Foundations : Fri Feb 27, 2009 10:33 pm  

When building a house the first thing you need is good foundations and on tonights performance I think we are on our way to having a very good house.I'm not going to get to carried away and predict this and that but to see a solid display like tonights fills me with hope.What a wonderful performance from 1 to 17.Congratulations to Richard Horne on scoring his 100th try,and how fitting to do it at home infront of the faithful.Well done lads.

It was another encouraging display. Still room for improvement but a great result nonetheless.

We have 6 points from 3 games - compare that to last year when it took us ELEVEN games to reach 7 points.

Happiest I have been with a performance in a long while. With players coming in, we can only improve

any news on injuries to the ones that went tonight did any look serious?

In many ways the best performance for a fair while. Particularly pleased that we seem to have regained our determination not to let the other team score that we had in 2005/06 seasons. Even when we got to 28-6 and the game already looked won we were really piling in and scrambling to keep them out.

Still areas for improvement though, so let's hope we continue to do so. I certainly came away from tonight with a lot more optimism than I had during the close season.

Mike Burnett has an ankle injury, considered doubtful for next week. Washy should be back though and Whiting has a chance.

Only Burnett. Agar said it was his ankle and they need to see how he is in a couple of days. A doubt for next week.

Some excellent work by the pack again tonight - won the "arm-wrestle" convincingly and pushed back their ball-carrier more effectively than I can remember. Special mention to Tom Briscoe for a stunning one-on-one ball steal to save a try as well. Very encouraging all round.
