Christ that was close. I thought we'd have another last second defeat.

Good to get the win though against a team high on confidence.

London will be a tough place to go this year so well chuffed with the win and avoiding another last second defeat. Only a 4 point win but 4 trys to 6 so should have been by a bigger margin but thankfully missed conversions didn't cost us. Kicking conditions must have been tough.

Just pleased to get through that one. Had banana skin written all over it, and we did our best to lose.

We need to be a lot better, but I am sure we will be.

We gave away 14 penalties today,9 in the first half
Its this indiscipline that puts pressure on the defence when its not necessary.
Its consistent and Radford needs to do something about it.
We were comfortable until Lane stole the ball on the last tackle which then led to a try and the comeback from London

It has been the same for 15 months now, as you say, something needs to change.

Shaul out for at least two weeks following a head knock.

Griffin to full back on Friday?

His last head knock was his second in 12 months, so the tests he had to pass were more stringent. This latest one could take even longer.

I’d bring Maloudi in, he was outstanding in the reserves. Griffin looks a threat in the centre when he stays awake.

As much as I’d been keen to see Miloudi play he’s not really taken his chances. Defensively he has a lot of work to do at this level. Not sure who’d come in for Shaul to be honest though Carlos might be an option.

When he has stepped in at Full back he has been good
Whether he can do that for a full game against a team like Warrington i dont know.
That said Miloudi is a disaster at full back so could be on
Possibility now to see Talanoa return and move Faraimo to centre
