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

[quote="Ellam":9l5thqbb]Are we allowed to be positive or will we be shot down, just going to read through the comments then I'll see if I can be positive.[/quote:9l5thqbb] You can be if it's guarded. If we get half a dozen games in and have 3 wins on the board that's the time to start being more positive. There were even some wins under tony smith believe it or not

Enjoy every moment, too many dark days recently, to be fair about from a mick taking on social media I haven't seen anyone going mad with predictions after last night's result. Still going to be a tough season, but we do seem to moving in the right direction.

Right my take, everyone stood up and put their bodies on the line, defence fantastic(all hail Lasty), team spirit the like of Hardaker and Rapana hugging Barron and Martin when they did something well was great to see it's what these young lads needed after last season(masterstroke Richie), Spine was massive Rapana quality always makes yards, Cust very good, Sezer amazing what you can do with a kicking game, Amir good at hooker loved Mint but what a difference at hooker with good ball and pace, Asiata warrior and moves our team around the pitch. Only one game but we've waited nearly 18 months for this so let's enjoy. Negatives Jed's hammy hopefully just a minor and a few weeks. Hopefully Amir pass protocols to play against Wigan. Holmes hopefully play to replace Jed and that be my only change. Final point someone's gone MIA amazing that isn't it he be gutted.

Burough failed his hia so will definitely miss the wigan game

It was great to see some effort, mental steel and commitment to the cause. Alot has being made about our recruitment but I think it showed last night we have signed players who will fight for every ball and put there body on the line. The little things we have taken for granted that we havent had for so long. Asiata presuring the kicker, Hardaker being switched on at a shirt kick off and half backs that can defend. Martin and Barron looked like different players with more experience around them. For me win or lose, show that same intensity every week and Ill be happy. We will have stronger challenges, its round 1 and despite what most are predicting I dont see Catalans as a top 6 team. But for far too long games like last night we would have lost. Step in the right direction, but if last night is anything to go by we are far away from the team you just have to turn up to beat.
