Donaldson as immense last night. Got to build the base of the pack around him with Ferguson and possibly Blyte/Bridge as the other 2nd row. Addy not commanding enough to start in any position but great to have coming off the bench as a Utility option as could do a job anywhere on the pitch if necessary

Bridge and Mullally would be great to get in on a permanent basis.

Donno is looking quality atm

Thought Mullally added what we lacked against Cas last week.

Was interesting to hear the interview with Diskin last night before the game, he referred to Olbison as the best trainer, and probably one of the strongest lads he has come across.

Wasn't expecting that to be honest.

sport is full of great trainers that dont deliver on the field/arena

Not convinced about Bridge yet. Mullally and Donaldson yes all good with them. Carvell not missed now is he.

Not sure on the praise for Mullally to be honest, especially people saying we should sign him up after one game. He is a big unit no doubt, but he also looks very clumsy, he was a penalty/error machine last night and he could have been penalised a few more times, he put the team under unnecessary pressure several times and really could have cost us.

I respect your opinion however to balance it I think he made a more than a difference. Work on his tackling technique but then what do i know at 5ft 10 1/2 I was always tackling kneecaps!!

Would agree about bridge used as a prop, as in cas game. Thought he looked a lot more comfortable in 2nd row and ran some good lines. Think it's well worth extending his loan deal if we can as offers a bit of size in 2nd row, which we don't really have, and gives us a backup option at prop. That assumes we don't bring in a permanent signing for prop/2nd row.

Very true!!! I'm 6' 7" and from my playing days I know how difficult it is to bend the knees and get low



I'm not saying he hasn't got potential, just saying lets not get carried away, if one of our regular players had given away so many penalties I think the fans would have given him stick. Fingers crossed he turns into a star AND we get to keep him.

Maybe Mullaly was just a bit over enthusiastic last night. A couple of weeks to settle down and he will be ok. Pleasant surprise for me.
