2 Points in the bag though, thank you,

Well we'll hopefully have Kelly fit by then and a further 5 first teamers back so it's possible there's improvement to come. James Roby is certainly very confident about your chances. www.totalrl.com/roby-confident-s ... -trafford/

Maybe but as you were the new favourites to come steaming up and snatch the grand final away from cas you
should of beat us easily tonight given we was missing shaul, fanoa ,minichello, talanoa and bowden. We had Thompson who is a regular 2nd row and occasionally plays prop at centre and ended up with manu in the other centre. May not of being a great spectacle but with the pace in your team the fact you could only muster 6 points would suggest we was far from terrible. These games are about finding a way to win when your backs are against the wall. That's the sign of a team who can make massive inroads in the play offs. Happy for the likes of your self along with most of the sky pundits to keep over looking us or writing us off though.

And we kept Saints quiet for 76 of 80 minutes. So much for being the entertainers!

Just got back in, not the greatest game in some senses that I've ever seen but credit the 17 and coaching staff with a great result. Griffin & Thompson did a great job in the conditions and all things considered, worryingly left yards of space on the wing but covered it well as if that was the plan.
Thought Connor did well at FB only real mistake was the ball he spilt towards the end of 1st half.
Sneyd controlled the 2nd half brilliantly and make a cracking tackle on Connor with 2 mins to go to stop him and tell him to slow down.
Awful conditions and a reshuffled team hampered any chance of a decent game but the 17 did a great job.

Forget the performance, huge 2 points and puts us a great position for the top 4.

Possible gives us the chance to rest a couple next week, if possible id rest our 3 most important players in Kelly, Houghton and Ellis next Friday

As Rovers fans keep telling Kelly doesn't like it when the doing gets tough, that's why he put his hand up to play despite being injured.

Don't know what went on at rovers but it was quite clear they wasn't a team fighting for each other last year. Kelly may well of just had enough of feeling who was trying everything at times whilst some of the others were stealing a living. This year he's at a club full of players fighting for a place week in week out. The kr fans I speak to have said for a long time they don't man manage a lot of players correctly.

So that's where Netherton learnt his trade!

Good 2 points .
Now let's turn our attention to retaining the Cup .

Hudds, next Friday night is next on the list.

After a error riddled win, it would be good to get some fluidity in attack ahead of Wembley.

Some attack full stop, be nice not to have the opposition in our line at the play the ball!

Just Home from A Long Working Weekend ..
Unreal win Friday Night, huge step that.

Any injuries, knocks to report guys?

Apparently Kelly left with his arm in a sling.

Didn't he arrive with it in a sling too?

Guessing we'll have Bowden back (says he's ready to return on social media), Fonua (wife's had the baby), hopefully Talanoa recovered from illness. So that leaves Mini (Radford said he could have played at a push?) and Shaul. Reckon Connor, Griffin and Michaels will all play anyway.
