This would have been a cracking game to watch had Sky gone with it tonight.
Disgraceful how both Tetavano and Prior cannot stay on the pitch and these two are top earners at the club.
Fantastic comeback and superb team spirit shown.
Watching the Big Bash Eseh looks a good young prospect.

They have now strung two of the best wins for years together. It's time for some of the stay away fans to get out of their armchairs and head to HQ next Sunday. If we don't get 15k it will be a disgrace. So pleased for Sezer who was unfairly written off by many. Rohan Smith is a game changer.

Well said. Still can’t believe we won that. Brilliant

Looks like a bit of a soft red card to be honest. Without a VR to review, Kendalls had to go by his initial viewpoint and the touchies advice. Didnt look like a shoulder to head, more of a chest impact, as in Priors tackled him full body and stood straight up. Interesting to see what the disciplinary say.


**Edit: Actually, on second view, after saving the video and being able to slow it down, it does look like shoulder to head first contact. Another big ban incoming for Prior.

Excellent win in the circumstances. Smith has got us able to win despite our front row problems which is really an incredible turnaround from the start of the year.

Amazing win and real credit to the boys. In terms of Prior I don't think he is a dirty player I just think age has caught up withhim and hes trying to be defensively dominant but because his reflexes and general fitness is declining hes getting in all the wrong positions. Hopefully he recognises that himself and decides to call time on his career at the end of the season.
On a positive note isn't Tetevano back next week !

I don't know if we've got records of sendings off but I'd be surprised if this isn't the highest total in a season in the club's history, and we've got time to get even higher....

I think you've hit the nail on the head re Prior. His game is built on being a little bit fitter, a little bit quicker. But old father time takes that away from us all. Massive next week for Tetevano. He needs to get it right.

Not sure it can be assured as a positive!
