A wonderful win. I expected nothing but a loss after the sending off.

Wasn't doubting you Gary , saw a punch to the guy on the floor , but then looked away !

Excellent entertainment and a fantastic performance, sending off excepted. Was this only the second penalty conceded in the first half by us?

Can't condone punching but would be interesting to find out what triggered it. Kes had been on the receiving end of some 'attention' for a good 5 minutes running up to the incident and did well not to react.

Loved Tali's second try from the high kick - we're usually on the receiving end of these type of things!

Well done to all concerned, hope the knocks aren't too serious.

Connor stated that the guy punched him square on the nose, and in his words he just lost it and retaliated. He hopes it shows on the video of the game what started the incident.

Interesting to see such a committed performance without any dual reg guys.

I'd much prefer to see our own lads play, especially if they can turn in a team spirit like today.

Good point , agree 100%.
Interesting selection picking 6 props in the 17. Hope Milton is fit soon as he is more creative . Aizue seemed to do a lot of minutes today.

No problem Paul. I'm happy to move on to the 16 who did us proud.

They did indeed , should keep Steve Roebuck off here until we lose again.

I'd suggest the spine is starting to take shape:
9 - Kes
13 - Milton (hopefully sooner rather than later)
7 - Delaney/Hedges (good luck on the injury front)
6 - Howden
1 - Carr (quality, has been worth the wait)

The forwards had a good go-forward today to give the half backs something to work with, especially the front row.

I'm hopeful for the rest of the season if we can use today as a springboard.

Great team effort today.

I thought Jordon Howden looked a class act and made some very good decisions. He added an extra dimension to our play. We certainly need him to stay fit.

Well done to everyone. Excellent entertainment.
