The win was as much for the character of the team as the skills we've shown over the last three months. |
They've not been beaten here and we're highly delighted with the result. Our form is pretty good and the boys are talking about improving as well. |
We could probably have seven or eight players that aren't in there for various reasons but we go with what we've got and what we've got is pretty good. |
We didn't help ourselves with that many penalties. If you give field position to this team, it's hard work. It's not the first time this has happened to us but we're not too despondent. It was one of those nights and we will learn from it. |
We felt that we needed to strengthen the squad ahead. We are getting a player who can cover all the outside back positions and who has a wealth of Super League experience behind him. |
We talked about the attitude not being on the mark last week and being determined to get back to where we started the season at. I thought we looked strong with the ball and defensively we were really strong. |
We were a bit below par by our standards and I can only put that down to last week's game which took more out of us than I thought. |
We're still good friends. You don't start driving round to his house and planting stink bombs in his front garden. |
We've got 24 or 25 very exciting players and some people still knocking on the door, |
We've got a few 50-50s. |
Well, he's huge, he's a good player, |
Whilst we have individuals that do very well it is a team effort and we will share that trophy. |
You don't want your best players missing in an international tournament, but we've had to cope with that over the years and it's another one we've got to cope with this year. |
