Thats what I thought, thats why I cant understand how it was on a Wednesday

The Edwards game was 100% a Wednesday Night with a delayed kick off for torrential rain.

Anybody know how many tickets roughly we have sold for tomorrow night?

Not a clue but i'm thinkng we'll be looking at around 6500-7000 at a guess.

I'm fairly sure that was Derms' testimonial, the sprinter was Ade Mafe. Jeremy Guscott was due to play in the game IIRC, but pulled out at the last minute with some lame excuse.

Hampo definitely won the kicking comp.

Made a habit of that that lad. Soft get!

wasnt Guscott, was the black winger who set the RU 7's alight a few weeks before.

Andrew harriman

I remember that. Also remember someone (my memory tells me it was Derms) tackling one of the Corrie actors at football and booming him into next week, and the actor proper spitting his dummy.

Was a great day.

Shame the ball didn't drop for Rads last night when Spencer scored. It was like the old days watching him chase through (although a couple of stone heavier and with much darker hair).

Saying that Spencer deserved his try. I was hugely impressed with him last night.

I was so certain he was going to recover that ball. Still looked useful, option at FB???

matty russell should be our next full back.

Russell must get some games this year either at fullback or on the wing. He looks a really exciting prospect and far too good for u20's rugby.

What impressed me most about Russell last night was his one on one tackling when players made a break. On two or three occasions it was down to him to make the final tackle and he made them without any difficulty.
That ability is always useful in a fullback and can make a lot of difference in close games.

He certainly doesn't lack confidence either. The Hull KR game showed that even when he made an error or two he didn't let it get to him and was able to come back stronger.
