Feels like this will be a real barometer of where we are at. Newcastle are a difficult team to gauge and I can equally see us getting a good result and getting turned over. We're off the back of probably our most complete performance of the season so far, hopefully we carry that momentum onwards.

Scoring early doors might be key. Hopefully Henry can make us a little less predictable and ope up their defence.

I'd agree with that and hopefully he has a positive first game for us. Watching him at the World cup and NSW Cup footage, his kicking game seems somewhat similar to Oli's but much more of a threat with the ball in hand than Horsman and has the size to actually take the ball into the line effectively.

Not sure what condition Waine is in so not necessarily expecting him to play. Would be good to see him get a run too though.

Any local radio stations covering the game at all do we know?

Nope. It looks completely off grid.

I like this half time score. I don’t who scored. I don’t know what’s going on. But the score line looks good.18-0

3 out of 4 conversions missed. That’s costly. Must do something about this.

We’ve won this. So that’s good. Onto Swinton next week.

So it appears Walker x 3, Bassett, Waine, Natoli & Bill Leyland with tries & Oli x4 conversions.

Pleasing result and sounded like we were on top for the majority, from what I was able to follow on the Thunder Twitter match feed.

Great result, big help to our points difference in case things get tight towards the end of the season

From the opposition's match report it sounds like a decent performance. https://www.thunderrugby.co.uk/article/ ... on-broncos

Complete mystery as to how good we were, how poor they were, who our key players were but 7 tries suggests we were positive and good to share the tries around. Leyland Junior is picking up quite a few tries on the quiet. Really good start to the season for him. Not so sure about Reserves result though. Got a bit of a pasting which is a worry as I think 7 of the line up are 1st squad players- shows the depth issues to the squad.

I see York have done us no favours losing at home to Haven. Funny old side York.

Funny ol' game, i'n'it Saint?

Belated congrats on a big away win.
