thought we looked a very useful set of players, very warmed by what we saw under the heavy conditions & nice to see us having a go even in a friendly.

Controlled the game from start to finish. Wakey offered very little going forward.
Took it to us for the first 15 mins second half.
The pack was superb.
Solomona is gonna score a ton of tries.
Luke gale my MOM, took the line on every time he had the ball in his hands, pity his kick was poor.
All in all we certainly look far ahead of last year at this time.
I think we are gonna have an enjoyable 2016.

Roberts did ok everybody looked full of it, i thought gale and millington both looked top draw players and as just been said solomana looks certain to be one of the top draw scores next season if he doesn't get injured

We were on top in both attack and defence although i thoght that the ref allowed off side for both sides. Wakie need to be worried if that's the best they have. Everything seems to go through Finn who was their best player and they appear to have very little forward power.
From our point of view we have threats in most areas and i think Gale and Roberts will have a big season,

Cas won 32-6, Solomona scored 4 tries playing about half a game. Gale missed most of the conversions, not that it really mattered. Overall a good performance, we did ease off after going 14-0 up but came back strongly in the 2nd half

That was the the one thing (bar the goal kicking) that frustrated me yesterday in an otherwise good performance, at 14-0 we had them right where we wanted them and then took our foot off there throat and let them back into the game. Its something we did a few time last year and we need to become more ruthless and finish teams off whilst the chance is there. Better teams than wakey will punish us if not.

Not sure we took the foot off the gas. I think the players were blowing a bit after 25 mins. I mentioned this at the game.
Half time was a blessing, we got our 2nd wind and blew them away. Add on the 5 missed goals and the score line would have been 42 which was more like it.

gale seemed to run the show for the first 15 minutes and did pretty well what he wanted. he then seemed to drop out of the game a bit but then dominated the last 20 minutes. i wondered if it was to see iuf the others could organise.

i know rocky got mom against fev but his short spell on sunday impressed me more. very cool head on such youg shoulders and a nice pair of hands. i can see now why he doesn't want to play full back.

A big thank you to whoever handed in my dad's phone to the main office. We think it might have been one of the stewards in the main stand. Thank you once again.

I'd be very surprised if that were the case.

I think Wigan have sent him to us to develop him, and that he's their long term plan at halfback.

I think that if he finds himself moving anywhere other than Wigan in the next 10 years, it'll be the NRL.
