We've just watched the whole game and personally I think the criticism of Atoni is unfair...he made good metres with virtually every carry and got through plenty of work. The wife even said that she would have given him man of the match

Thought Uele was very good too.

Agreed, as was Cozza

Personally thought both were poor first spell. Intensity ramped up when they were rotated.

When they returned Atoni was very good, Cozza though fairly average for me.

Strange how fans see different things but thought Cozza was busy and Uele went well. That said with Cozza he looks more of a 13 than a prop looking at his style of play.

Thought Tommy Doyle was really good too. Vagana looks really good pedigree

Have to agree he looked good and more athletic than I imagined. Can’t help but wonder if he’d make a cracking wide runner in second row with that frame of his. Looking forward to seeing the likes of him and Boothroyd develop. Boothroyd looks as tough as nails.

To be honest with Bain still to come in (and I believe he’s got a good offload in him) we have a cracking set of forwards this year.

Very exciting.

Interesting interview with DP on our YouTube channel, in which he talks about the Siddal game, injuries and a little bit about the Newcastle game

Seems the McGillvray injury is worse than first feared. Hopefully it’s weeks and not months.

Other than that Bowden good to go and Vagana may be ok this week (I‘d swap Boothroyd in tbh).

Nothing too concerning. Wonder who will get the nod on wing with Croft playing well there last week.

Has Mason Lino been suspended , I've not seen or heard anything since his sending off on Saturday ?

Todays interview doesn’t seem like there’s been any contact regards it so club are waiting I suspect. Looking at video I can’t see anything. If anything it should have been a Trinity penalty for Thornley getting a smack on the head which set it all off (not the first tap but the Siddal player who ran in and whacked him on back of head hard).
