One Swallow does not make a spring, it was a much better performance than last week, but god the Dragons were terrible even down to 11 men we were better than them. However I hold judgement over whether the team has turned the corner, I think Wakefield will be a better bench mark next week. However Mr Child was a complete and under joke, the man is not fit to ref under 11 Rugby League, he is on a par with Robert Hicks. Where are the decent refs.

Can someone give me a run through of our half back situation tonight. From what I've read, Mags and moon, with sutty in the pack? Jimmy to centre? Then burrow and parcell interchanging? If I've got that right, how did it all work? I read on Twitter a lot of praise for suttcliffe tonight.

If mags and moon seemed to flow I think that could be a good option as I fully believe keinhorst is developing into a fantastic centre.

We defended in their original positions, although Sutcliffe tended to stay nearer the middle and did his job. Then when we had ball, the attack moved to the positions you mentioned, with Cuthbertson also playing a prominent part in the attacking moves. It was a surprise, completely different to the way we have tried to play so far, but changing the line up would do that, but it worked.

Child was really poor, but no surprises there, his ego knows no bounds. But Hicks is the best ref in Super League for last year, so an unfair comparison.

It was a massively patched up Catalan side. But saying that, it was the best rugby we have played in SL excluding middle 8's for a year.

Didnt look massively patched up to me.But then again I did think that Gigot left a big hole for them.Perhaps Inu's head shots could have helped.
Good performance ,I am happy they came up with the goods after last week.

Some great performances last night, especially from Keinhorst and Golding but the Frenchies were poor to say the least.

I still wonder why Walters gets a shirt, he removes any 'zing' that we have going forward and has the retiring speed of a supertanker.

But Child...???? How the Hell he can be called a SL standard ref confuses me.

Hicks and Thaler are the best of a bad bunch for me, but they suffer from inconsistency, whereas Child is consistently bad!

Brian McDermott is the saviour.

How bad are Warrington and St Helens!

We're nailed on for top 4.
