Like you rider I Jake put the kick through then get pulled back followed the ball and saw Mitch touch it down for the try then just saw what looked like Connor end up on the floor.

I just don't see what JJ offers, decent defence, but pretty much nothing going forward, go passing game, slow and doesn't make breaks or many metres.

Players like him should come from within, I'm sure a young player could do his job as good if not better.

He hasn't moved here for 20k a year, so I think we could get much value on the cap than him for a youth player, certainly a player we should be looking at replacing within next season. The top teams don't have squad players like him, they use younger players, done Ok whilst we have injuries, but realistically shouldn't be anywhere near the 17.

Still under using Satae, was fantastic last week, this week 9 drives, no way should Satae be taking the same drives as Bowden in a game, should be doing 15 minimum.

Two negative posts, thought we worked really hard, defensively excellent and thought we looked comfy for most of the game, bombed a couple of trys too. Thought Savelio was outstanding, worked really hard along with Lovodua and Mitch. no real bad performances to be fair.

Looked a bit pedestrian in attack, will help having Gale back and some threat from Carlos, big decision for the Wigan game who to play at 6, Mcnamama or Lovodua, you can have Lovodua on the bench to cover hooker, but feel he is too good to play 40 minutes

Think bonaire is talking about the incident which Sav scored Chris, think Tuli must have thrown a punch, but the try took ages to be awarded, I really enjoyed the game, some great defensive hits from both teams.

Sorry Rider thats the one I meant where Joe put the kick in and Connor kicked it on and Sav scored not Mitch (older age starting to affect me ).

I think we l end up introducing Balmforth over Johnstone at some point. Definitely needs releasing though and a youngster giving a chance.

Satae seemed to only play 20 mins, may of thought we looked comfortable so gave him a break.

Understand your point, but its a long season, we're only 6 games in. we saw last year what happened when we burnt Satae out due to injuries etc, he wasn't the same player towards the back end of the year. The less work he is doing now will leave him fresher towards the end of the season.

You'd think Balmforth would get a stab against Sheffield

They might just have been being a bit cautious with him after his niggle last week.

Think few would argue that we have done better than expected considering not just the amount of injuries we have had but the number of key personnel missing. Will be interesting to see how we cope and develop as a team as we get more of the first team back fit and in the 17.
We have certainly seemed better at dealing with the adversity this season so far than last year when we just capitulated completely.
We just need to maintain consistency for 80 mins week in week out as we certainly stifled Huddersfields attack and didn't allow them to get going even after giving them opportunities to get in to the game the defence was good enough apart from the slight switch off that allowed McQueen in to score. We can't rely on defence like that each week so need to be better in the attacking phase to relieve the amount of pressure to defend we invited on ourselves yesterday.

Evans should be back for the Wigan game too as the 2nd game of his 2 match ban will be the cup game. It may be worth sitting Satae out for the cup game and playing Burrell.

I’m undecided if Big Chris needs a rest, or more game time, he’s been a superb signing and can’t wait for Tag, Evans, to join the pack. As I said earlier Manu looked in some discomfort during the game, but surprisingly carried on, perhaps he’s a doubt.

Think was more to do with him catching covid, apparently lost alot of weight whilst ill.

Enjoyed that. Good food in the circle bar.

Had a natter with Tag, reckons he'll be back for the Cats game. Good to speak to Bowden after, he said he was told after his injury at the Fev cup game that he'd never play again.

Picked up Pies tickets, £30!!!!!! I've paid less than that for Challenge Cup final tickets.
