A really good performance all round, Hull didn't cave in they were just beaten by a much better side playing pretty much at their best. Agree about Walters - something like the player we signed.

As for Sky+. A shambles. To get a decent picture we had to switch off all tablets and associated bits and couldn't listen to Joe Mills and Bilkp because they were at least 4 plays ahead of the TV action.
Get it sorted Sky - this is meant to be a breakout season for RL.

I had the same experience as SS. I thought this would be an opportunity to listen to Joe and Bilko on my laptop, with the volume turned down on the TV, but that was soon jinxed by the time lag. SkySports+ seems to aim to give the absolute minimum: you get the game, and that's about it. Very perfunctory.

I thought we might find that game as difficult as we have done in previous seasons. We always seemed to struggle to play to our usual standards but last night we definitely did.

I was impressed with the intent from our forwards and how strong they carried the ball. It definitely laid the platform and allowed the attack to flourish. Some of the tries we scored were really well worked. The Jake Wardle try and the try direct from the scrum were highlights.

Field and French were influential without being at their best which bodes well for later in the year when they're fully up to speed. Liam Marshall has had an outstanding start to the year despite not scoring yet. His effort last week was phenomenal and this week he showed how effective he is when putting in those kicks back in field which are harder than he makes them look.

I was also glad that Walters got an opportunity to play as he had a really good game and showed why it's a waste when he's 18th man.

Starved on any internet (thanks virgin media utter shambles) add that to my mobile signal bing not fit for purpose it’s been a fraught few days only found out the score Saturday everything in ,y house relies on the internet my god how easy it is to get sucked in give an old fashioned wireless.

Sky sports + isn’t fit for purpose it’s been 9 months now it needs sorting last weekend was unwatchable at times.

Seems big Sam had a good game which is good to see he offers something different it’s time to unleash it.
