Aside from the win, the most pleasing aspect for me was that our pack didn't get bullied again. We've had no answer to their front six in the last few years.

Has anyone done a welfare safety check on Wilkin?

How refreshing was it to see Walmsley kept in check

It’s been said on here, but the attitude of sangare and I think O’Connor as well, made a big difference to the not being bullied. They don’t take a backwards step. I also think Tet stood up at certain points.

Credit Wellens for realising they should be accountable for their own discipline and that they didn’t react well to certain incidents.

When it was 24-24 with 3 minutes left, to Tetevano’s credit, he shot out and put a cracking hit on Walmsley.

The pack and halves were impressive tonight, I’ll gladly eat my humble pie

I think this shows that Sezer will only play to his effective best when Leeming isn’t on the field. There styles don’t mix at all. We should stick with O’Connor at 9 for foreseeable, as his D is much stronger anyway.

Can smith great as usual, new signings all stood up and contributed, but I honestly don’t think we would have won the game if Sam Walters didn’t come on - he was outstanding!
