Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Re: Tonight’s game v Catalan : Sun May 26, 2024 10:38 am  
That was a cracker of a match in its own way. Our goal line defence was out of the very top drawer..A few baffling decisions, for us the 1 on 1 strip and the obstruction and for them the no try.
What is bets from our point of view though is that we have shown we can win games in different ways.
PS George Williams is just getting better ad better
PPS Satae was an absolute beast, the sort of player we have brought in before and they turned into pussycats when they arrived (Solomona, BMM) but under Burgess what could we do with him?!

Beat me to it Captain I was just about to post something similar on the different ways of winning. Last week was a feast of attacking whilst this was the best defensive game I've seen from us in such a long time I cant think when at the moment.

A thoroughly enjoyable sporting day in Chez Rico long may that continue

Yes, I think a strong defensive structure is for me, the last piece in the jigsaw that the squad needed. Bringing in Tai and the confidence of the players (to let them mark their opposite number) seems to have given us a big boost in defence. Les Cats did seem a bit clueless at times when attacking our line though so it will be interesting to see how we fare in the next run of games.

I am intrigued to see the squad / line up for the next game ( for both sides) !

I remember last year that one or two went ballistic when Powell failed to use all his subs as if it was the worst crime ever. It doesn't seem quite so important now. I must admit I thought it would be useful to bring on some fresh legs ... but not a big deal then or now.

Big difference if you don't use a sub and you win compared to don't use a sub and lose it was just part of Powells wider issue of using certain players whether they were effective or not. Burgess has trusted his players such as Holroyd, Wood, Lindop and has been rewarded, the only one who I don't think has gone well was Russell and he dealt with him afterwards.

Loved seeing Burgess busting his heart out chanting the celebratory (to which I still don’t know the words) in the dressing room.

Also, over the years I’ve been very vocal about competition being healthy…
And staunchly against Tony Smiths view of players returning from injury going straight back in to their position.

Tai has put himself in firmly in Connor Wrench’s foot print, and as much as I like Wrench, he cannot oust Tai, in much the same way Drinkwater could not oust Hayes.

It makes the statement that the squad is the team, and there are no favourites.
Even Williams missed out on a couple of games.

Quick question does anyone have a verified, confirmed attendance for the Catalans game? My usual sources have TBC....all very Hull KR.
