other than scoring hows iain thornley playing?

Very well. He's just scored another.

sign him up !!!

Ah Van hattrick against Saints. Man of steel!

so hes not taken long to get back to real rugby then?

Certainly not out of place today by all accounts.

He's a tremendous athlete and a very talented lad. His move to Rugby Union left a bitter taste in some people's mouths but he's back playing RL now & if he fulfills his potential we'll have an awesome player.

Time to wrap some players up in cotton wool? Sam? Goulding?

Thought we could have been in for a long afternoon early doors but we ground them down and then played some great rugby. Tomkins was head and shoulders the best player on the field.

Smith showed some promising touches and good defence when he came on st hooker. First time since Tommy's injury the back line gelled. Probably should have put 60 on them after a few bombed chances but all in all a very professional display.

Sam's hattrick try was special.

Just heading back. We started in very shaky fashion but real grew as the game went on and it was especially pleasing to see the right hand side growing in confidence as the game went on.

I thought Matty Smith turned it when he came on and had a huge game overall from dummy half. He was really busy and looks a good signing although it's early days.

Sam Tomkins was MOM by streets overall. They tried to rough him up (mainly legally to be fair) but he answered them in the best possible fashion by ripping them apart. Him and Finch are exceptional!
