We still don't seem to play an expansive enough game, its all about forwards, if we are to have any success we must start to get our outside backs involved more and also be more clinical when on top.

were getting there slighty week by week

i think we will shock alot of people this season

On what I saw last week and what I heard on the radio last night (RH, as KCFM was garbage), the forwards are doing a good job but the half backs need to show a sense of urgency about their play with a bit more spontaneity, wich will spur on the threequarters hopefully.
Next weeks game is a whole new ball game with the Dragons, we really do have to be seriously strong in defence, as with last nights showing they were like rolling thunder in the second half against Wire, ok wire defence was poop.

Thought our kicking game was poor tonight to be honest, not until late in the second half did we put a couple of kicks in that actually turned them round. all other kicks seemed to go straight to a man. When we push the ball wide we look dangerous, but for me we don,t go wide often enough, suppose i should be use to this by now being a hull supporter.
Although i don,t think we played that well last night 2 points is 2 points and probably 2 points we would have lost last year, We were on a hiding to nothing last night Celtic were always going to come out and give it everything on their first home game and they will probably surprise a few teams if they perform like they did last night for the rest of the season.

well done to agar and sharp on a job well done so far

We did a lot of that last night. When we DID get some width we looked much more dangerous.

We did score a couple of cracking tries, mind.

Pre season all the talk was of our pack not being up to much so it's good to see our pack winning us games. I think when Raynor returns we will be a lot more handy in the backs with him and Briscoe on the wings.

Calderwood?

I think is far inferior to Raynor or Briscoe. Raynor and Briscoe are dangerous even without service from their centres.

So we're going to drop a current England international winger based on 2 performances?

I don't know if we will or not but I certainly hope so. With a fit Raynor, G.Horne, Yeamo, Calderwood and Briscoe I think Agar would have to drop Calderwood.
