Can’t disagree with anything you’ve said there. That passage of play before half time was mind boggling and very frustrating.

Young Doyle looks to be some player. A good break with his first touch, great awareness for his try and the attack looks sharper with him there. I’ve got loads of time for Halas. He’s as tough as they come, but once George is available I’d imagine we’ll see more of him at 13. No bad thing when you consider the lack of experience in the pack, although saying that I was very impressed with the likes of Gallagher, Scurr, etc.

I went to the Tynecastle game. As I recall we were poor and it was another Sean Edwards masterclass. But I got to spend the day in Edinburgh and then spent the night and following day on the Northumberland coast. Whats not to like about that.

Indeed, Sean showed just how he could play when him and the rest of the team were using the same playbook.

I'm pretty sure the Welford Rd one was because London couldn't use their then 'home' ground due to reseeding or some such but the Tynecastle game was an 'on the road, fixture via the RFL. Didn't every SL club have to play in some unusual destination over the same weekend? That's what I seem to remember, though obviously I could easily be totally wrong.

That is correct, though I seem to remember going to 2 games at Welford Road? I may be wrong?

I went to Tynecastle as well, not a great game but a great weekend, those were the days.

Yes, my memory is correct - from Wiki, though I don`t remember anything about the games.
