Barbeary ahead of Tom Willis? That’s quite a vote of confidence! Not sure how Willis will feel though

Odogwu at 13?!?!?

I believe Willis got a knock last week so may be benched for recovery. No way Morris would normally start ahead of either of them.

Have you never seen him play? He’s got a wicked step; he goes in-out, in-out, then sort of shakes it all about, knees bend, arms stretch straight over the try line.

Booj will be feeling miffed. Though last time I saw him his defence.....wasn’t great.

If he’s honest, he’ll know that at Prem level he’s a 12 and 12 only. One of the few players, possibly the only one, who can’t switch between the two with ease.

Arf, it was at 13 where he defended like a 12

I did not expect to see this scoreline.

Not seen but we lost our starting locks in the first minute to hia checks i believe, with Gaskell being of permanently. At that point we really were stiffed in the lineouts I imagine.

That’s didn’t cause utter wank hands in the backline.

Like i said, not seen it and i don't regret that!

Nor me. They are completely confounding our expectations. Good on 'em.

They now have 2 priceless away wins.

Some proper poo hands at times. Newcastle looked really competitive to be fair. And momentum swings did for you.

Not only that, they’ve beaten two of last season’s top 4 away and 5th at home. Huge round of applause.
