Very happy with that performance today. Despite some apprehension with some spine moves it turned out looking very fluid and dangerous today. Clearly there’s been work done on this front. Happy to see it continue if we link up like that. 


1-17 though were fantastic today. 


I think I’ve seen enough now that Croft has become a very competent second row snd looks to be steadily improving. I think it’s time to start thinking about a new contract for him. 


Cozza lays the game very similar to Pitts. Great pair of hands and very busy in defence and attack. Pitts looks like he could go round another season but him and Cozza at 13 looks very good. Cozza could be the new Pitts when he’s ready to hang his boots up. 


Just very impressed with the whole team to be honest. 

As I have said ,if Truman had been here a year and played a lot of matches ,could agree with you , Interesting point about Hood and speed, late on in the match we did a move from the scrum were Lino left the ball behind the scrum and Jowitt picked the ball up and ran in the other direction and it looked good We did the same move with Hood and it got shut down fast Not having a go Hood, been up there with the best all season .Would just like to see the same move with Smith ,18 year old and just getting better and better

Yes, the West Stand was pretty sparce, poor following from Wire really but I guess a few will be saving their pennies for Wembley.I would imagine it will be a similar attendance this Sunday.

Only disappointing element of the game, the way things are going we should be pushing capacity without worrying about the travelling numbers.


Maybe a deal with it being half term to get all primary school children in for free. 

A fabulous team performance, I'm really looking forward to see how good this team can become.

One thing that stood out to me was the stop/start of the first half, it must have gone on for nearly an hour, no wonder a little concentration lasped.


Second half I don't remember many stoppages and the rugby flowed.


Something has to be done about the time the VR and CC are taking  they are taking all the Intensity out of the game.
