Who was it who claimed the board tends to quieten down when we're doing well? 11 league wins from the last 12, including beating the top three... thank you and well done to all involved at the club in turning things around.

Last night we showed plenty of effort and proved ourselves to be the better side in the end. Matagi impressed and looks a real quality acquisition - 41 tackles & 134 metres - and our 'Championship rejects' once again repaid the faith that whoever-it-was-who-was-responsible-for-signing-them showed in them.

The level of commitment is commendable and was typified in the last few minutes when, with the game won, we remained as determined as ever to stop Hull from scoring.

The 'Wake the Giant' festival is taking place in Warrenpoint this weekend - someone should tell them that Woolford, Andrews and co. have already started.

Shame it’s two weeks till the next one- will probably have to suffer the wakey contingent on our board for a while though.

matagi done just fine in his two games so far and like woolford says taai has upped another gear since he arrived, they have played together before and thriving from him joining.

roche is roche, got his chance and done ok but nothing special... soon as murphy and lawrence are back wont see him again

Played ok first half but in second gear lacking intensity...second half upped the tempo and looked much better. Roche ran in strong but knocked back a fair bit in contact and knocked on a couple of times. Matagi seemed to play a lot of mins looks good ...nice step to beat first man. Really impressed with O'Brien last few weeks and great burst to set up Gaskell

Cheers Gaz, really been impressed with AOB this season
