Conditions were nowhere near as bad as last time but we were worse with not being square, offside and losing the ball.

Shocking again and one wonders when the guys are going to get the message and make the game a whole lot easier for themselves.

Far from convincing but a win is a win . Fev more or less played a man down for last 20 mins . Walmsley took his tries v well ! Thought Jowitt was outstanding again .

Know it wouldn't have made any difference as it occurred in the last 10 minutes but for me Fev's second yellow card should have been a straight red as the guy clearly deliberately swung his arm straight into Max's head

Walmsley took his tries well. There was quite a lot of work to do for the 1st two scores that you couldn't appreciate from the other end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LykZd7HPcks

It was tuff but a good win, just listened to DP post match interview, when asked about KY Rodwell he said he did fine & that KY said he had Never played in a game like that before ! I suppose in Aus there never will be. ??????

Seen far too many of these types of games over the years end in defeat , set off dominated and build a decent lead only to be clawed back and end up in an arm wrestle which didn’t usually didn’t end well for us . Certainly a tough part of the field to get out of when you are running the ball out from under your own end in that second period , aided n abetted by silly mistakes and penalties , which killed off any sort of momentum for us . Not pretty but a win is a win . Funny how I expected the game to be played right in front of us in that second half but got bogged down at the far end for far too long a period ,which some credit has to go to Fev as they were like a dig with a bone .Lots to work on especially our discipline , but a win is a win no matter how ugly and Walmsley gave us fans something to cheer about with his trio of tries which saved our blushes and take the points .

Must have been horrible in second half coming up hill in driving and freezing rain.
Toughed it out well.

To be fair we had the wind and driving rain behind us in the second half it could have been much worse if the elements were with the slope!

Well we've started the season with two games against club's who are expected to be in the mix at the top of this league , we've won them both and scored 62 points without really putting in a solid 80 minute performance .

We've produced some quality play , the left edge is pretty formidable with the middle unit not taking a step back and doing the hard yards very well we just need to tidy up on the errors and figure out getting that right edge to be a little more productive .

These are pretty decent problems to have and I feel we've the best of this season yet to come .

Agree with all of that. One thing I would add, whilst we need to tweek the right edge attacking wise, defensively it's the best side. Our left edge was our weak side defensively last night but Powell recognises that in his interview
