Terrific display by our pack : Sun Jun 12, 2011 6:43 pm  

I have to say I am delighted with the way our pack performed today given that Graham, Puletua, Soliola and Wilkin all played less than 48 hours ago, given the conditions today and the Bradford pack was fresh after none of them played in the International OriginWilkin was outstanding and was my man of the match sensational display. Big raps to the other forwards aswell. Great shot by Sia Soliola on Mark Herbert!!! Draw a fair result and Im looking forward to the Derby next week.

Wilkin was outstanding, along with Roby.

Wilkin and Soliola were utterly sensational IMO.

Wilkin yes(he must have played at least 70 mins) but Soliola? how long was he on the pitch?

Jon Wilkin really must now get the praise he deserves. Played 71 minutes at break neck speed, put in some great shots and took a few in return. Great kicking game too 10/10 for me. Outstanding Performance.

Jon Wilkin and James Roby were superb for us today. Wilkin in particular was superb backing up from Friday. He's been our best player for the last 5 or 6 weeks IMO.

Jon Wilkin was fantastic. In fact, all the players backing up were excellent I thought. I don't agree about Roby though. Overall I thought we were poor really, even bearing in mind the conditions. We couldn't keep hold of the ball when it mattered, we took some daft decisions, tried to play wide when we needed to push forward with ball in hand because it was tippling it down. Kyle Eastmond did score a try though; no way should that have been disallowed. And it was good to see him ranting at the ref again. I think he's rediscovered his fire. Good on Jamie to hold his nerve and win yet another point for us.

James Roby was excellent. He created both our tries, tackled everything and made yards all with a fractured cheekbone!
