Thoughts from seeing matches over the weekend.
Saints phenomenal - Walmsley had a massive game. No let up when the interchanges took place.
Hull 2nd best in everything, although I still like the look of Satae and Sao. Once again indiscipline cost Hull dear - including the incredibly stupid Gale act. Rightly set off.
Thought there was a little more leeway by the ref on late shots / whiplash - and that stupid act by the Saints forward on the Hull player protecting his fullback. It doesn't matter to me that it was 'just' a shove, the Hull player wasn't expecting it and his head certainly went back. That's as bad as the Dwyer and Holmes incidents imo.
Both those packs will be a problem for us unless we have a 'cunning plan'.
Cats slightly on top of Wakey. Even though they lost I think Wakey can take a lot out of that - especially the 'never say die' attitude.
(The first ankle tap on Lineham proved pivotal in the end).
But again discipline cost Wakey.
Cats have big guys all over the park and at times looked like they would run away with it, but I think McNamara will not be too pleased. Plenty to work on.
Wigan - wow, but maybe that's partly due to the opposition. Jai Field - just how good is he? he simply destroyed Wigan - and I bet he is as quick if not quicker than Ashton. Already I think he's my MOS favourite.
I really like his play.
A shout out for Liam Tindall - again somebody who is very quick and looked at home in SL.
Sezer misfired.
Matt Peat has certainly got Wigan playing in a far more attractive way than I've seen for years.
Roll on next week.
