So Far So Good


Cook - First Try
By Cherry Picker
October 13 2014

Played six - won three. It's not a bad return when you consider this new Glaws side have faced the likes of Saints and Sarries away and beaten Tigers at home ..

Saints on the fist day of the season saw a crushing 53-6 defeat whereas Saturday's visit to Sarries saw a bonus point 28- 21 defeat. That is measurable progress.

For a time it looked like we would do even better after racing into a 13- lead. Rob Cook's try had Sarries supporters looking worried for a minute or two.

The home side did come back when Chris Wyles charged down a Billy Twelvetrees kick and Alastair Hargreaves buldozed over for their second followed by a typical Ashton effort.

We now know this team can compete with the best in the league and a top four place is definitely achievable.

Definitely improving but we need to cut out silly errors and there were far too many turnovers in this game which gave the initiative to Sarries
