There’s some real quality “go forward” right there. Waited 5 years for it but we’re gonna have a great pack next year.

I think you are getting a bit giddy after the dizzy heights the team hit against Catalan. Just for clarity I have never used the term bellend, although I may have thought it sometimes on reading some posters.
Just stay away from the blue smarties and have an early night.

There were some really encouraging things in yeterdays game.
The defence was a lot stronger and you could see a lot of effort was going into controlling the attacking player to turn them on their back or to push them back. I have not seen that all season.

Unless I am mistaken since the England game George William's has switched sides. He played on the left yesterday but all season prior to that he has been on the right. If the new left edge is William's, Currie, Wardle and Ashton and they get the combinations right it could be a real threat.

There was always plenty of players to support breaks or chase attacking kicks. Every offload went to a pair of hands rather than a speculative offload ending up on the floor. When we had players running sideways across the defensive line there were players pushing through as options rather than players just standing and watching.

After the Widdop try and injury Catalan had a period of pressure, a Tomkins break, the Langi try and it took 5-10 mins after Widdop went off to compose ourselves but they did that. In previous games there could well have been back to back tries conceded. Catalan also forced a few drop outs and we gave away a few penalties and coped well with the pressure.

It wasn't perfect. We still put quite a few balls on the floor and fluffed 2 on 1 situations.

I am not getting carried away because I think that there will be many bumps in the road but it looked like the players had belief in what they were doing yesterday. It appears there was a commitment to a system that we have not seen for a while.

It was another poster who called you a bellend yesterday LOL - I'm not disagreeing with him/her.

I think it's you who needs to quit the hard core drugs and booze, you posted this two days ago

BTW, do you still think he should retire or would you give him more time?

Good post and agree with most of what you've said - it would be a bit boring if we agreed on everything though.

Enjoy the rest of the evening and fingers crossed for next week. I'm prepared to look like a bit of a plonker if we get hammered!

(Apologies too for re-quoting that insult - a bit out of order tbh)

What are this club thinking signing Dudson?Have they not learnt?He’s garbage from what I’ve seen of him.

We'll get plenty of impact from Mikaele, Vaughan & Kasiano, he works hard and does the simple stuff, I'm not as enthused at his signing as I am the other three, but if he can be consistent and put in a good 50 minute performance, that's good enough. At the weekend he had 30 tackles, 11 carries for 100m and no errors (but 1 penalty against), not earth shattering, but better stats wise than any of our props on the day bar Harrison. (I know stats don't tell the whole story).

He was alright, (as was seguier) I just think our group of props were better for a change.

How did Riley Dean do ? I didn't see the match ,didn't hear him mentioned on SL show & the radio commentary was next to useless.

Solid but not spectacular. It was obvious that Powell wanted Williams dictating play (maybe to build his confidence a bit?) but Dean generally did okay I thought. Some good defence apart from letting Langi steal a try from dummy half, but that was understandable as Dean and Nicholson only have a few first team games between them.

Splendid.
