Apart from the GRUB aspect of mc Shane's play,how the hell he gets away with what he does every week is ridiculous and powell has the nerve to moan about our foul play,Smithies quite rightly got sin binned and might get a 1-2 game ban but he needs to sort out his own backyard before slagging us off

Thought Powell was brilliant today. His game seems to improve every week. So much more creative at the line than he was. Stalwart. Happy to see him in the no.9 shirt until he decides to call it a day.

Absolutely. And another thing struck me during the game: those "he's usually third man into the tackle" jibes. Hardly! First man in on plenty of crucial occasions, as he is every week. Couple of good kicks too, as I recall.

An outstanding performance from Powell. I thought he was a little quiet in attack in our first two games since the restart but he more than made up for it today. He showed a real playmakers instincts as both a hooker and a loose forward (or whatever position he was playing when Hastings went to hooker). Speaking or which, Hastings to hooker worked well during the game too. Some good versatility among our playmakers. Powell, Leuluai and Hastings all appear capable of playing half, hooker and loose forward. Adds some nice fluidity to our attack.

We looked totally lost at times with neither half, Tommy or Hastings, putting their hand up and controlling the game particularly at the end of sets in the first half.

Sam had to and did start trying to control things, whilst the halves sorted themselves out.

Defence was on point as ever as was his delivery.

Cracking player.

For me he was our best player. Truly outstanding tonight. I’m always happy to admit I’m wrong and here’s me now admitting I was wrong about Powell. He is truly a key player for us

Always been a good player and clubman for the club.
