"Can I put tribal differences aside and make a rugby point here. I really thought that Murrell, who was excellent, brought the best out of Handforth, and he reminded me of when he played for us and controlled a game. Both were outstanding, and I suspect that they will devvelop into a very potent partnership throughout the season."
That's the only way to go mate, what is the point of any thread deteriating into a slagging match
Murrell has definatley helped Tiger get back to his best, he takes a lot of the pressure that largely fell on Handforth last year with good organisation and kicking game.
I thought across the park both sides matched up pretty well, I just think if we had a bit more aggression in the centres that, (one miss timed tackle apart) a Walton type player brings we would have that much more go forward.
Players like Tyrer, Heaton, Patterson are too tame a lot of the times and too similar in their style of play to mix it up and upset the oppositon.[/quote]
I thought they were two really well matched sides. Your forwards were strong but I thought we were slightly better in the backs. On our forum someone said that we were weak in attack, but I disagree. Your defence, as ours, was strong. What does Thackray bring to your team? I really did not notice him at all tonight. Ambler was great too making some hefty yards.
