It was laxer than lax - Haven only had 10 (maybe 11) on the field when they scored. About a minute before that, Bongser thought to himself (as no one else listens to his thoughts) "We might very well nil these guys but, whilst our press defence is good in their half, the defence in our own looks flaky."

There are sterner tests to come and the team need to learn a new interpretation of the old chestnut "It's a game of two halves!"

Centurions generally in control though and Bongser would have loved a centre the size of MacDonald to the inside in the former's lacklustre days on the wing. Did Nene get to take the matchball home?

Early doors leaders, let's hope we stay there - the club's tag line was already looking tired a couple of years ago.

Bongser , a fair view from you , against 10 men I felt we should have kept them out , even AL said the same , we could have had more points had the ball gone to hand and not to ground , McDonald could have had 5or 6 tries on another day , but it will come , a good all round start .Charlie knows.

Not sure Fev could cope with that pack. If anything we lack ideas at dummy half.


I actually agree with that. This has been my thoughts since the Saints game. Reynolds is not a favourite of mine anyway, and I just can't make my mind up about Mellor. If we had Ryan Brierley in that team today, we would've run complete riot.

For a first hit out was a pretty good performance. Hard to tel in sone respect as with all due respect Haven we’re not the strongest challenge. Amone and Loane made a big impact coming on an Aetkin and Macbonald looked good. The remainders from last season all performed well. Think we need a few more bodies to give us options against different teams. Big change next week when we play Feath and that will give us the benchmark for success.

Despite not wanting to lose Ryan after his move to FB, Aekins is a couple of rungs higher in that FB ladder. Mellor and Reynolds looked very good in my eyes yesterday, the interchange hooker needs to be running a lot more imo and Ipape does that.

IMO Reynolds & Mellor were excellent yesterday and i already love the left edge combo of Reynolds, Macdonald & Dixon. I think that edge will run riot this year, Reynolds already looks to have a great relationship with Macdonald. Dixon could be pound for pound our best signing this year he is so quick. Asiata bossed it in the middle and was very classy with his run/pass options, Stone runs some great lines on the right edge and that pack of Sidlow, Green, Amone & Ioane was outstanding. We did lose a lot of momentum when Smith went off, he definitely made us click. Aekins was outstanding and looked a very useful runner.

Very Positive. Loved it yesterday!

Agree re Reynolds and Mellor thought both were very good, only thing that worries me they both lack a yard of pace, York nothing to worry about on this showing so far

York don’t seem owt special , but what about that Brian McDermott interview.?ask arrogant and difficult , I felt he was doing his best to make it hard for the interviewer .

We played a weak team in Haven, and the halves didn't excite me in that regard. After our next couple of games against Fev & Bradford, my analysis may be different.

We all see the game differently, think the halves controlled the game, can’t believe more people haven’t talked about Asiata, the guy was immense he will be the best player in the championship this year
