Absolutely fantastic performance today from every single player. Roden looked back to his best in the second half and Forber was excellent all round. Heaton and Robinson were sensational driving the ball out from our own line. Brocky and Foggy had great games, especially Matt, on the right hand side. Clough and Martin controlled the ruck throughout and the three remaining props(after Dave's injury) were superb especially the two Luke's. Bravo was magnificent on the left along with McCully who never stopped working. Noone playing 80 mins in that heat and performing that well was heroic.Bentley had his best game of the year by a mile. Casey was sublime off the bench, offloading, tackling, passing and carrying the ball. We must sign him and Bravo for the rest of the season.

Haven looked a good team but we just outperformed them all game. The two halves are very good ball players and their pick is very tough led superbly by Beattie. No surprise why they are near the top and why they will extremely close to promotion.

Well played lads.

Performance of the season so far in my opinion. Defence was superb. Playing up the hill first half and going in ahead at half time was a great effort. Then in the second half when we defended 3 sets in a row on our line and then to break away and score showed tremendous team spirit.

Rats seems to have re-discovered some form which makes a massive difference to the team. Great efforts from all but to name just a couple, great to see young Robbo and Foggy playing so well, they are starting to look like great finds and have made the step up to first team very well, let's hope we have a few more in our winning reserves.

We just look far more solid defensively than we have done all season and the attack is really coming together.

Great team performance and if they can play like that then they can begin to climb the table. The key now is consistency which we haven't had all season.

Best of luck to Elli. Anyone know what happened just after he was stretchered off. There seemed to be a further delay while the match commisioner came on and took something from the field. Then a message went out for match commissioner to meet CH at the tunnel? What was going on there then?

That's the good stuff, now a bit of a moan. It saddens me that the ground is beginning to deteriorate further. Around the bottom end of the ground (car park and side terrace in particular - main stand side) some of the weeds are 2 and 3 foot high and what little standing area we had is being further reduced. You needed to take a strimmer to the bottom corner (main stand side) to make yourself an area to stand. A lot of good people pitched in to get the ground ready last season and now it's going backwards as it hasn't been maintained. Crowds are dwindling further, less than 600 today and unless something can be done to start to improve the spectator experience they will continue to fall. Why still no announcement on ownership / plans?

One would assume that Elli was given a pain killing injection and again only an assumption but think they were searching for the "sharp" that would have needed to be disposed of properly. Don't know why the Match Commissioner was asked to meet at the tunnel.
