feline my dear, there's a big difference between putting in a massive hit or two, and consistently being in the right place to defend. see peter fox for an example.

Last time I saw Cowling (about a year ago) he still looked like a boy. Looked much bigger yesterday, someones worked hard on him.

Good solid start for Cowling, think he's got a good future in the game.

Agree - add to that Richie Mathers who didnt lay a finger on Meli on two occasions when one on one.. To be fair sides are going to pepper Fox all game so he should get the opportunity to turn it around.

He came on leaps and bounds when on loan with us, I'm happy for him given the nasty injury he suffered earlier on this season.

I'd suggest that Martin Clawson has a lot do with that - less sports science and more Rocky training montage; from what I hear, he absolutely beasts the players and the benefits in terms of strength and superior fitness are becoming apparent for all to see.
