Very very happy with that performance.
Hopefully the injury to Field isn’t too serious.

He’s gone for a few weeks according to Peet.

I suspected as much.
Will be interesting who we put at 6 over the next few weeks.

I don’t think they will know for sure the severity of the injury until they get it scanned, could be weeks could be months, Peet just confirmed he won’t play next Friday no matter how positive the scan results are which I would have to agree with, hamstring injuries are not ones to risk.
The positive signs are that it didn’t massively stop him in his tracks, he didn’t look in huge pain and he walked off the pitch without assistance. Fingers crossed.

Hope to god it isn't a repeat of 2021. The downside of being sl reliant on two players is things look very precarious when one of them go down.

Chris Brooks has said stretch not tear.

We potentially missing fields and Wardle next week. Not sure if thornleys fit enough for the full 80 so do we ship Isa to Centre and bring Shorrocks on to back row. Start Powell at 6 and put Oniel at 9.

Cust if he can play but sounds like he’ll need surgery/extended rest.

Astley if he’s ready if not Powell, with O’Neill doing big minutes.

Well let's wait for the scan - hopefully we get lucky and it's a 4-6 week job. Shame Hampshire isn't ready yet - as it is looks like a combo of Powell and Smith....

If Wardle gets a ban surely we all give up?

If they are consistent I expect a £250 fine.

it was no worse than the tackle on french at the end but no sin bin

Just a note, Willie Isa was class tonight, full of energy and aggression in attack and defence, great line speed and organisation on that right hand side.

Maybe not worse, but nevertheless, Wardle's was a yellow all day long as far as I'm concerned. The others, not so much.

Attackers are getting so good at passing right at the line these days. You see at least one of them shots etc game. Wardle was late but wasn’t too high ( if I remember correctly).

Late = pan
Really late = 10 mins
Really late and direct contact to the head = red and ban.

They’ve been less harsh will bans this year so expect just a fine.
