I think Leigh came up against a team who wanted to prove a point today, I am really impressed with the squad already. Great to see Rhys playing again and Sandow was quality today. Shame Hock just seems to want t fight everyone when its not going his way. Good luck next season Leigh.

Westerman looks bigger than ever, is that muscle or pre seaon weight gain?
That hit he put on in the 2nd half was unbelievable, i think it was Hock or Pattison running full tilt at him and he didn't move a millimetre backwards, literally ran into a wall of Westerman.

We have plenty of goal kicking options through the side.
Gidley, Ratchford, Sandow, Westerman all decent goal kickers even Bennie.

The main thing with me though is the attitude looks better, they look fresh, they look happy, the look together as a unit.

I've got admit that on last season's showing I thought we'd made a bad move in buying Sandow. However having now seen what he can really deliver I'm both relieved and excited about the coming season.If yesterday's performance is anything to go by then we're in for a cracker.

Where did Westy play? 13 or 2nd row?

Last season at Hull we used him as a ball-handling 13, and I don't think it really worked, we looked a lot more fluid at the weekend without him there. I always thought he played his best rugby for us as a 2nd rower out wide. Defensively he's decent and get's through a ton of work.

Looking forward to seeing Gidley - see you at Easter.

Westerman came on to replace Westwood at Loose Forward, and did a lot better in that position than Westwood. I think Ben looked at bit lost, and confused at 13.

I think Westerman put on a good pass that led to a break and try. He's got all the potential to get back to his best form.
