After today does it mean that Ah Van is going to be our kicker????? To be honest i was quite impressed with his kicking. Also It is nice to have pace on the wings again.

I think we have found our new goal kicker in Patrick Ah Van who ended up at six from seven which included two from outwide on the touchline and he has the most unsual kicking style I've ever seen whereby he just toe kicks it but the ball just flys over the black dot in a straight line.

Stevo will be pumping over his kicking style then.

Just wondering how the lad John Bateman got on today?

Quality. Looked very classy. Scored a try and set one up, played at alot higher level than would be expected of a 16 year old.

I expected as much!

What number did John Bateman play please.

He was in the 20 shirt, playing at Loose Forward.

Thank you he did not look to be only 16 if he progessess we could have an rl superstar

As has been said - Bloody well! And for a 16 year old, quite amazing. He won a load of new fans today, although I seem to recall watching him do pretty well in the academy games late last season.

Star of the future, that one.
