You were saying, you don't seem to have much faith in a team that has won 7 of their last 8 games?
Given we were a few points behind it's stupid to come out with such comments with such a long time left...

Top of the league and this is your first comment. Cherry on the icing on the cake. So happy.

It's a proven coping mechanism for natural pessimists like me and Mrs. B. Declare the worst case scenario and be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't materialise.

Really? After going top of the league you choose to have a dig at someone?

All he's got. Gap-toothed steaming turd and so on.

Why is it stupid? First half we were awful. When Rovers went ahead in the second half I bet most fans thought they would go on to win.

Horrible game and a really shoddy performance from us I thought. Great to get the win but if we don't throw the ball away and give away stupid penalities we walk that game by 30 points.

Inspired bench selection by radford though

Turd.

Anyway, back on topic. What a dire first 50 minutes. Luckily for us Kelly and Campese conspired to provide the penalty springboard, so we should thank them for gifting us back the points we looked like gifting them. Cheers!

Not a great surprise we won considering the opposition, but we did what we had to do, even if it was 'ugly' in patches.

There's plenty of improvement left in us, which is good because we need to peak in September/October, not in May.

Well done lads, a win is a win

How big is Gaz Ellis for us? No coincidence we play our best stuff when he's on. Thought the season was over when he went down badly. Worst minute of the season for me til he got up. What a leader.

Was a pretty dismal game wasn't it, never seen so many really simple primary school errors such as those forward passes but in the end it doesn't matter! Carlos was incredible when he came on, really changed the mood.

I think the thing I noticed the most though, and a lot recently, was the desire by the lads to play together. I'm thinking of the moment near the end where we pushed one of their players into touch (I know that is vague but cant remember which one of them it was). Ours players were celebrating like they had scored a try. When Gaz was on the floor they were all immediately over to him to see if he was okay. That bonding and brotherhood that they have is something that cant be manufactured. It is the mood in the dressing room and the time they spend together off the field that does that and in the end shows they genuinely like playing together and like each other in general. Great to see!
