Back in my hotel and over the moon with that result, we had a 20 minute spell of what can only be described as quality rugby league but the last 20 was all about us blowing out our bottoms but we were in control and never looked like getting cought

Always a potential banana skin of a game as you never know which Skolars Team will turn up then again that can go for us too lol.
Listened to the game sounded like we always had enough in the locker to win it, those last 20 or so minutes of the first half sounded like some champagne rugby inspired by Dion with Forster and Cooper dominating the middle and at 32 nil tbh the game was won, after that I think it was a bit of foot off the throttle to save the lads from further burn out after a busy 2 week period and the long and hard trip and match at Catalan. I’m sure Fozzie will have been more than happy to come away with 2 points and what sounds like no loss or injury to any of our small squad.
Nice 7 day break until a Big home game which isn’t going to be a season definer but one if we win would give the team and Club a massive boost for the crucial run in for a Top 5 finish. A win might just encourage some stay away fans back too.
Great to see Jordan Burns back in the 19, once he’s back fit it will be like gaining a quality signing and much needed cover and a selection headache for Fozzie.
On the subject of signings or at least a long term loan especially in the forwards we are in need of a Big Unit hopefully the coaching team have some irons in the fire, we’ve some big games rolling in against some top and big opposition our forwards are well battle hardened but bound to be feeling it doing it week in week out with many carrying niggles and knocks.
All in All 2 points another +18 on the points diff and a game in hand well done and onwards and upwards.

Always happy with a win, even more so after the miles the lads have done over the past 8 days.

Totally dominant first half bar the first 5 minutes or so. Nearly collapsed 2nd half and the two tried we got proved vital. Londons forwards got on a role 2nd half and we struggled to contain them. We looked knackered which is to be expected and the heat was unbelievable.

End of the day a fine win over a good team. Hell of a month coming up. We could be joint top by the end of it.
