If you venture into the Oak section, you'll see their team news too, would be great to have some support at home for them tomorrow. Bar open and World Cup matches on the TV.
Three changes from last week, may be tactics for a tighter game with forward power.
I think the only changes are that Ryan starts and Sam is on the bench with Dan Brough replacing Freddie on the bench. IMHO I would start Freddie with Sam Pointon as a back up with Dan coming in at 15.
Any 5 pints for 5 points in sight? Think not!. We'll just have to get promotion the hard way. We did exceptionally well - were we down to 13 for a while?....that makes victory even sweeter........
A good performance today. Very much in control until two yellow cards within a minute or so around 65-70 mins. The first was the first infringement after a team warning, no idea what the second was for.
Mose were always threatening in attack (and showing some patience) and showed SOME good discipline in defence. The high tackle interpretation is causing us issues still and will cost match points eventually.
Before the cards it was 15-25. When we got back up to 14 it was 27-25 having conceded two tries. Mose then attacked threateningly before knocking on, but after an almighty shove at the resulting scrum, the ball squirted out an alert Mose players forced DMP to hold on under the posts. The kick was the last of the game.
This Mose side is showing the benefit of starting the recruitment with a settled core and it was plain to see how much today's victory meant at the final whistle.
Two weeks off now. 'News from the Treatment Room' last week suggested that Suvwe Obano and Will Safe should be ready after this break which would provide welcome reinforcements in an area where we have been threadbare recently.

Yes, a good time for break, get a fully fit squad back with tough fixtures to follow. Wins by Lions and Taunton today shows their wins against top sides that anyone can beat anyone on the day. Come on Mose......

Pat Zindi went off with concussion and Tuoyo Egodo hobbled off with his ankle, but two weeks break ought to see them both fit again.
Up to 7th in the league. Sale FC next at home, they're bottom and looking really out of sorts compared with last season.
Up to the rarified atmosphere of 7th let's hope we can build on this with a few weeks off and getting a few injured players back. Great result for the team which should build confidence for the games to come. Come on Mose !

Wasn't sure which break this was referring to? But, none the less, we have managed a couple of victories, so maybe not that threadbare 🙂

The 'break' referred to is the gap from now until our next game on November 4th.
The fact that we have been down to our last three fit back rowers and only two fit second rowers and, therefore, not been able to have specialist replacements on the bench for the last two games justifies the use of the term "threadbare" regardless of the excellent and welcome results.

Can't see us signing players at this time of the season. It's would be down to loans. Leicester Lions seem to have a tie up with Tigers, so may be our friends at Coventry can help. We don't have the weekly chat with DOR anymore so the opportunity to be asked a question has been lost.
