Where did you hide all the coaches? Only saw 1 on the way in and half a bus full of kids...oh I get it, that was a typo and you meant to say 200

Mason did run brilliantly, no denying that at all today, best I have seen him play

Griff and Scully also played very well I though too. Hope its a sign of things to come.

agree with you about mason. thought he was your best prop today, and griffin went ok. moore went well and will become a class act but scully gave away posession once and i think 3 or 4 penalties. he did seem more enthusiastic today, but when he was at wakey i always thought he was lazy.by the way , good win today.

1st thing - Bentham - i didnt really think he did got a lot wrong today and i'm usually a harsh critic of his - but apart from the usual, eg missing offsides - which both teams were equally guilty of - i couldnt see what some of our fans were calling him for ! most of the decisions our fans questioned were correc calls due to our player's indiscipline.

Now the performance - Keith Mason take a bow son
Magnficent performance today ,absolutely outstanding at just about every carry. its no coincidence that when him and crabtree went off the team faltered but picked it up again when they returned.

Faiumu/Fulton/Wild/Crabtree/Moore - again all very good today
in fact i cant think of anyone who had a bad one today !!
the only thing that worried me slightly was the fact we let a poor side come back and nearly nick it - luckily we found another gear in the end.

Think Brough proved today his heart isn't in wakey - maybe a sign he will be in C&G next year ?.

Anyway another victory over our Feline friends and up to 3rd - the futures bright !!

There was so much of the away stand neeted off, you'd have had to fill the unnetted part to get 2000 in there, around 14-1500 I'd guess.

Thought we'd win easily the way we started, but then we let them back into it, and to a point where I thought we may end up losing. Although as soon as Eorl and Griff come on second half we just seemed to step it up again, with Faimu running them ragged, he just seems to be able to find a side step and create a yard, which got him a couple of tries today.

Brett was hot and cold, some fantastic kicks for goal and some great plays, but at the same time a couple of poor passes when the line was beckoning - still I'd rather have him than not.

Thought Leroy should have had the winger and stopped their last try.

Bentham pulled us up for offside about 3/4 times yet let Wakey off numerous times, and how tthe line judge could not see the Wakey player step outside touch I don't know!

Still 2 points in the bag, Quins next up

Have to agree, your defence and general forward play just laid up the platform for the win. Thought if we had scored to make it 14/16 - 12/ could have been a different game as we seemed to have the ascendency at that point, but in the end I think your guys deserved to win.
