Thought the atmosphere last night was sensational and the players really lifted as a result. People talk about the best atmosphere so far at Langtree Park being the Leeds match last year - I missed that game due to the birth of my son - but it surely couldn't have been better than last night?
I have a very sore throat today and, working as a primary school teacher, it's proving to be hard going!!! But it was well worth it!
Thought it was also nice to see players re-connecting with the fans (as Wilkin said they would). Wellens high-fiving kids in the crowd at the end and posing for photos, and Wilkin joining in with the 'You light up my senses' song at the start of the match - brilliant!
All in all - a tremendous night. Wigoon might say they were without Tomkins and O'Loughlin, but we were without Roby and Soliola (and lost others during the game too). Let's hope we kick on now and have a good final part to the season.
Well done to everybody last night - it will live long in the memory!

I remember him coughing and spluttering during matches as if he'd been out on a 15-pint bender and smoked 40 Regal Kings the night before. The fact that this was the conclusion I jumped to at the time probably says a lot about the level of performance he was producing.
I tend not to worry about the Michael Smiths, Tricky Trindall ans Phil Adamsons - they didn't actually get much game time due mainly to issues aside from their playing ability. Its when you find out we've signed a Kiwi prop for the up coming season, get all excited, and then it turns out to be Bryan Henare ....and then he stays for (what seems like) an age.

I think there are two classes of bad imports, in truth. One sort are the good players who fail to make an impression because they fall out with the coach/are over on a drinking holiday/get homesick/have injury problems etc. I think you can put the likes of O'Connor, Trindall, Adamson, Micheal Smith and Josh Perry in this category.
Then, occassionally, you just get players over who clearly have no ability whatsoever. Leon Felton and Bryan Henare spring to mind.
