That opening 25 minutes from Cooper was fantastic, best prop on the field by a distance. Thewlis has put out 2 great performances on the trot, if he can work on his link play he could be excellent.
Mata’utia was good, Dean also. Left edge looks very strong and how quick was Wrench to get in for his try?!?
On the other side, Hudds were shocking, lost count of how often they dropped the ball in our 10m. Hill aside they struggled to make ground and Lolohea off the back of that couldn’t get in to the game.
Philbs was worrying, he struggled to keep hold of the ball at times and looked very frustrated. The rest hopefully can take confidence in to the Wigan game, will need to step up another level. Thewlis & Dean to keep their spot, might mean that Wrench misses out, but Dean deserves another shot, Mata’utia doesn’t deserve to be left out and Williams didn’t do anything wrong pre injury.
EDIT: just to add, thought Dean / Thewlis complimented eachother really well
