Good win tonight defended our goaline better than at any point this season
A win that should lift a bit of pressure off everyone at the club. We badly needed that.
As people have said Handley and Briscoe did a really nice job in tough conditions.
Pleased for Tui to get that try.
The whole pack worked had with Merrin again outstanding and big Ava did well particularly in hos 2nd spell.
Newman the star though. Hes really showing the ability I've seen in the academy. Hes a good defender at this level now, hes strong, athletic and got great footwork and speed. An outstanding young talent and weve plenty more in the wings.
Let's not make out everything in the garden is rosy again, were miles off and Wakey was poor but we showed a lot of heart and spirit tonight.
Weve lead games by 6 and 8 points this year and we all felt we would lose it late on but I never felt that tonight. We seemed in control defensively throughout which was pleasing.
Let's hope we can build on it now.

Agreed, on the Tui try it was an exceptional piece of defending from the wingers and to give Tui the credit he took that really well, its harsh of people to say he went for the easy option, he didn’t, he was really aware that the wingers had tracked back and took exactly the correct option, there is a talented player in there and in a better ‘team’ he may shine, not sure whether we have that luxury at the moment though.
Merrin was again outstanding and a big wrap to Watkins who worked his socks off and was very unlynot to get the try
