[quote="terry silver":2dskiyn8]For a friendly i enjoyed that, we played with intent with and without the ball making plenty of metres every set while restricting Keighley's. Rolling just the 1 sub for about a hour before Restall came on for the last 20, we look fit and unlike us we did the basics well we Just need some extra bodies now.[/quote:2dskiyn8] Yep agree with that assessment. For a first game, it was good to see us have some good shape in both attack and defence, everybody seemed to know their role and where they should be for each play. Not having the numerous subs you normally get in a friendly helped us keep that consistency throughout the game without a load of chopping and changing. But yes we need more bodies, as shown yesterday, 3 suspensions and 2 injuries and we can't field a full 17.

Are the suspensions served or were any more than one game ?

Trying to factor in the number of games deducted whilst they were still at their previous clubs Maccarron and Graham could now be clear with Dixon still 1 to serve?

A couple of thoughts on Sunday's game - what a difference a fit Brandon Douglas would have made last year, Charlie Graham looks to have the makings of an excellent centre, and Jouffret in my humble opinion is our most influential player, whether he's at fullback or half, although I'd still prefer him and JWH in their traditional positions. Very promising start, especially in view of the limited number of fit players - not meaning to be negative but the quality of the opposition means I'm not getting too carried away just yet.
