Or you could just read properly, he was on about Matautia.

After conceding three tries in 12 minutes it looked like we had collapsed again and I thought we were done.



For a team low on confidence that struggles under pressure I pleased we came out and did the business in the second half.



Daryl Clark looks done. We looked much better when Walker came on.



Love the threat that Dufty offers with the ball in hand. He’ll create space for the players around him as he’ll suck in defenders.



Hope we can crack on from this but I’ve thought we turned a corner about four times this season.





T

i have to applaud the kick from Ashton, I can’t think of another winger that could’ve executed it.

Apart from Ryan Hall against us a couple of weeks ago. Agree though, a great kick and a well deserved try for Holmes who was excellent (at last) last night.

Thewlis kicks ahead far more regularly and is very effective.

Well ...... I'm relieved, my team are now seemingly in SL next year, it's been a tough few weeks but I'm delighted we're there to fight another season and STILL never played out of the top flight.



If I'm honest, i still want blood. I wanted blood since Price was able to fart out of the play offs, walk away on his terms and get a new job. I want blood for whoever is responsible for the last few seasons but certainly this season. Psychological, i think we (or maybe just me?) need a fall guy.



I'm hoping that Darryl (and Gazwire) get to say "told ya" next year because it means it's all been worth it. I dont see it happening if I'm honest, but i genuinely hope we do



annus horribilis and even if we win the next 4 games, nothing can mask over that fact.



I've not liked the comments about the fans coming from the coach and club and I don't think there was a need to have a pop in thanking them last night from Powell, just be grateful the town showed up to drag you over the line.



I still want Toulouse in SL next year so will follow them closely now.

Should Toulouse get the drop, we should sign Olly A-Bott. We are a spine half short. He’d be fantastic at 6,7 or 1.

I’ve been an admirer of him even before his injury at Huddersfield.



Imo his head injury attributed to the ending the Toulouse roll. He was much quieter in the second half because of it.

He and Dufty stood out head and shoulders more talented than anyone else on the field.

I think we will get a pasting from Leeds.



When you look at the speed and energy that Toulouse showed when attacking our defensive line it's very obvious how low in confidence the team are. When we were leading by 8 points in the second half it looked as if it was Toulouse who were the team with their tails up and that we were the beaten side. Add to that a static defensive line that waited for the Toulouse attack and a lightweight pack, and I can't really see us winning any more games.

Fortunately Leeds will be down on players vs Wire. I think they get Siezer back after a successful appeal.

We might make more of a fist of it than getting a battering now the weight of relegation fear, the relaxing of fan anger, adding to a weaker Leeds, all add something in our favour…but I won’t hold my breath.

But yeah W/O, we are still pants in the prop depth department and the above might not be enough to avoid another 30+ dished out.

My kids asked for Mikaele's shirt after the game, he tried to take it off but said he's broken his hand and couldn't get the shirt off, looked in a fair bit of pain.

I'm with Winslade, I think the Leeds game could be VERY messy.



I can understand the reasoning with continuing with Powell next season (though don't agree with it) but I cannot see things getting drastically better. The pack will definitely improve but there are a LOT more deficiencies to contend with that a decent coach could've easily tightened up this season.

It's obvious I've backed Powell, but I do agree with many of the comments against him - he's not been the easiest to back!



I think the blood letting has been taken by releasing the old guard - let's hope we won't have to do this again for at least a long while. Now the pressures off, I'm expecting us to show some signs of encouragement before the season ends, I'd be dissapointed if we didn't. One thing I will say is that our pack still lacks a bit of punch, though Holmes was much better last night and Bullock was excellent. With the arrival of Vaughan and Mcguire, it'll change things much for the better and I believe Philbin will be an asset once more with the help of an improved pack.



I agree also with your comment about Toulouse, would be a shame for them to go down. I can't really understand why we don't increase the size of SL so we could keep Toulouse, Leigh, Widnes and even Bradford who were a big loss imo - Leigh and Widnes have excellent facilities too.



Thank goodness we won, onwards and upwards.
