Firstly what a 17 man team effort that was. Our bench looked a lot stronger than last week which it needed to be.

Fairbank-outstanding on attack and defence
Grix-getting better as he gets fitter-class act.
Salty-masses of work for winger and great go forward.

agree.
with more players to come back from injury can only get stronger.

Really? I know we all see games differently but Lannon and Kaye were seriously not the best 2 players on the pitch for us today!!!

Thought Lannon played very well this aft. Made good metres every single carry

I agree, he did play well but to say he was MoM is a bit much. He carried the ball well, did his defensive work too.
All 17 contributed in all areas. For me, the yards that Salty made, especially in second half, was absolutely priceless.

While i agree that Salty and others made some hard yards, so did Fairbank. Kaye was always probing from Dummy and making ground. On top of that they both must have been near the top of the tackle count. It was a team effort and at least a dozen could be in the top three. It was the defence that won this game which was why i chose them as my top two. Murrell kept them moving and was the pivot that moved us around as well as some good D. Rugby League may be about tries but you have to make sure the opposition score less than you. Hopefully after this result we will have more confidence and can sort out our attack in opposition 20. I think it was into last quarter before we got back to back sets.We have to learn to build pressure . All in all a decent day , more to come?

1 - Fairbank
2 - Moore
3 - Boyle

Everyone else was brilliant though, great performance and win.

Let's not forget our most consistent performer Adam Tangata, immense as always.
Special mention to Elliott Morris, energy and enthusiasm and he looks like he can cut it. Ryan Boyle played like a real pro, just got on with it, and did the hard yards. Luke has to work on his fitness to get back in this team for me.

Energy is infectious and I think Adam O'Brien has shown a lot of people the light, a kick up the arris so to speak.

I would also say Gaz Moores best game for us, where have you been Gaz? Welcome back to Fax.

Now lets.get a Hunslet win and get some cup cash flowing, we need it, and the exposure.

Then we can give Hull KR a real headache, make em work for everything, and draw some confidence that when we fire we can compete with anyone in this league.

Final note, to me we now have to embrace DR and our Academy players, the lads that have come in recently have improved us gradually, the senior 1st teamers need to perform and be kept on their toes.

1. Moore
2. Fairbank
3. Kaye/Grix

Many more outstanding performances but the whole team deserve a lot of credit.
