Thanks Chris, nice to see the academy winning, keep the production line flowing. Not too worried about our result on Friday night, not many sides win up there with a full squad, our lads performed well in places and I agree that the time may well have come for Dan Cole to start less games now, he has been one of our finest servants to the club, but as you hinted in your summary, a lot less penalties from the right hand side of the scrum, Joe has earned his chance to shine.
One of 5 currently as you say Chris, but with LDB off to Edinburgh and Ol King Coley in the twilight of his career, (altho’ obvs still an amazing role model and mentor for the youngsters) but unless we bring someone top drawer in, then JH will be pretty much top of the tree in another season or two in my opinion.
Another excellent edition Chris with some very insightful thoughts on Friday evening; we can’t keep starting matches so slowly and giving teams 13 point head starts, but despite getting nothing from Friday’s match points wise, I am still heartened by the Club’s progress this season.
The last part of this week’s edition was Kyle Sinckler’s brutally honest interview after his MOTM performance for Bears v Bath. There were two sad things that came out of that interview imo, the headline of “Sinckler, my anger at Lions” in The Rugby Paper on Sunday and Ugo Monye making it about him when he was asked what he thought of Sinckler’s interview.

Im sure Joe Heyes will be around for some time.
