Definitely a below par performance but still a comfortable win against a hard running team with some pace about them. Is there room for improvement-certainly- not least in cutting out ridiculous mistakes like letting there restart bounce over the in goal. An obvious worry us should Joe Mellor get injured but we are beating decent teams well without yet hitting top gear over a full 80 minutes.

I think if Joe Mellor was injured ,maybe Hingano could replace him , I think he has promise , as you say the letting the bounce go dead was a mistake , the same p,Ayer missed the tackle for Thunders last try , but these things happen , a below par performance , but we still won , I like Reynolds link up with Nene they seem to be getting used to each other .

Wish we'd had a no fly zone in the second half as they were a threat aerially. Sure the North Stand was warm in the pre-spring, early KO sunshine but said sunshine led to mis-trackings of the ball when it was on high and to opportunities for 'Castle.

First half, yes Nene's try came from a trademark catch, roll and shove after a ball was lofted by Ben but on two prior occasions when in a position to contest high balls he seemed to be more concerned with pushing oppo players away from "Ground Zero" to the benefit of the Geordie catcher.

Bongser just didn't get that at all.
