Well done to all concerned for getting a competitive squad together in such a short space of time. I'm sure we will see the team spirit return amongst the players and the fans again. It has been sadly missing for some time.

Re: Sunday's squad : Sat Jan 26, 2019 2:40 am  

Indeed, quite a remarkable feat.

Well done..

Ditto, great effort.

Same effort from the fans now.

We didn’t half look a small team when compared to London, and I thought London looked small for a Super League side! I think we are going to get bullied by some teams this season.

Re: Sunday's squad : Sun Jan 27, 2019 5:30 pm  

Great defensive effort particularly in the first half, we created plenty try scoring opportunities on the left, none taken, but none on the right, why??

Re: Sunday's squad : Sun Jan 27, 2019 5:36 pm  

First contact game and the squad will benefit 100% from today, must agree with observation above, we did look on the small side.

Ditto. I can see a few teams taking us on, up the middle. Hopefully, Luke Douglas will make a difference there.

Very difficult to criticise anyone, in what was basically a training exercise. Next week should see an improvement, after getting the first outing out of the way, and when we field a more settled seventeen.

Lack of tries a bit of a worry but early days.
What has happened with Acton is he gone or just serving a bad was suggested he could be playing part time a while ago? Lack of size could make it a tough year in the champ.

On another day, Stefan Marsh would have ended the game with a hat trick.

Ridyard Woods pairing showed promise. Russel showed up well.

Young Centre from St.Helens, Costello showed promise.

Useful run out for a squad 6 weeks behind its competitors.
