What a difference 10 days makes! : Sun May 23, 2021 5:45 pm  

1 first team win at last

A few decisions on our favour

3 academy wins

Academy elite status won

One floodlight up and working

Thinks can change for the better quicker than we think at times.

Lets hope the boys use this as a springboard now wins can boost confidene.thought the players looked a propper group today whichisnt easy on back of all those defeats

I think it clearly shows that we have a number of players who perhaps need the supporters behind them to show their best.

Tupou looked much more like his old self today and as for Milky, he was outstanding.

So good to be back and to establish a lead to give the fans something to cheer about, and then to weather the storm and come back again to get a much needed and well deserved victory.

Let's back that up now with another couple in the next 2 games.

Although I do think the fans help but that was pretty much a full team with only TJ missing and it showed.

Have to say Kershaw and Kay may not be TJ level but both showed up well today.

We needs to keep Eaves on loan as long as we can, a genuine hooker.

Leigh lost
Cas lost

Hooker too but your point is well made.
Still it looks like Fifita and Lino were both struggling to make the game through injury. Let's hope they get past their niggles and can keep that team together.

Didn’t seem to affect Lino but Dave still not quite Dave yet. I have a feeling that when Dave gets back into the groove it will be worth the wait, hopefully.

Think every one knows Big Dave as cracked a rib ,so playing though the pain again for the team .Made one of too important hits if not at is best going forward

I thought we got the rub of the green with a few calls today, not enough to impact the game but helped make it that bit more comfortable. Been saying for a while that’d I’d move Tupou to the wing but based on his performance today he looked closer to his old self than he has done for a while. On that form he has to stay in the centre, Johnstone will be itching to get back for that kind of service. The hooker role seems to be causing us the most problems. Can’t wait to see how we look with Eaves and Kyle both fit.

Lino apparently has a back problem which meant he could hardly walk on Wednesday.
I assume, with no medical knowledge, that it's like muscle tightness and spasms. It can be debilitating but can be fixed too.
He was moving pretty freely today but I bet he feels it tomorrow.
