[quote="Ellam":2l6fdjok]Westerman done well but big step up at the moment think some of these younger players like him and Kemp will get drip fed in and out of the team this season barring a massive injury crisis.[/quote:2l6fdjok] One thing that really does look apparent so far this year is that the all the young lads actually look physically bigger / more prepared than we have seen previously with young players coming up. Would seem alot of work & attention has really been put in to their conditioning.

Great unexpected win, 1-17 brilliant, so much fitter and organised than last season. Standouts for me were Rapana, Bourouh, Cust and Asiata. Thought Lane was much improved on last season too, looks to have bulked up a bit...Briscoe didn't look out of place as a centre. Still bits to work on, can't be giving that many penalties away v Wigan next week. McNamara needs to improve things and quickly, can't see Guash having much patience with him. Pangai jr looked overweight and Garcia is wasted at 9.

Great to see Thrikhill enjoying the post match Old Faithful too

[quote="Faithful One":cknp1le6]4 or 5 of those penalties must have been in the first 20 mins. Really impressive performance and hopefully we can back it up again with another performance next week[/quote:cknp1le6] There were also a couple that weren't really discipline related, such as the offside that we challenged. Just a bit unlucky there. And both the Rapana knees on Makinson and the Barron push in goal were really soft. Sao had a bit of a reactive grab when he was wrong footed, but it wasn't bad one, typical forward tackling a back sort of penalty. That and Cust speaking out of turn were the disappointing ones. Apart from that I thought discipline was fine.

But then again if Cas have genuinely improved tonight then there are no easy games (barring the face about Salford tomorrow)

Anyone know what the weathers like in Manchester in October? What a game
