I was really pleased with the young lads again last night, Shorrocks, Smithies and Havard in particular all had top games, their work rate is superb. They need to tidy up a few of the "soft" penalties but I expect that will come with experience. Disagree with Harvard, made a few mistakes ...

Ugly as sin and won't stay in the memory long but I've seen us lose games like that in the past, so a win is good to have. Looks like poor discipline is here to stay so we'll have to put up with it.

Hankinson would not be missing them!!
It's no coincidence that Hank put pressure on Zac, which actually improved his goal kicking

Give up on Hankinson. He isn’t good enough.

Tommy?

What’s he done.

Our kicking game is diabolical

Not a bad shout French on the wing! Hanley could be one for the future, but still has a fair distance to go yet IMO. Be interesting to see how Eastmond goes tonight. Not seen anything from Hanley yet that suggests he is one for the future. Albeit he has had a very limited run of games and has had m...

Absolutely!
