| Miller looks very good joining the line as expected. What the highlights reels never tell you is how good players are with their consistency and with their D. Time will tell but he definitely has skill.

| Littlewood I think.
I was right about O’Connor to 13 and Johnson to 9… I still hope Johnson makes it at Leeds he was very very good at junior grade.

| Ackers rightly MoM but I thought Frawley had a few nice touches and pushed him close. O'Connor and Goudemand solid too. Sinfield looking a lot more assured ball in hand.
Olpherts scored a nice second try. If that doesn't put him in the shop window he could still be decent back up for us if he builds confidence.

| I know not everyone follows academy but some will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the players coming through.
We are very strong in the back line; not too sure about forwards still but there are one or two standouts there too (Presley etc).

| Actually thought Frawley was pretty good. He is smart and didn’t overplay in the conditions.
Sinfield needs to improve his D, no problem with him going forward but he has to be able to position and tackle better.

| Night and day difference from 1st to 2nd half...coinciding with ditching the gimmicks, shortcuts and going wide way too early and introducing good defence, discipline and running straight and hard early before going wide. Hopfully thats Rohans itch scratched for the season...because the proof could not be more overwhelming.
Enjoyed the 2nd half, good to see some of the young lads, especially Liitlewood, mentioned him last season as, along with Corbett, the only forwards i liked from last years academy team. Thought he played well, got a great frame for putting plenty of size on..he's extremely fast aswel.

Thought Frawley looked exactly what we need. Very smooth distribution and looks to have a good temperament. Agree Ackers was MOM. Miller came up with some mistakes, but also two assists. They need to work hard at fitting his undoubtedly ability into the structure. Sinfield is really beginning to develop and was great to see Fergus McCormack come on and do well.

| Enjoyed that , well the second half!
There were some very promising signs IMO
Miller i think was trying too hard but when he settled down he showed some lovely touches.
Frawley looks like a good pick up, very composed.
Goudemand really impressed me.
Ackers was al class.
Biggest takeaway though is tvst we have some very impressive young players coming through!

| My big thing with the young lads is that they look like natural players Lumb Mcormack, Smith and Littlewood all looked like natural players.
Frawley for all his detractors looked like exactly what we need.
Agree on Jack as well, improving all the time but defensively not quite there yet. Probably would benefit from a loan.

| Thought going Jack Smith actually turned the game - he has pace too he did very well against Walmsley tracking back.

| At least we won this year! It will take a bit of time with integrating new faces. For me I want to see signs of a clear coaching structure and a way of playing coming through in pre-season. No more gimmicks just well organised Rugby and if we make a few mistakes on the way that's fine as that's what pre-season is for building confidence relationships and patterns of play.

1230.gif “You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

| As usual, no interest in the Boxing Day game, but I did watch the post match presser and I'm pleased to see Smith praising the way the preseason games have flowed/been refereed. After his rightful complaints last year I'm hoping for less wrestle and messing about at the PTB this season, a nice last hurrah before the tackle height change kills off the game.
