Coach quotes

Looking ahead to Thursday’s game, Matt Peet said: “I think they’ve shown since Danny [McGuire] took over there that the things they have brought to performances in energy and enthusiasm. In some ways, you could say it’s a similar challenge with a team full of athletic ability and a powerful backline who will come and challenge you in key departments if you’re in any way off in the energy battle.

“I think Ryan Hall and Shaun Kenny-Dowall on that left edge are two experienced players who have got speed and power, they get them rolling forward and they’re such threats.”

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
