Team spirit was great too. Really working for each other. Other than his brain fart, rapana very solid

He's a competitor with a real will to win. Clearly massively popular with his team mates too.

Bet his stats are very high, makes metres every carry.

But but but he's old and slow.....

He's a good signing, just his off the stuff, but on the filed he is a very good player still. Think he will be good for the young lads too.

4 or 5 of those penalties must have been in the first 20 mins. Really impressive performance and hopefully we can back it up again with another performance next week

Absolutely. They'll have a great night!

He is to be fair

Great unexpected win, 1-17 brilliant, so much fitter and organised than last season. Standouts for me were Rapana, Bourouh, Cust and Asiata. Thought Lane was much improved on last season too, looks to have bulked up a bit...Briscoe didn't look out of place as a centre. Still bits to work on, can't be giving that many penalties away v Wigan next week.

McNamara needs to improve things and quickly, can't see Guash having much patience with him. Pangai jr looked overweight and Garcia is wasted at 9.

Great to see Thrikhill enjoying the post match Old Faithful too

There were also a couple that weren't really discipline related, such as the offside that we challenged. Just a bit unlucky there. And both the Rapana knees on Makinson and the Barron push in goal were really soft.

Sao had a bit of a reactive grab when he was wrong footed, but it wasn't bad one, typical forward tackling a back sort of penalty. That and Cust speaking out of turn were the disappointing ones. Apart from that I thought discipline was fine.
