The defense is a great result of the game and we will need that but I'd like to see us running the attack more...... But of course that is what they do in training so I don't doubt Chester is on that.

Actually I should correct myself as although I don't think we should not look at the attack in friendlies, Chester has just said that he and Smith clearly held back some of the attack to not give away anything for the first game.

TJ looked good for a first run out. He’s obviously a way off his best but physically looked tip top in contact.

Josh Woods I really like the look of. Looks like he enjoys putting shots on and good distribution at ptb.

All in all a good run out and an improvement on the showing at Leeds. Still think we’re short of top 5 quality but looked ahead of HKR on this showing. Still some big players to come back in for us, honestly not sure who they were missing.
Masoe was stretchered off early on for them, hope he’s back soon always enjoyed watching him

Spoke to TJ after the game, said it was a good run out and he is fine.....

Only one I saw hobbling a bit after was Max Jowitt..

That was Hauraki you saw in the boot. Masoe was taken to Hopital with a neck injury.

Yes Tom mentioned he’d just been bored to death by someone with a Barnsley twang

Well there’s a surprise.

Perhaps it’s credit to HKR defence.
