He seems to be able to do what he wants. They can keep him out there hobbling for all I care.

Very impressed with Wakefield, they struggled for metres at times, but loved the way they got of trouble by taking risks.


Jowett is massively improv always thought he was decent but really played well this season, was brilliant today.


Warrington very poor, only threat is Williams with Dufty, if you can stop him, you stop Warrington.

Warrington look like a disorganised, poorly coached team. For all of their money, the squad is poor imo

Their quota usage is criminal. Tai, Russell, Musgrove all poor signings 

I'm far form convinced about burgess' coaching abilities

So far, the only team that you can unequivocally say is much better than us is Wigan. In time we will probably be able to add Rovers to that list, but they've only really put in one strong performance so far (I'm not counting the Salford game, playing Salford is as good as a bye at the moment). Warrington look like they've regressed badly. St Helens have only played one strong opponent and fell a long way short. Leigh are going well, but we showed the other night that we have no need to fear them. Catalans and Leeds are inconsistent, and don't look particularly good even in their better performances. Wakefield look decent, but still have plenty to prove as a newly promoted team. Huddersfield have looked ok in spells but they seem averse to winning and are already 5 points behind us. Salford are a car crash who might not last the season, and Cas would be nailed on to finish last if it wasn't for Salford.

I'm not saying we will finish top 6, or even that we should. But at this moment in time it looks very doable and I would be disappointed if the team are willing to settle for anything less.
