I said last week was the proudest I've felt as an FC fan in a while, and this week has topped it. What an amazing effort - especially backing up after last week's golden point match. 


Last year's team would have lost that 50-0, there'd have been talk midweek in the HDM about how the players were going to right their wrongs, they'd learnt lessons etc...then they'd go out and get tonked again the following week...and repeat. Zero accountability from a lot of the players. 


Cartwrights post match interview shows one of the biggest differences to last year - player accountability. He said the half time team talk was player led - there's a lot of players in that team who have a lot of personal pride and desire to win - you could see it in their second half performances, they wanted to make up for the first half. It's got a feeling of the 2016 team, the players have a togetherness, don't want to let each other down and we have that desire to win every game, no matter the circumstances.


Finally - how was Borouh not a starting player at Salford, one of the most underrated signings in SL this season for me, turning in to a brilliant player. 

Yes and he was written off by some on here before he pulled a shirt on because he wasn't being selected by Salford. Same with Hardaker at Leigh.


Maybe Myler knows more than they do after all.

After watching the game again today a few things really stood out. The first being the carries and metres that both Barron & Martin made coming out of our 20 was fantastic. The performance of Sezer especially in the 2nd directing the play & his running. Hardaker & Bourouh who have really stood up since joining the club. I know Big Herman often and rightly gets spoken about, but thought Knight & Ashworth really drove us forward. 


Every player from 1-17 put in one hell of a shift and that’s all we ever ask. 


Great to see the togetherness not just of the players, but also the Coach and the owner too. 

Hard to say after a a decent start to the season from us, but need to see more from Cust
