I like the statement from that sponsor, and the fact that they’re already involved with Leeds and Bradford.

Can anyone give us an up-to-date squad list for Cornwall?

I've seen stories that they are making signings, but their first match is only about two weeks away. Do they have a full squad of players yet?

Grub will probably be suspended after the first game.

Would appear not. Their website records signing 16 players* and they've only recently advertised for a physio. Still plenty of work to be done with only 2 weeks to their first game. 

*not sure how well each position is covered

They’ve got enough players and have been training for a little while with the squad they’re going into the season with. Why they’re announcing them in dribble and drabs, I’m not sure.

Will be a baptism of fire this weekend but they certainly look like they will be a match for Raiders and Skolars. Doubt they'll be a pushover at home either.

Weak tackling letting Cornwall down so far, but with the players they’re starting with, it was always going to be difficult until they get up to speed. Two or three more seasoned professionals would stiffen them up considerably.

Its a learning curve and they will improve

Didn’t see the game, but that seems a fairly respectable start, especially with no practice matches and playing away against strong opposition. 

It was a game of three halves…

Crusaders came out all guns blazing and it looked like a rout was on the books, Cornwall rallied and put some points on the board over 25 minutes or so. They then seemed to tire and Crusaders out a lot of points on in the last 10-15 minutes. 
 

with a good coach, they’ve plenty to build on. For a brand new team, built from scratch, I thought they did really well for their first game.

After a positive start yesterday evening...

BBC Spotlight (local news for those not in the SW) quoted over 1k tickets sold for next weekend in the segment ahead of the game at NWC. Looks like we should get a very good gate next weekend with over a week of sales to add to that.

It sure looks like a party in Penryn next week. Largest attendance in L1 next weekend you'd expect...
