My takes from the game Russell took is try well, Max Wood was really good making meters on impact every time. Johnson looked ok for his first game. Hartill looked good at 9. So I’m going to say it now Musgrove did not impress and thought he would have come back on. The knock Ratchford got don’t think he knew what day it was he was all over the place. The ref was clueless and the Widnes fans were acting like they won the Grand Final lol.

I thought Oli Leyland kicked well & that Musgrove was our strongest runner by some way. I was disappointed with our overall defence and our reliance on one man drives. Patton was best attacking back on the field.

End of the day it was a game to see how individuals went, it was never going to be a team game with the amount of substitutions going on.

Yeah it was a good run out for some of the players and valuable experience for the younger guys. Alfie Johnson seemed to go really well, Russell put a good stint with alot of effort in. No improvement from Musgrove, Leyland just sat back and kicked for most of the game. But this is just listening to the radio, also it's basically a game for the younger guys. First game of pre-season and doesn't really mean much yet.

It was okay.

Dave Cain was a bit RL Raw in his 1st commentary, but he did ok and he’ll be better for reviewing himself, and I guess better than I would have been….
Yes I had done RL radio commentary in the early 90s.
