Definitely, reminded me of the Wardle situation with Ablett... but obviously legal. I thought to myself that we were starting to see Oli really develop into a man and a top SL player.

Credit to Darnell too he's returning the ball really strong, I think Wing is his best position

great to get the win and secure top 8 in the process, not the best performance but who cares!!!

amazing turnaround from the giants and rick stone

Didn't understand the penalty he gave against us for stripping 1 on 1. No other Giants player was anywhere near and we stripped the ball backwards so why the penalty against us for stripping? Weird

that was a very strange one!

Think that Rankin's future at club will depend on the Ridyard situation and whether we can make his move permanent or not,from memory his best position at Hull was full back

I think part of the Rankin signing was because the club new Mamo was going to be out for the season.

Ive been really impressed with Rankin and he is much better than Darnell and Gaskell at FB in my view, doesn't mess about and returns the ball hard. I hope we sign him long term to play half back for next season.

Darnell is progressing nicely on the wing atm and nearly made a couple of decent breaks last night, once he fills out and gains some extra strength he will be a great player.
