well played everyone great win. Thought Aydin was terrific tonight but O Connor let it slip we have not re signed him. If true thats a downer on an otherwise great evening

Job all but mathematically done, a 91 point turnaound and Toulouse needing to win all three remaing games should mean we are safe for this year. In itself its something I didn't see happening mid-season. We were in a massive rut with no sign of getting out of it so whatever the change has been for the last 5 games, the coach and players deserve credit.

I had written them off and had made peace in watching Bradford,Halifax, Batley et al.

Clearly there is ability in this squad which makes it all the more frustrating seeing them in this position. Just two wins against Toulouse and we'd be looking at the play offs.

Next year will be even harder, Leigh will be spending big, the league may be shrunk to 10, we can't afford to be off in so many games again.

Murphy wasn't far off five tonight, although I thought the first disallowed try should definitely have been looked at by the VR.

Again not offered a deal or has chosen to go elseware for regular first team opportunities. He's one we should look to keep develop and it would be disappointing to see him go if he does.

Correct...his feet were definitely in the air, so he wasn't in touch and that ball looked very close to the line

And then we have walker who is a loose forward playing from bench as interchange hooker, Bowden who’s a prop playing at loose, yet bowes did a decent job

Ok what do I know about the game - Croft was good hall excellent well done !1

When you saw it only question was - was the ball on line - can’t believe ref didn’t go to screen

Scrappy game but a wins a win. That puts the tin lid on survival, time for the rebuild to avoid being in the situation next year.

The writing was on the wall for Yusif when we sent him to Leeds during a forward crisis at the club.

It’s a mistake to let him go after the development he’s gone through, he’s a 21 year old prop with 20+ SL games under his belt. The best of him is probably 3 years away but he won’t let anyone down in the meantime. As the game gets faster and interchanges fewer and fewer, a powerful prop with above average leg speed will be a huge asset.
