| Anyone think Kennedy could do a job for us next year?
Also, this ref is massively out of his depth. It's turning into a bit of a parody of itself how bad the officiating is in SL. Guess it's the byproduct of the unchecked arrogance that we've let them get away with.

| This referee is atrocious, has there been a set without a penalty or back to one? Can't stand this style of refeering, let things go. Unwatchable.

Same as last week and it's important, when you win, to call out how bad they are. Plenty of calls went for us today, but some absolute horrendous ones went against us too.
People say it balances out, but that's not right. They need to check their egos. Not going to the screen for the Mago try is a perfect example. Thinks he's right and doesn't care about facts, or even entraining the possibility he could have got it wrong.

| Today is the perfect example of how props win you pots. Dupree, Thompson, Mago, Hill, Faz, Nsemba (how good is he going to be) they couldn’t deal with it.
You can’t get carried away after round 3 but this year we can do something really special. I can’t recall a time we’ve had better squad depth.

| Too big, too strong in the forwards. Simple as that. When you consider who we had missing for that game too....

| Havard, Leeming, Byrne, Walters and Ellis (do we list Eseh yet) missing from that pack, then Marshall, Smith and French from the backs - some depth we have this year.

| I was only watching in the pub, with no volume, but the Mago effort looked like a try to me. What did you guys think? What did they say in commentary? He can pick a pass too, and Dupree continues to impress.

| Good win especially with the team we had out, won it massively in the forwards, thought the link between forwards and backs was a bit lacking but hardly surprising. Good experieince for the young players none of whom looked out of their depth which is a very positive sign.
The ref was poor - every time a game of rugby looked like starting he stamped it out at once, London are complaing about him especialy in the second half - think they need to reasses that one, they got as many bad and very bad decisions from him as we did - he was really poor for both sides. Refs are currently killing the entertainment for the fans which is such a shame.
Still onwards, three from three not bad at all - no post WCC hangover.

But that’s still twice as good as Dodd and Lomax

And Cooper!
Harvie Hill has seriously impressed me so far this year and will be hard to drop, hopefully Nsemba can go the same way.
Tyler Dupree is up there with the best props in SL at the minute. Mago is night and day the play he was from June 2022-May 2023, so improved.
Squad members like them two plus Eckersley, Farrimond and Forber coming in and doing solid jobs really make the squad look massive. Hopefully Douglas will get a game at some point.
Hopefully we get to a position when everyone’s fit, would be very hard to pick a first choice pack and bench.
All positive at the minute, Matty Peet is flying.

The fact that you get your info from Facebook pretty much says it all. No surprise though, except that you're not claiming to have been there with your daughters

at the ground I felt the Dupree effort wasn't a try but Paddy's was oh well it all worked out in the end.

| I’ve just got home and I can’t lie, I thought we were ordinary in a lot of what we did today but that isn’t a complaint. I totally get it and you’re not doing bad if you can run in 60 points, minus 8 or 9 players. There’s just quality everywhere and players are pushing each other for spots. Try and name a first choice 17 and it’s extremely difficult. We’re top, with a game in hand and we’ve played well within ourselves. You can’t be anything but pleased.

I think you may need to watch it again NK. We were anything but ordinary in the forwards. If you're talking about the free flowing rugby we're capable of them I agree we didn't do that today. The ref made it far too stop/start for that but the fact is we didn't need to anyway. The forwards were that dominant. How often do you see so many prop forwards on the score sheet?
A 60 point drubbing with half a team out is pretty impressive even if it wasn't impressively pretty.

| To put it quite simply...
Dupree is the best prop in SL. He's better than Thompson (who runs him close). He's better than Mago, Walmsley, Vaughan, Satae etc. Even if we paid ÂŁ500k, which we didn't, he'd still be an absolute steal.
Wardle is also an elite centre. I wouldn't swap him for anyone.

I think the referee stopped the free flowing rugby due to his constant use of the whistle, I wasn’t impressed with his performance. Anyway a good day out, a good result and top of the league. You can’t have everything.

| Thought Eckersley showed a great turn of pace,going to be a good player that one.
As said forwards controlled and dominated the game.
Dupree another excellent game as all the forwards had.
To think Cooper,Ellis,Marshy,Bevan,Harry,Havard,Byrne,Leeming- All missing ,that is some squad depth.
