happy with the win, did ellis come of injured ?

Kind of reminds me of last year when we beat Wakefield after the hammering at Widnes, nothing spectacular but fairly comfortable win.

Saints have beaten Castleford

I said we'd edge them but given how many they had out and they aren't exactly spilling over with quality you'd be very dissapointed losing even after Friday.
it's 2 points in the bag, plenty to work on by all accounts but attack seemed a bit better in the first half.
At least we have 6 days for bodies to recover before Cas as that's going to be a really tough encounter.

A relieving two points. Good to have Carlos back, sounded very good in defence and attack.

We needed his defence on that left edge.Wouldnt surprise me if Griffin was dropped due to his lack of defence.Connor had a go at him late in the Leeds game.
Want to see Carlos back on the right as i like that quartet with Manu,Fonua,and Kelly but Radford will stick with this backline next week.
What to do with Griffin will be interesting after the hype of his signing.What can you do with someone who cant tackle?

So in the games Houghtons been out weve played 5 won 2 lost 2 drawn 1

Re: Game thread... : Mon Apr 17, 2017 4:24 pm  

Decent performance. Thought Carlos made a real difference, Watts best forward on the pitch, good to see Fash, Litten and Turgut get plenty of game time also. Litten's break for our 4th try was electric. Still too many errors and penalties but a game we had in the bag throughout. Washy put a right shift in as well to say he looked knackered on Friday. Nice one.

Vital for us to start getting our act together at the KC.
Great time for us to start next Sunday.
Victory will leave us a point off top spot and in an excellent position with just about half the regular season gone.

Scoreline flattered us, you only started making (after the 1st quarter) 'silly mistakes' at 0-24. First 15 minutes we had lots of penalties/Hull errors' but once you scored it was boys v men. MPG here we come....(hopefully)

I think you guys are being a bit pessimistic here.

Congratulations on a good rugby performance. You were way too good for us and gave us a big lesson on how to play in SL - especially in the first half. You impressed with your quick play the balls, well organised defence, a good kicking game, and a lot of superb offloading. Unlike the last two visitors to LSV, (Widnes and Cats) you played decent rugby and didn't resort to spoiling, delaying tactics.

It hurts to lose again, but much less so when the opposition has fully deserved it.
