We don't want to be hearing the marathon not a sprint phrase on Monday morning that's for sure. We've become noted for slow starts in recent seasons and it's high time that changed. As for Doro not even being in the squad, surely it must be because of injury. I see him as a direct replacement for Gwaze and from what I have seen he should be in from the start. It will be a tight game whatever and let's see if we can get off to a flyer. Up The Fax!

If rawsthorne gets picked instead of maizen I’m sending my ticket back lol

I can't believe we've brought Rawsthorne back. Last time out he was so uninterested it was almost as though he thought he was too good to be in't championship. It smacks as a job's for the boys scenario. Let's hope when he gets his chance he proves the doubters wrong.

Rawsthorne is definitely this years joe Martin.

Well we have our first win. A bit close for comfort. Our foal line defence let us down, Sheffield never looked like scoring from far out. It was or usual niglley match with them.
We certainly have speed on the left flank with Maizen and Walmsley the try was a belter.I thought the ref was no use at all the stuff he missed was amazing. See how we go against Fev next week but I think
Once we get going we will be hard to beat.

Bit of a scratchy performance and we could have easily lost that one . Our defence in the middle of the park looked aggressive and on point but goal line defence looked poor . We looked like we were lacking fluidity in attack which is probably down to lack of preseason games . Tangata , salty , gee , inman all played well . See how fev go on tomorrow but we’ll have to up our game significantly to get anything over there . Maher only played 10 minutes could be injured.

Fine line between success and failure, nothing much between teams today, but that last minute try sends majority of what was a very encouraging crowd home happy and hopefully keen to come back in a couple of weeks. Inman and Maizen very promising, still don't like/understand keeping Moore on when we bring on new hooker. Attack very clunky, JWH now though a really assured fullback defensively including dealing brilliantly with a succession of bombs. Clear now Doro's absence down to injury - hope King gets a game next week, as based on his performances for Whitehaven against us I think he'd bring something different to the pack. Not sure what happened with Maher today, maybe unfair to judge him on that.

After watching those interviews I’m glad Ashton and Farrell feel intimidated when they come. The know it won’t be and easy game. Anyway that one is in the bag so we can forget their petty moaning and blaming the ref (anybody know what the penalty count was for each team). Onto Fev.
