Silky skills from all our backs, outstanding work from Mickey P Westy Sav Josh Bowden Houghton. Josh Griffin absolutely unplayable.

Can’t we swap Ratus passport and send someone else to the Army, he’s made the wing position his own, the rest have to fight it out.

Fabulous travelling support from Hull on our second visit, Greeny and Mickey P will be very unlucky if they are not retained.

Jamie Shaul - would really expect him to be running amok in games like this and other big wins
He’s there for his attacking prowess

Then I watched the game again and at 12.13 into the game Jamie runs the ball out of Defence

If you’ve recorded it go to 12.12

Look at his body language as he sees the 3 big defenders

Am I reading too much into it ?

Concussions can scare the absolute shiot out of anyone and he’s had 2 bad ones very recently

I may have it wrong ?

Jamie was in fine form pre concussions, and since his return has improved steadily in each game, but they are only human, and as with all players who suffer injuries and illness due to our sport, it’s a credit to their durability and toughness that they come back for more, he will be reet

What?
Like everything else?

Just rewatched the game.
Kelly was absolutely class for our first two tries.
Savelio strong as a bull for the next.
Griffin showing real pace for the next two. Soft hands from Sneydy, again, and Buchanans debut SL try.
Ratu beating two defenders behind his own goal line before putting the after-burners on was rather exquisite.
Griff just too big amd strong for his second. Kassiano couldn't handle him then dumps another on his posterior.
Shaully doing what he does best for the finale and icing on the proverbial cake.
Marc lethal with his boot slotting betweens the H's.
It's a pretty good feeling when everything clicks like yesterday.
Credit where it's due.

Fantastic performance with Griffin, Kelly and Ratu the stand outs. Crazy to think we stIll have Tuimavave, Mini and Ellis to come back.

Going into Rovers I think he’ll bring Tui in for Buchanan and Mini in for Fash. Harsh on Buchanan who had his best game for us so far last night but Radford seems to manage his young players game time and not rush them.

Shaul
Ratu
Connor
Tuimavave

Must be our strongest 17 all season.

Josh Griffin on fire yesterday:
2 tries
1 assist
190 metres
11 tackle busts
3 clean breaks
Av gain 11.2m
23 tackles (no misses)

Presumably in that team Savelio is being used in the middle again? He played a bit wider yesterday and I thought he was more effective. It's a very strong side though. My only concern for the derby is how much the heat and the short turnaround take out of us. Rovers are desperate, if our intensity isn't quite right we could easily get turned over.

Taylor to cover prop.
Bowden prop and 13.
Mini 2nd row.
Savelio 2nd row and prop.

Gives us plenty of options off the bench.

We could do a lot worse. He obviously isn't a big fan of Percival, and I can't see Reece Lyne being involved this time. He's not a bad shout for a squad place at least.

Just wanted to mention Savelio - best game for us so far yesterday I thought.

Yes. Not sure how much of it was because he was played in his best position and how much was down to him now finding his feet, but he looked really strong. I think he will do you a job in the front row but we definitely need him playing wider to get the best out of him.

I've been saying since we signed him that Griffin needs good, early ball and hes devastating. With a better link from the halves and being 1 man in really suits his game although you would say the same about any 2nd rower
