We could be negative but ...

The comeback gives us hope. The spirit and joy the players expressed was there for all to see. That can only be good. A good old siege mentality of us against the world including us fans will I hope spur the squad on.
It was all sparked by a penalty that Lauaki won. Not sure what happened but it knocked something into him as he had done sweet fa before that. But the team sparked at that point and the rest is history.
For 65 mins though it was average at best. Kicking game was woeful. Chase ok. Right wing targeted again and came up short a few times. Whiting missed a tackle which created a long range try for them which was uncharacteristic.
Westerman was mom for me. Great running out wide and providing that little bit of guile the forwards have been missing.
Obst was a real handful.
Briscoe was excellent, just hope his broken nose doesn't keep him out.
Ticks is clearly carrying a leg injury he has more padding than the goal posts on his thigh.
Yeaman took his chances well.
Lack of angles being run and too many times the players are taking the ball stood still.
Still lots of problems but that spirit may well carry us through the bad times. Remember we were dead and buried with 15 to go. We had a 24 point turn around. There might be hope.

Pretty much as I saw it. The kicking game was absolutely terrible, no other way to describe it.

SOme flashes of inspiration and brilliance won it.

With no disrespect to quins at all, but a better side than they are would have murdered us.

That said, I was happy and jumping up and down in joy in the sun. Happy days, great weekend.

Think Friday and next friday are pivotal games.

Here's a little bit of crowd and player reaction to Yeamo's winning try. Mr B had it on the wrong speed, so it's in slow-mo and no sound, but quite amusing of Yeaman milking the moment and the crowd loving it. Nice of the players group hugs too. s930.photobucket.com/albums/ad14 ... 1368-1.mp4

works really well with slo mo - also it's crying out for a musical soundtrack

That video shows how much the win was needed for them as well as the coach, nice to see

The club means the world to Johnnie Whiteley too but would you consider re-signing him?

Every loser wins

I've obviously woken up in a parallel universe, one where a 10 point win against a team that had 80 put past them in their last game is celebrated as if we'd won the WCC.

we're still 8 points behind the top of SL and we still have an idiot as coach

You're certainly reading an different board to this one if you've managed to get that impression.

a fair assesment would be that although a win..it mearly papers over the cracks,...we were again poor in most departments and lets be fair...quins had put the que on the rack for some reason with 15 to go...bad mistake...
