Great opening day. Discuss......

Very encouraging start.

[Blackpool Hawk]

Superb performance, best ive seen us for many a year, dominated from start to finish, so many positives from today. Lets not forget we lost Grimmer for 40 mins and Helliwell, if we had kept them on we could have had a hatful, defence was superb, hard to pick out players when 1-17 were terrific, Kainy was excellent at fullback, Welham and Keinhorst are going to terrorise defences out wide, Keinhorst looks a class above this level, his feet are superb, Grimmer was class when he was on, controlling things, Marchy got the MOM upstairs, thought he was terrific, the pack had a great game, with Yates and Oakes standing out, Haighy played well, and Hood is going to give us such and edge in this division, only downside was the missed conversions, but Marchy kicked 3 from 3 so lets hope he takes the duties! Barrow looked good at times, broke our line on a couple of occasions but on the whole our defence was superb! Absolutely buzzing from the win and the performance, we haven't had a win like this for a long time so lets enjoy it! SO WE SHALL AGAIN

Brilliant performance from every Hunslet player today.

I've never seen so many Hunslet supporters cheering for Rhino's lol.

[morty]

Can I ask how many Rhinos players you had in your 17 ?

[Penola]

2. Hood and Kleinhorst

[morty]

[Penola]

Good luck to Barrow and a good following

Welham is potentially a far better player then his brother kris, only difference is Liam has only been coached on a part time basis were as kris has been on full time. Liam has more about him more aggression & a better rugby brain. Hope he has a good season for you guys then I'd like to see a superleague club give him a shot on full time basis he would relish it and also would certainly excel!! Good win

[Piggy's mate]

Does hunslet have as many points now after the first game as they finished with last season?

[Penola]

Heard Piggys mate have a mention Radio Leeds today

[biggalouigi]

fantastic performance today , defence was solid , forwards made good yardage and we were more creative near try line ,could of been more points on the board but still a great start. very impressed with keinhorst kain and oakes to name but 3.

[Castleford Hawk]

Great performance today. The lads played with so much confidence and were happy to throw the ball about and try things, something that was missing last season. The defence was awesome.

I can't wait for the next match. Buzzing.

[Mycoe For Knighthood]

Enjoyed that this afternoon. Not perfect - there were a few too many daft errors for that - but we had far too much for a rather under-equipped looking Barrow side.

Everyone made a worthwhile contribution but a special mention for all six who played in the front row - which is one area where I have concerns - who totally dominated their counterparts and set the platform for this win.

Didn't take long for the half-back injury hoodoo to reappear; both six and seven had gone off the field after 45 minutes! The fact that Grimmer was able to come back on towards the end hopefully means his was nothing too serious but the look of Helliwell as he was helped from the pitch suggests we might have somebody else in the no7 shirt next week.

Tough one at Leigh next week, but it's not within the realms of fantasy that we could pick something up over there on this form ... but we'll have to cut out those silly mistakes.

Well done to all concerned on getting the season of to a flying start

The Lad was very sore this morning hawkwinbag got his knee strapped and will have to see the Doc Tuesday night felt it go when he was tackling just hoping its a minor tare should know more on Tuesday.

Hope grimmer is ok after yesterday fingers crossed for him. Also congrats on your big win yesterday.

Would be a massive blow to lose Grimmer after only one game, fingers crossed!!

[FRISKY FILLY]

Grimmer scored 2 good tries-- the second one on only one leg.
