Great game tonight!
Hard to pick one player as the whole lot stood up and contributed.

Best game Merrick has played all season
Saili looked like the player we all heard about
Glynn and Ward stepped up
DomBrandt is finding his feet
Marchant and Earle they’re usual effervescent selves
Chisholm everywhere and great to see Clifford back

Even Luamanu looked interested, when he came on.


Great stuff!

JK was a TV pundit this evening

Yeah Great win indeed. Could'nt make the game but was a superb watch on BT Sport. John Kingston came across as a very enthusiastic & knowledgable analyst, & spoke very fluently. Can see BT giving him more work.   

Could Saili and Marchant be the new JTH and G-lowe? Hope so.

Is Murley an academy promotion or is he from elsewhere?

Joined the academy at the start of last season , but was in EPDG group and in our Under 18s with Marcus Smith before that .

Could Saili and Marchant be the new JTH and G-lowe? Hope so.

I think that the pair of them plus Taps give us decent starting options at 12 & 13, and Lasike gives us some real grunt when we need it (against French teams for example).

Got to say that Dombrant looks like he could be our best signing this season, though. For a young gun, he's been impressive, and if he can develop his skills further, he'll be a real key player.

Can’t agree about milking penalties. If you are offside and preventing a pass it’s a penalty. If you roll into the SH and knock him over it’s a penalty. If you prevent the ball from coming out of a ruck it’s a penalty. Why would you think it shouldn’t be .

Apart from the excellent performance and 5 points the pleasing thing for me was to see the way the boys improved their attacking game after the disappointment of Worcester. We spent last week running all evening into a committed brick wall and didn't bring much variation to our game. Last night, Browny and Danny in particular, used grubber kicks to great effect and it brought better variation to our attack against a very good defensive team. I'm a big fan of grubber kicks! Nev was the man for that.

As for the Dominator, considering that was only his 3rd premiership start (i think), he "looked to the manor born". So good to see him hitting the line at such pace, his timing and running lines always ask questions of the defence. I think that is a real skill but he seems to be a natural at it.

Wardy - his arrows were on the money all night and he did a full 80 minute shift at the coalface.
