And once again, the defence was very impressive. Sheffield's tries, both came from short range kicks, one of which rebounded off the goal post into the player's hands. Difficult to legislate for that! That's two impressive points differences, we have amassed - something we have struggled with, these past two seasons.

I know Sheffield looked demoralised, and that leads to suggestions they are weak. Well, there was no way they were allowed to play - unlike last season, when they caused us all sorts of problems.

Thanks to the players and coaches, from one very happy Leyther!

Hi Ian, Yes i'm well thanks,hope you are too. Excellent performance yesterday and i'm feeling more confident now. I stayed in the Centurion pub yesterday, but i do pop in the Legends now and again. Had a good sesh yesterday and feeling a bit rough......I think i need a drink.





See ya soon.

Top performance from the lads yesterday.We`ve finally got a Big mobile pack who look good going forward but also immense in defence.Looking forward to the York game on Sunday.

Think we played with an immense amount of speed and control at times and the whole squad played their parts very well.

I'd agree that we did switch off for moments in the first and second halves, especially after the biff and binning of Ben there was the usually massive defensive set but I think that amount of aggression coupled with it being close to half time things can be forgiven for coming off the gas, especially being so far up by then.

People around me were clambering for more dynamism and risk to be taken and from a scoreline point of view I can understand that, rather than the sometimes safe and "negative" rugby (kick to touch etc) that we saw but I'm not particularly meithered about that.

The same Sheffield players who pushed us close last season still stood out, including Ward and his general housery.

A very promising start to the season.

I don`t mind the kicking out to touch even with a commanding lead,it`s called game management and something we`ve been sadly lacking in previous years,it shows a more structured mentality IMO.

For me one stand out player Sheff Have is Gudzek,he played in centre yesterday but normally is a full back, I thought he is a decent player.
