how many times have panic off loads paid dividends to clubs like Leeds and Wigan and won them games, I like to see the ball thrown about

Pretty much agree with that and we lacked patience in the 2nd half, looking for miracle balls instead of building a better attacking platform.

Put into perspective, it was far, far more encouraging than last season but, who gets the trophy

happy with the draw

Happy with the draw, remember not long ago we were 30 mins away from admin

Enjoyed the game today,Dan Smith looked OK and Wildie for me just sneaked MOM for Wakey.If Trin looked after the ball a bit better it would've been a Trin win.But over all the team as a whole tackled well and run it in well.Well done.

The ball was quite literally 'thrown about' today... All over the bloody place.

There's nothing wrong with panic offloads when the game requires it. We try it in our own half, sometimes on the first or second tackle, often when we're in front on the scoreboard.

It was entertaining for a boxing day match. Wasn't much between the sides in my opinion and were obvious fitness issues with some but generally I thought we looked alright. Wildie was impressive, Smith looked strong and Trout put in a stint. Goulding was guilty in trying too hard in my opinion but it was interesting to see Sykes at centre. McShane went well too

How did Tautai and Molloy go?

Tautai went alright, made a couple of breaks but got a little too excited and then lost the ball. Got exploited once in defence but showed a lot promise. Started at prop, so probably tired a little. I didn't even notice Molloy so can't comment

How did kilday do? One for the future?

Didn't he score our last try?

McShane looks a good fit for us,will move us nicely around the park.

More positives than negatives. Good hit out but difficult to read too much into it this early in the pre season. McShane will be a big player for us this year though and i'd like to see Goulding get a deal, think he could be handy cover.
