Experience of Brough means jack all now. He’s part of the reason we’re in this mess.

I see your point. My worry for both of them is dealing with their attacking contested kicks. If fit, i would be happy to see Atkins on the wing for a bit of height and strength and Rocky to full back. If Chester doesn't trust Gwaze then Escare on the bench as he could have an impact late on if we need a try but i'd prefer four forwards on the bench.

I don't get the move of Hampshire to fullback for high ball safety. He's had some pretty horrible moments himself.
Jowitt yes of course. Safe as you like. Other two are all about attack.
The extra that Escare brings is beasting the defence. He really gets into them and it clearly works.

Agree r.e Jowitt, think he's best after a run of games though so wouldn't be bringing him back for this one especially when he has been playing 6 for the reserves (i think).

With Hampshire, I would back him to take any kick so long as he doesn't have to out-jump anyone.

I can not make it on Friday. Please please please make some noise and get behind the team. Constant chants and applause from the kick off. Try not to sink if London score first , keep the lads
going from start to finish.

Alas I fear London may do the jumping for the ball thing.

Ending up with Dixon in possession and breaking away, as he does against most teams.

I will give Broughy his due he controlled that game tonight and tanginoa was superb in a good pack performance

Couldn't make it to the KC tonight so watched your game.

Can't understand how it came to this. Ex-FC boys Brough and Miller controlled the game and your defence was excellent.

cheers lads we owe you one

Excellent defensive effort. Gritty win, brough tormenting with the boot, exactly why we brought him in. Kelepi collosal, absolutely outstanding. Note to club get Eddie Battye signed up quality forward.

Cheers for that win guys. At least you could do what we (Rovers) couldn,t, that,s beat the Broncos. We would have gone if you had lost, due to yet another flaming golden point loss. That really would have been a sickener too far. Once again, well done, now back to our usual rivalries next season.Lets hope both our teams can avoid this scenario next year....Wow, that was horrible.
Tough for London, they gave a few teams a scare, especially us.

Thoughts on Escare now he's played a few games for you? Rumours over this end that a permanent move is on the cards.

It’s quite simple really...for too long a periods over the season we’ve missed too much quality through injuries and it’s hurt is badly...we were in a real slump and I’d say only the late additions of Escare, Green and Tangata gave the squad the shot in the arm it needed...otherwise we may well have been the ones going down tonight!

I thought we were excellent value for the win tonight...started with real intent defensively...countless times getting 3 or 4 men in the tackle and driving London back...on the whole we completed sets really well, made few errors and gave few penalties away...

All those saying Brough should have been dropped and panicking over Abdul’s bombs....well...if that wasn’t a kicking masterclass from Brough I don’t know what is...a superb performance and just shows when our pack get on top Brough still is capable of quality performances.

Thought Kelepi was outstanding too...what a signing he’s been...just a shame the timing of his arrival saw us depleted and struggling...can’t wait to see him next year in a pack with the likes of Fifita, Ashurst and Arona back in...let’s all pray next season is a bit kinder on the injury front and we can kick on with improving our ground!
