I agree i thought Rhyse, particularly 2nd half, was excellent especially in defence.

Newman and Austin should add a bit more cutting edge hopefully.

Its week 1 and it was far from doom and gloom. Losing Myler and Fusitua hurt us badly. We might have lost Myler for a bit now, weve certainly lost Bentley for a period and im not sure how fit Mikolaj was at the end hopefully ok for next week.

Martin was MoM IMO
Bentley deserved red but wasn't there yellow for the exact same thing? Sorry don't know which wire got the yellow

mik had ice pack on knee walking

holmes i think

no way - 1st try through his area

Bar that his contribution was much better than sutcliffes though as mentioned the hope is broadbent cements a spot

enjoyed it immense spirit didn't deserve to lose especially to iffy tries , tet , prior and cam worked themselves to nothing , definate contact to fus head in front of me . dwyer binning harsh , holmes should have had red , might not win a trophy but should win more than we lose

Martins performance was even more impressive seeing as his Father passed away a couple of days ago

sorry can't get excited about one of kev's mistakes here 5 yrs too long - sutty's ok at centre best position after knee injury but hopefully broadbent the future poss put him on wing ahead of tb next week

I thought he was playing well back end of last season and he certainly did great today. If Gannon starts next week he could be hard to displace. Runs hard, tackles hard and extremely disciplined in everything he does.

No, nothing like the exact same. Bentley was direct contact with the head. The Oliver Holmes one was off the shoulder so yellow is appropriate.

Thats exactly how i saw it too 99. Thought Kendall got both dead right.

Agreed, one was a closed fist smack to the side of the face, the other was just a high tackle. One red, one yellow was correct for me, although Holmes looked very worried!

Great story, compelling and rich
