Gleeson was really impressive. Came on for Mossop in the 2nd half and made a great debut; he was lightning quick from dummy half and made break after break. Lets just hope hes not as injury prone as some suggest

Pleased with our defence today and I think this year it has to be our defence that wins us games as we have lost a hell of a lot in attack class wise, Gleeson, Holroyd, Brannigan, Royston, Tamghart, thats a big chunk of our attack gone, if anything I'd like to have seen us create a few more breaks and gaps in the 2 games we have played but I still think we look rusty and we have had a big turnaround in playing staff, maybe the most of the top clubs so it will take time, just hope our attack hasnt suffered too much with the losses.

Bowman needs regular rugby if he is going to progress. If hes not going to start he needs to be loaned out.

Cherryholmes Loan at the start of last season was a great move for him, he came back a better and more confident player having had a run of first team rugby

Spot on, it did bug me why they didnt do this last season, he needs weekly gametime, we know he's a talent but we might be sitting on a real gem here and wont know until he's tested for 80 minutes each week.

I would not have thought they need loanimg out anywhere that is the point of having the new Under 23s , they are also allowed to play 3 players over the age for the purpose of bringing players back to fitness etc.
