That transported me back to Thrum Hall for a particular match with Halifax. Davies was mercurially brilliant that afternoon.

Back on the Harrison thread, I was surprised at the two year extension, as I was left wanting more from him, as he was good for his first couple of games, but dropped off after that. However, he was amongst a good number that dropped off, as last season went on, but Bullock is in front of him for a jersey in my opinion.

I remember this too as I travelled on one of the club buses. Those 2 Davies tries were absolute class and changed the game in our favour and got us through.

That's really encouraging to hear as well Uncle Rico, really encouraging.

More than happy with the contract extension for Harrison. Harsh to be too critical to date after recovering from serious injury, no pre-season and little go forward from the rest of the pack. To his credit, he has a good engine and will play more minutes and make more tackles than Kasiano, Mikaele and Bullock. He is also is younger than most and can cover most pack positions…ideal for the bench.

I do remember the excitement in Jonathon Davies (Challenge Cup) when he saw Philbin coming on after about 25 minutes followed shortly by Sitaleki Akauola. They had a spell (a few years back) where they were both very physical lively boys.

i used to be pretty much the lone voice about this, philbin and site off the bench were a very very good pairing, when sita fell out of favour that was when philbin became less effective

the usual suspects were more concerned with banging on about game time, and lack of hit ups or whatever, ignoring what was happening in front of them

Were you disappointed when Sita left?
