| Big Mike was my MOTM after the game, just.
Looking at the stats reinforces how much work the back row got through as a unit, Pitts, and Storton were very impressive as always and Croft showed what he's about, which is great to see moving forward, he really could have found a place into the top 21 players with a move to back row. Without their work, we'd have struggled imo.
Our bench props played just 18 and 10 minutes, which suggests if we hadn't lost Rodwell and Atoni, they wouldn't have been chosen and would still be a week or so away from being fully ready. With Vagana having hardly any pre-season and Caius just arriving in the country last week, but we managed. With the sin-binning and other factors, it made it quite tricky for DP to organise the sub-rotation at the times he'd have preferred, but we overcame that challenge.
Matty Russell carried really well, he's a great addition, as did TJ. Both Lino and Trueman did boss things off the back of the forwards and were very quick to get the ball to each flank, which was great to watch. Lino's looked sharp all pre-season and Trueman has shown up well but it was really pleasing to see them carry that on into an SL game with the extra pressure and Trueman really showing what a class player he is when fit. You'd have thought they'd have been playing together for years watching that.
Doyle and Russell came on and did their thing, both made good tackles and Doyle made some meters as well. Last but not least both centres Hall and Pratt had good games, a little more came down Hall's side than Pratts's but for his age Pratt juist continues to grow and grow and any thoughts about his size or lack of experience at this level have proved silly.
The defence as a whole seems to have moved up another level this year, our back row and hookers are excellent defensively and the left and right shut down any attack that seems to come their way, although we'll face better attacking teams as the season goes on but we look well drilled and very fit.
It's gonna be interesting when we have our full set of top 21 to pick from or at least most of them.

| The number of times I heard the commentator refer to "Jake Connor", I was thinking that three-quarters of the Whinos team must have been called that.

All 3 are equally deplorable, couldn’t imagine any of them getting anywhere near the rhinos team of old. They had Bailey who was a bell, but he actually served a purpose and his multiple grand final rings pay testament to that.
