Whilst I still have a few reservations about his defensive strength, I think all things considered he is a much safer and consistent player than Platty. Certainly worth a new 2 year deal to see if he can continue to improve, but will he stay?

yes , I think his inclusion is worth it on kick return alone, then bring into play his new found support - much better option than Platt

Good game generally. An improvement of the last few weeks anyway! ( )
Was impressed with the attack, some imagination at last. Defence is still too leaky though.
Some of the refs calls were just bizarre, for both sides, its no wonder the players were getting fed up.
Rinaldi was ace today, as was Langley. Deacon was poor, why is he still getting a place, week in week out? Everything he tried today seemed to fall apart.
Not sure why Cook was dropped. He has been one of the few players who always seemed to be up for it. Instead, put Whitehead on the bench and not use him. Bizarre in any books.
Still, a wins a win.

Can we play Wakey every week please?

Why did it all kick off? I couldn't really see. Think Burge could be in bother, he ran about 20 yards to get stuck in.

Good lad.

On the game I thought the attitude of the players was a lot better but the overall level of the performance was just as bad IMO.

Demetriou seemed to take exception to something, causing him and Scruton to start belting each other.

I think Burgess will be glad to know that it's an England game next week. The RFL don't usually suspend players if they're due to play an international.

Even with that though, he'll be lucky to get away with it. Running in like that usually results in some sort of punishment. Even if it was excellent

It seemed to all start because Ben Jefferies would let go of the ball so Demetriou was ragging him about this upset Scruton.

So if he cops a one match ban, that would rule him out of the England game but leave him free for the Warrington game?

Go on RFL, do the right thing, he was well out of order...

It's not a bad point, I'm not sure how that works.

I wonder if there's some ruling that says you can only count 1 game in a 72 hour period or something. If not, I bet one gets invented

Everyone ran in when the Wakefield player decided to swing a punch from nowhere when Scruton tried to pull him off Jeffries. Hard to accuse one of the many who ran in. Dumb play by Wakefield player when they'd just won a penalty.

Sadly not my friend

Hypothetically speaking, if he's banned for one game and he was already selected in the England side, then not only would he be banned from playing in that game but also the Bulls game that weekend
