All the players have returned as healthy as when they left - in fact, they may even be in better condition. |
And, until we get that right, we're not going to win games. |
Bryan played the first 40 minutes and he came through alright. He was very rusty but he did quite well. He is a lot of weeks away from being the player the club bought and I won't rush him. I'll see how he is on Thursday. He definitely won't be in the 13 for Friday for but I could put him on the interchange (bench). |
Danny and Dennis really ran the game for us, ... It was a great effort from Dennis, who had to slot in at hooker when we lost Terry Newton, which meant we moved Danny to scrum half and played without a stand off. They're really starting to get an understanding going now. |
He would have liked to play Tri-Nations but he wouldn't be able to train during the week and you've got five hard games in a row. |
I have been waiting for Sean to come back every week, it is like putting Christmas back. |
I have spoken to Danny and he doesn't want to leave, I know that I don't want him to leave so hopefully that will put an end to the matter. |
I hope the way Danny played will put an end to talk about him leaving. I don't want him to. |
I played Tim in a grand final when he was only a youngster and he's a good character to bring in. |
I thought Danny was the best player on the pitch, |
I was just trying to give him some advice. There wasn't a swear word involved, nothing. He was very critical at half-time of the referee and his linesmen. I thought someone had been shot, there was so much squealing. |
I'm happy for the players, I'm happy for the supporters, I'm just happy to be in the next round. |
I'm not the right person to ask but it was really tough for the fans. I think the League should give them some money back. I could only see 40 yards away from me. |
It is a big blow to us. He has been our best take-up forward so far and the fans love him. But these things happen and you have to take them in your stride. |
It's in the early stages at the moment, |
