Looking a bit less grim now. How long till we get into the play off zone? I'd say we could get to eighth by Warrington game, with wins in all except Leeds. Then go on with confidence into the Saints game and give them a run for their money. Being very hopeful obviously, but after a win this may breathe some life into the side and let them reah their potential.

I don't wanna be too confident after this win. It really did sound like it could have gone either way. It's not like the Dragons are flying high either. I'll give the table a proper look after 10 games.

With any luck though we can get back to back wins and push Leeds at home. This team should be expected to at least put up a fight against the champions.

Yeah, I don't want to be too confident, but our team obviously has potential and a win might give them the confidence to unleash their potential.

Don't forget that the Dragons had 3 tries chalked off as well.

Im sorry but it sounds like we are a million miles away from even thinking about competing with leeds.

Cas were abject at the start of last year and then more than competed with Leeds. It's a possibility.

No you've won one (well done for that) will you be bringing an army over to the cas game, be nice to see a good crowd

Yes we've won a game, but you have to wonder, if the game had been played at Odsal without the benifit of a video ref how many of Cats disallowed tries would have stood? The mere fact that they crossed our line 3 times more than us should tell you all you need to know that we've played our joker for the season.

People talk as though the Catalan tries were wrongly disallowed and this somehow meant we 'stole a win'. But without seeing the game could it be possible that at least some of the tries were saved due to good defence?

Perhaps we got the rub of the green, but it's about bloody time we got some video ref decision going our way! The most important thing last night was getting a result to take some pressure out our play. We got a fine win away in France, which is still an intimidating place to play as anyone else who has been will confirm.
