Here are the thoughts of the boss from each of those, shared with Dave Parkinson. First, V Keighley: our contact was good, it was aggressive. We applaud the defence. DP: Paul, good to get back on the winners road but probably a game We set some targets defensively and we achieved them. In the modern era to that won't linger long in the memory? get a nil score-line is a pretty remarkable achievement. ........................................................................................... PR: No but, 30-nil and that's the important bit and the fact you take the fact that we had Ridyard, Brierley and McNally unable to train with us all week, v Rochdale then you are going to be lacking some fluency in attack. I think that's the easy DP: Last time out was a case for the defence - this was certainly a bit to fix up. case for the attack? I think when you are getting towards play-off football, you've got to be PR: It was a good all round performance to be fair. I think in every facet we challenging your defence and asking questions, checking the mentality you were good and even the points that they got, they got two ugly tries in the have within your dressing room. On that one we got a 10 out of 10. I thought second half and two where they lived off scraps in the first. But even at 12-nil we were pretty unforgiving at times. Defensively we were outstanding. We were down we'd made four clean breaks. It was all the stuff we'd identified too, to very aggressive and dominating so we can take a lot of positives from that. be fair so it showed that we'd got our home work right, that was pleasing. Like you said, probably from a match rating it wasn't the best but a 30-nil We spoke that we'd work hard on our attack and structures. The skill level was score-line is great, defence was good and the attack lacked fluency with some very, very high. We trained really well and we played really well.
