Firstly Nicky is spot on about Custs defence. Gets bumped off fair too easy.
Fairly happy with him on the ball and think he’ll improve next year. Seems to have a brilliant attitude.
He leaves a lot of the kicking and play making to Smith though.
Tommy straight back in for me with Cust on the bench.
On the game it didn’t really change my mind on where both sides are at.
Simm, Bennison and Davies won’t all be lining up at old Trafford. Them early set devastating Makinson carries were sorely missed. As was Hopoate linking play.
Don’t think the final score was a fair reflection either.
Think Saints would be a 4 point favourite if we played in the final but we still have a good chance.
I’d rather have lost last night and not lost Faz to injury. I’d be amazed if it isn’t season over for him.
Smithies is the form 13 in SL, not really notice Knowles tbh (maybe carrying a knock?).
The extra attention we’ve gave Welsby has been coming for months now. Proper grub* and had a nightmare evening and we let him know it.
*disclaimer - great great player and I’d love him if he played for us.
Rest up now and get ready for tough semi final.
Wouldn’t shock to if the final wasn’t Saints Wigan.
