Quite enjoyed watching the Trophy game. Good showing with a young team out. Goma impressive at LCB. Strong/aggressive & calm on the ball. Some nice moments from Leach. Hedges a threat, so unlucky not to score. Wanted to see more from Nelson. Simmonds needs to start stepping up.

The #RFL will have to do better in the marketing, the selling of their own product. “That’s the way they generate money. They’ve got to be the masters of their own destiny in a lot of regards. And I think they’re letting the ball pass them by on too many occasions.”
