He's the new special one

Not a great surprise we won considering the opposition, but we did what we had to do, even if it was 'ugly' in patches.

There's plenty of improvement left in us, which is good because we need to peak in September/October, not in May.

Well done lads, a win is a win

How big is Gaz Ellis for us? No coincidence we play our best stuff when he's on. Thought the season was over when he went down badly. Worst minute of the season for me til he got up. What a leader.

Was a pretty dismal game wasn't it, never seen so many really simple primary school errors such as those forward passes but in the end it doesn't matter! Carlos was incredible when he came on, really changed the mood.

I think the thing I noticed the most though, and a lot recently, was the desire by the lads to play together. I'm thinking of the moment near the end where we pushed one of their players into touch (I know that is vague but cant remember which one of them it was). Ours players were celebrating like they had scored a try. When Gaz was on the floor they were all immediately over to him to see if he was okay. That bonding and brotherhood that they have is something that cant be manufactured. It is the mood in the dressing room and the time they spend together off the field that does that and in the end shows they genuinely like playing together and like each other in general. Great to see!

Well said. Over to you bumpy. It's one thing to admit you were wrong. Everyone knows that anyway but you should apologise for the slurs and pathetic name calling.

I actually don't think it was as "dire" or "terrible" game as some think. Yes, some daft stuff, but actually some great defensive play from both teams. Some brilliant tries.

I think the issue is we didn't blow them away like some (not me!) expected.

Or how about this? We leave it alone, and enjoy being top of the league.

Bumpy left early with the other kr fans.

That's down to Radford. He's got rid of the "bad apples" and brought in players who will bond and play for each other.
