| Quote carl_spackler="carl_spackler"Another game of progress, pretty pleased with how our season is unfolding.
On saying that, we played for 30 minutes in the first half and 20 in the second. Whilst we played well for those spells, I’m a bit disappointed at the way we took our foot off the pedal. Don't think we handled the break in play well, it spoilt our rhythm but we shouldn't let that happen. Hope Gentle's not happy about it, either.
I always think there's a bit of difficulty in commenting on how players have performed in blowout games like that, as in all honesty as well as we played for most of the match, Widnes were equally awful. The first 2 tries were well worked from us, but the next 2 showed up some terrible defence from them, and that was the case all day. Some standouts for me were Lynch again, obviously Tickle, I thought Bowden did well in a decent-sized stint, Sharp had another good game, we saw a typical Houghton display for 60 minutes (Heremaia can't get fit quick enough IMO), and McKinnon was possibly the best of the lot. Seymour also looks better with every game to me, which is to be expected, even if it's happening slightly slower than we'd hope.
Mainly positives, but a particularly annoying negative with the way we fell away. We played some good stuff and racked up a score though, so maybe I'm just being a [ugrumpy bugger[/u.'"
no surely not???
you forgot to mention another solid outing from Jordan Turner mate!!! or doesnt playing Widnes count?

| I thought the forwards were superb , There definitely laying the foundations for the halves to work behind. As said by other posters above , The only blip on that performance was the last 10 minutes.

I said before the game that even if he played well 1 more match is a step in the right direction but not proof he's the answer. I thought he did little wrong but couldn't particularly impress because the opposition didn't really test him. That's not a criticism as I thought all of the 3/4's were in the same boat, I only mentioned Sharp because he took a couple of kicks well, returned them impressively, and produced a lovely jump and knock back for Whiting's try.
I've always said Turner is very good going forward, and that's pretty much all he had to do yesterday, so I learnt nothing new. Having said that both tries did happen to come down his side. I haven't seen the highlights yet and I sit in the South West corner, pretty much as far away from them as possible, so I'm not blaming him for them, just pointing something out.

Would you believe it. Its also the side that Tom Briscoe plays but I notice you haven't drawn him into this conversation.

Listening to Gentle in his post match interview he did mention that although they did some good stuff and executed some of the plays they have been working on picked up on the fact we only played for 60 mins and said he wasn't happy with that but can understand why they did but will work on that.
The more I hear from Gentle after the games the more impressed I am with him as a Coach.

I didn't draw Turner into it, I was specifically asked about him. Seeing as you ask, I didn't think Briscoe got involved as much as usual, but then popped up with his poaching instinct to take his try.

I'm really liking how he's going about his business. Building our team and performances in the right way and just seeming to talk nothing but sense.

He is following on from Swain and Fitzgibbon in being our 'engine room' you feel that when he plays well (not that he has many off days) the team will play well.
I thought all the forwards were superb and really laid a platform for the backs.
yes it got sloppy in the last 10mins, but as others have already mentioned the long break for Briscoe's injury took the momentum out of us, and the players are human...when you are so far ahead you aren't going to risk getting injured or getting sent off.

I thought Lynch showed more then just an engine yesterday. His passes were essential to a fair few of our tries.

I thought in the 2nd half Lynchy had decided he'd be a winger when he made the break down the touchline lol
