I guess whether we were lucky or not depends very much on how much you've invested in slagging radford off before a ball has been kicked. |

Just happy to get a result in the end, really happy with our attack, but plenty to work on the defence. Micky Paea is a beast.

Well done on the result and some good handling, Thompson doubter's here anyone?'"
We weren't lucky. We scored a hatful of tries and looked really good for a big chunk of the game. We definitely need a goalkicker, and our right edge defence needs some hard work, but we didn't win through luck. |

As a winger your play off your centre, Lineham kept close enough to prevent the try being scored on his inside, the fact there was such a huge gap on his outside is not his fault.
Are you suggesting he should have successfully defended the 15 yards of space on his own? Unless a player is quite obviously out of position or misses a simple tackle you cannot blame them for a try, defence is a team effort and just because he's the winger doesn't mean he should take the blame.
It was a great pass by Catalan, sometimes you just have to accept that, Lineham couldn't have prevented that on his own.'" |

It doesn't say anything at all. Except maybe that it was windy. |

I'd say Catalan were lucky. They should have been 1 man down and if we still had a kicker of a high standard they wouldn't even have had a chance to tie the game at the end. |

lots to work on but most on the prediction thread thought we'd lose. 1 0 to radders. |

Very entertaining game and some cracking tries. Lots of positives but plenty to work on too. And yes we came close to chucking it.

There were 3 players (including lineham) in that area. If he had been wider, 15 yards to defend on his own or not he should have been wider. He's a big fast lad so chances are he might have stopped him in a better position. Great pass I agree but disagree he was positioned right. Happened to many times tonight. |

Thought our attack looked slicker than it has for years. Which is what most have wanted TBH. Hopefully we can address the defensive weaknesses without losing any of that new-found potency.

A win is a win and we showed some good stuff in attack. The concern is the woeful defending, some very basic errors from the players. Hopefully the defence will pick up as the season progresses and the attack will continue to create chances.
Azza made a big difference when he was on the field and it is no surprise that we scored most of our points when he was on the field.
