Thought Hurrell embraced it pretty well yesterday,despite bombing a try..a blockbusting centre and a go forward pack..a halcyen day indeed..!

He did well and deserved a try, Can't knock him for that before half time, had the pass come off it was an easy try in the corner. If he'd have kept going and not got it down he'd be accused of been greedy and thinking he's too good for us. But his overall 80 minutes was decent. Would happily have him back again next week! Someone suggested we've got him for a month but not seen that myself

Hope we do have him for a month...They wouldn't have stopped him IMO,but it's just that..

Fantastic result for Fax.

Was interested to watch from afar following your display against Catalan.

Looks like Kyle Eastmound is building something ?

Cracking result to start the new season.I won't repeat what has already been said just to add i thought Hansen's kicking game was good especially in the second half. I am still not convinced about playing woodburn- hall in the halfs i get it from a defense point of view i just do not think it plays to his strengths in attack. And if we get to keep Hurrell we need to find a way of using him more, on the few occasions we got him early ball he caused them no end of problems and could of easily scored just before halftime if he gone himself. Just hope that McCarrons injury is not too bad with our small squad and him making a impressive start to his time at the club.

It's not that Hansen's kicking game is any better than Keyes,it's that it's now contested,particularly by Salty,which makes all the difference and what we've been needing for years...

Just re-watched the game, think I saw more defensive contact wins in one game that the entirety of last season. Was strange seeing Sheffield players on their back getting up slowly.

I noticed that when the squad was announced for the Sheffield game, Hurrell was sponsored by the Fax Trust ........ I didn't know DR players were sponsored so maybe there is some sort of short term loan? It'll be great if he's in this Sunday's team and should attract some more fans ...... the club needs to make sure they advertise his presence of course!
Great win at the seagulls, it's a breath of fresh air with a new batch of players/coach and dispensing with the old guard of years gone by.

Re: Sheffield away : Tue Feb 18, 2025 12:00 pm  

Would be risky to advertise Hurrell's presence if Saints were to make him unavailable on the day of the game, which could happen!

Re: Sheffield away : Tue Feb 18, 2025 12:14 pm  

Not if he's on a month's loan as opposed to DR..but who knows what the agreement is or what rules we're using this week...

Re: Sheffield away : Tue Feb 18, 2025 12:39 pm  

In the stuff sent to community clubs this week it's suggested that Hurrell will be playing.
