100% Effort : Thu May 14, 2009 9:45 pm  

And thats all you can ask for! I can't remember the last time we looked as up for it as we did in the second half.

When we started winning the collissions by running with conviction widnes struggled to slow us down - as we did with them in the first half. We also started winning the wrestle on the floor.

Hopefully the Aussie can arrive asap to bolster the squad - and i would think it was christmas if we could sign an experienced prop to lead us round.

Moving up at speed and putting pressure on the ball was fantastic.

thats the best we have played for a v long time in mho - think it was the 100% effort that did it for me!

A few things to work on:

Discipline - at times could have cost us.
work on our attack - at times we are still clueless - but a big improvement.
Hobson - work on his fitness and holding the ball - not his biggest fan - hope he makes me eat my words

I agree with most but our discipline was a lot better.

I think he is immense and a vital player for our side but 10 seasons ? not yet. I have said before I would willingly contribute to keep him at our club.

Pound for pound, Chris Hill is the best prop we have had at this club since Derek Pyke.

No chance, we've found in the past that he isn't cut out to play in the second row - he was all the attributes of a top front rower, and he's certainly showing it at the minute.

Discipline was excellent first half (winning the penalty count at 5-3 in the first half IIRC) but we fell to pieces at one stage in the second half, giving away 4 penalties in one set of six Think I got the final count at summat like 11-8 to Widnes, but I lost count late on
