Noticed Hobson did a bit of ball handling today, he got a few nice passes in.
Hobbo for scrum half

Both his good passes in the first half were forward ones. Thank god the ref was rubbish and he was rubbish. I hope Mike Morrison is ok. Anyone heared anything?

i thought the ref was good today......spoke to a few players after the game who where very complimentary of gareths performance.....by the way, don't know gareth.......just being objective

jesus this is the first time i have read the match thoughts on here after a massive scoreline that hasnt said

too easy and im not going again until we have better opposition

or

it was only london skolars and we should have scored 300

would just like to touch on whats been said about watson only passing one way.
each player has a prefered passing side and would rather pass that way than the side which isnt as strong its just comes natural and watson did control the game well today just like an international scrum half would do

its just our good fortune that we have other players that can take the good spotlight off others like durbin,ridyard,higson all did today in other peoples opinions. i ould rather have that than people saying we only have a one trick pony that gets mom every week

he was limping qite badly after the game, get well soon Mike. I think Stu wa taken of as a precaution and to give game time to Sam Reay

IMO thought Danny Meekin looked impressive as well.

one of the most pleasing things I saw today was there seemed to be some real desire and determination in defence.

I think on more than one occasion we carried their players into touch and also a couple of times in the last quarter our boys were not just making the tackle but dragging them back 5-10 metres.


Forgive me if this question has been asked/answered previously but where is Aaron Smith???
