think that was the only time i laughted all game

Manu was sensational yet again and Tansey is yet to have his flair coached out of him by Agar.

Yeh, one of the funniest things I've seen on a rugby pitch for a while.

Seriously though, I think this game went some find out how we measure against the top teams in the comp. Big pressure games like this sort out the wheat from the chaff as far as the pedigree of player you have at the club. Some shone (houghton, manu) while some are clearly not up to it (i'll let you decide). If there is a positive than it may be that we now have a platform to build on as a far a recruitment, current roster, etc (or am i reading too much into a one off game?).

Thoughts.

At least the rest of the country couldn`t laugh at us......................oh `eck.

Gary wont have to endure a come on form Kath

recruitment will be as follows:

Dowes: Dull and out of form, but relatively cheap=New Deal
Radford: Dull and out of form, but relatively cheap=New Deal
Yeaman: Not been in form for ages=New Deal

If Tickle and Manu have any sense they'll leave and go win trophy's elsewhere. Both are too good for this current set up.

we'll top our recruitment off by buying some 30year old Aussie at great expense to sell some season passes. And so the cycle continues.
