Great defensive effort today. Danny Langtree was outstanding. Miloudi found a bit more space this week and made the most of it. Kes worked tirelessly.

We still don't look well-oiled in attack - two long range tries today sealed the deal but on another day those opportunities might not come our way.

To beat our biggest rivals sends out a good message to everyone else in the league. We've got a good platform to build on now after firmly putting last week's disappointment behind us.

Langtree and Kes stood out for me but there were plenty of other good performances too.

A decent defensive effort but still too 'clunky' in attack although in fairness, we can't get a settled half back pairing due to injury.

The two long range tries were the difference in a game which could otherwise have gone either way.

It was an unexpected win yesterday.
I thought Worky would be too organised for us and they nearly were.
We won it on a couple of bits of magic.
That aside Worky had the territory, which they and odd dumb penalties helped create and had us playing on the backfoot most of the game.
They will be gutted, but must be happy with their tactics, which only stubborn defence thwarted.

We need a steady halfback pairing and we will go well.
The side is in the very early stages of development and will only get better.
RH is slowly improving his forwards and the size of them so looking better.
Work is needed on offloading, I didn't see much of that yesterday.

How close is this division going to be?
Very, I would suggest!

Technique and discipline ...
RH please note.

Agreed. Couldn't believe he scored tbh. Id have been disappointed to concede that. Well done though Keiron. Fantastic effort. Joy to watch

The middle guy ran to block him going under the posts.
He never ran towards him and may have caught him ... but he didn't.
Shame.

Miloudi is getting all the plaudits for his first try, looks like its going to get try of the week on the OurLeague app.

However the more I look at it the more I am impressed with Doherty's composure and awareness to gather the ball and get it out so quickly, essentially taking three defenders out the game.

He is very much an unsu8ng hero of the club

I agree and said as much to my Dad at the game. He also didn't just fling it wildly but held on to make sure he had the defenders attention first. He got clattered and knew he was going to but did it anyway to give Hakim the space. I usually also find Doherty's defence to be exceptional
