Well, obviously not the result we wanted. But I genuinely think there were some great positives to take from the game and news released recently from the club.

1. Natoli was brilliant. He for sure is going to add some flare to our attack. I think he will only get better over the coming weeks.

2. Oli Leyland has been doing well, I thought his kicking game was good, splitting the opposition at the back and just generally looks pretty threatening with the ball in hand.

3. Butler off the bench. It was nice to see him coming on and making some impact with decent carries and couple of big shots. I thought he looked bigger and appeared to be the more dominant like prop that we saw from him in 2019. Pretty big minutes too.

4. Bienik potentially back for next week. Could be the first time we see our 8 and 10 play together this season! If Bienik does play, I’m sure he’ll be wanting to prove a point to Hull….

5. Was good to see Sid back. Again, another physical player who can contribute to that physicality and size we’ve been missing.

6. We see it week in, week out - the boys just don’t give up. It’s not easy losing every week but they just don’t throw in the towel at all.

All reasons to be excited and hopeful for future games and definitely the second half of the season.

If we can improve defence out on the edges in particular, reduce that missed tackle count, reduce the amount of time it takes for us to settle into a game and get someone in that squad to kick conversions (I know poor Oli is doing his best) we could really start to hold our own in this league.

I don’t know, maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but I don’t think we can write-off this season just yet….


Chuck in Parata and Waine and we've suddenly got passable forwards. Time to worry about the 3/4s of course. To me they look outclassed, maybe Miloudi apart.

All of this makes for good 'what ifs'. Hull A Salford H Huddersfield H didn't need much to have turned the balance...
