Well done for backing the team and showing your support.
Hopefully this will mean a bigger away crowd next week. I am the 1st to admit that I wasn't prepared to travel to see that shower.

There is still a lot of hard work to come, but if you recorded the match, you will see a team in the dressing room at the end and not a group of individuals.

I saw Mrs C briefly as the camera panned round our supporters.

Great, vocal support.

Great atmosphere...we kept singing even through that dire first half...but got REALLY noisy in the second - not sure how much of the noise will have come over on TV.

Much better performance from the lads...crucially we could see the difference in their body language, even at 22-6 down. I felt O'Loughlin acted much more like a captain today, rallying the players.
Improvements in attitude from a lot of the players that have been copping criticism recently, especially DV (apart from one horrible missed tackle).

Only 3k attendance, though? Looked like more to me.

Have I misread that? DV showing an improvment? He was pathetic as per usual, he was his usual self missing tackles that cost us tries, shirt grabbing and running to nowhere. If one player does not deserve to wear the Cherry and White it is him. He makes no effort, look how lethargic he plods about that pitch, it disgusts me at times, especially in that first half today. The second wasn't much better with the exception of falling over the line for his try.

As for O'Loughlin, I thought he shouted more than in past weeks but I felt Fletcher lead the team and I was really impressed by Moran's support play and enthusiasm with ball in hand.

Geoff the only person who got the players motivated was Fletcher he was rallying the lads right in front of us while O'loughlin drank out of a water bottle.Shaun needs to concentrate on his own game and give the captincy to Fletch as for DV he was abmismal missing the smallest player on the pitch in Sam Obst for one try and missing various others.
