Still a few things to moan about, why did LMS have to go centre when Turner could have gone there with Wilkin at stand off. We did play with a lot of freedom in the first half with more passes in the first 10 mins than what we normally do in a whole match, don't know what KC said at half time but we restarted as per the norm barging up the middle. Wakefield were the worse super league team I have seen for many years, we should have put more points on in the second half, Widnes or Warrington would have kept there foot on the gas and got 60 to 70 points.

Leeds next week who are struggling in the halves and the opposition are wrapping up Cuthbertson to stop his offloads, will KC put this in his game plan next week or will he think the way forward is an arm wrestle, we've got 3 important games now which will shape us up for the remaining season.

The real test is Leeds. They're not the same side which won the GF last year, but they're still capable of putting up a decent show for long periods. I think that'll be a better test of where we are. A good win and I think a lot of the criticism off the back of Salford and the Aussies will subside.

I didn't go to saints so I watched the Wigan v Leeds game and Leeds were awful. We should beat Leeds as comfortably as Wigan did last night.

The one I am worried about - and always fear if I'm being honest - is Wigan on good Friday. I can't remember the last time we showed up in that fixture. If we beat them in a couple of weeks I think that will really lift the team and the fans.

I don't think I've seen a super league as unfit as Wakey was last night. They all looked fat, slow and unfit.

Does anybody know what the spat was about with big Alex when he was brought off in the last 15mins, wasn't a happy bunny at all, body language said it all and he looked as though he was giving the verbals when he got to the bench. Could this be the frustration of the players showing through.

Leeds kept Wigan out for a long time, but Wigan have some good young players who kept at it and broke them, the new Aussie hooker looked he may develop first full match debut after injury in friendly, not convinced it will be a walk over next week!

That was the right decision, in my book. Better to swap your centre than have to reorganise your half back partnership in the first 5 minutes of a game. LMS had a decent game at centre, too.

But JT is playing like a backrow than a 6 tho. He's never a 6 as long as he lives. He just fits into KC philosophy of driving it up.

He's not a real 6, but he does offer a running threat which we desperately lack when we have a Walsh/Burns or Walsh/Wilkin partnership.

But is he a threat ? I don't see him making breaks. He's playing like a backrow.

He's more of a running threat out wide at centre, I'm assuming KC has him at 6 because of his defensive weakness which doesn't show up as much hiding behind the "middles pack". With both Swift and Percival out for a spell, Turner needs to go back at centre with Wilkin or Fages working alongside Walsh.
