I agree to the above, with the exception about Jon Ford, he just does not look Super League to me, I hope to be proved wrong, but;

It was hard to gauge just how good we were yesterday, but the first half hour looked very impressive, it did get scrappy with the constant substitutions. I thought everyone performed well, as far as Jon ford is concerned I think he's a good player. Although probably hasn't done enough to stop the next group of youngsters taking his place. Handy to have in the squad this year but the likes of England, McGrath and Bibby will probably take his place in the squad next year. Not forgetting Patterson and gee can both play centre, so doesn't look good this year either.

Chase was awsome yesterday.How many did he score? Locke seems to have lost a lot of weight and was good on the ball again. Josh Griffin was strong going forward. I dunno if the ref was bad but we seem to give a lot of penalty's away especially in the second half so that could be a worrying thing. Hock again was brilliant. Happy with everything yesterday. Bring on the 7th Feb

Its hard to gauge how well we played against a poor Swinton team, but the likes of Hock, Hansen, Locke and Chase all looked great. Lets hope they can produce when it matters.

I agree the real measurement of progress will be the performances against Warrington and Saints, two teams that comprehensively blew us away last year.
