A scrappy win lots of errors & still frustrating to watch but a wins a win. This win keeps our play off hopes alive some might see that as a good thing others will see it as a bad thing but it is what it is. Hooley was very good again today cleaned up well again at the back and supported well for his try. Sezer showed some effort today and put in some nice kicks it's a shame he can't do that more consistently. Cam Smith takes some stick on here but for me he'd be one of first names on team sheet in most SL teams as starting 13 his effort is always there and his footwork at line is great and he looked dangerous with ball and deserved man of the match today for me. If we scrape a few more wins in our last 5 games and HKR & Wire drop points we may take that final play off place and who knows what can happen when play off rugby comes round.

Think to make the playoffs and finish with more wins than losses we have to win 4 out of 5 which is possible. But importantly we have to not lose to sides close to us in table. Huddersfield and Hull games will have the biggest impact on play off hopes.

That miss on Dufty on the KO was diabolical.

Glad it sounds like Hooley is taking his chance.

so by the sounds of it we were our usual garbage but sneaked a win?

Hooley is a good player he got the monkey off his back today let's hope he gets more game time and kicks on.

We were erratic and sloppy at times frustrating but to say we were Garbage is way of the mark, big effort today competed well, and got a valuable win.

Yes had a good couple of games now, the 1 shirt his his for rest off season which will do him good. Could be first choice 2 next season with another off season as a full time pro.

Hooley looks to be pretty skilled and an intelligent player, he really needs to add a bit of power and pace this off season, he's got the frame to do it, so hopefully he can have an injury free pre season.

A proper professional off-season could do him the world of good. Didn’t he miss most of this one with an injury?

Goodness me that was 2 very ordinary teams playing today.
Enjoyed the game for the excitement more than anything.
Plus points Fusitua, Smith who may have had 2 possibly 3 poor games all season but other than that shows up.
Walters who was head and shoulders (literally) better than all our other props and put in some big minutes.
Hooley did ok as did Bentley who yes misses a few tackles but makes plenty to offset it.
Downside for me Johnson who I am not sure what he offers certainly in the halves and O`Connor who had another poor game but made a number of tackles.
I do think Sinfield should have played today and hopefully he`s given the remaining games in the halves.
