Great display from all concerned. I somehow think that if Big Dave had been playing today he would have somehow got in the way. The forwards, particularly Whitbread and Arona were simply superb.
I'd like to see something of a two pronged attack now by both ourselves and Toulouse and force Warrington to the bottom of the pile.

A brilliant victory thought Arona and Whitbread were massive today and the half backs got a grip on the game.

How many tackles did they have on our line, and we coped magnificently.

I just hope and pray Batch doesn't leave , I will be well peeved if he does.

What, like Miller and Lino getting in each other's way ??

I thought our kicking and chase game was good today.
Obviously a planned tactic to keep French and Field from their long runs. Apart from the one on our line that led to a try they didn't really have any space.

We had a few knocks today. Batch went down late and came off on crutches, hopefully precautionary as he was still walking on it.
Crowther was limping but he walked home so hopefully nothing serious.
Shaul got his thigh/groin strapped up at the end too
Hopefully these are as much about fatigue as anything else as we'll need all three badly for the run un.

One thing not mentioned is the crusher tackle by I think Mago on Hall. Looked bad at full speed and I don't even think the ref was going to give it if it wasn't for Hall staying down and the ingoal judge having a word.

That's a good point. I'd forgotten about that.
Wasn't a nice look but he got up OK.

We should celebrate the win today but not let it paper over what is another poor season. We cannot go on like this and next season will be the most difficult especially if Leigh are promoted.
We have lost TJ, the club have not spoken to Batchelor or Miller or they would know if they have signed elsewhere, if they have then they are a big loss and you can add to that Fifita.

Again, you don't know any of that.
We have money after losing Tom and Tupou if the list.
Let's see what happens.
