Another good win for the FC over the Catalan Dragons 28-12. I was very pleased with the performance, the defence looked fantastic and I was impressed by the teams fitness once again. We're not playing any fancy stuff, but that will come with game time, and as our half back pairing of Chris Thorman and Richard Horne really begins to click. Shaun Berrigan looked sharp at Hooker, and he can only improve with a long stint in his preferred position. Last season he had to play all over the place with all the bad injuries we had.
The pack are looking really excellent at the moment. They are not a big pack by today's standards, but seem to be punching above their weight, hopefully they can keep this up.
Still no news about Micheal Crocker's visa re-application. Hopefully we'll hear news very soon (fingers, legs, eyes, and everything crossed!)
Sad news about full back Todd Byrne getting an injury that will see him out for the rest of the season. It's looking likely that he will be released from the rest of his contract so we can bring a replacement in. Todd looked in great form this season, and the the last ditch tackle he made against Wigan in the season opener will live long in the memory. I hope he has a speedy recovery!Finally here's my 2nd rugby action video!! Taken from the game against Le Cats last Friday. It shows a passage of play leading up to the last FC try of the match scored by Tom Briscoe. Of course because of my excellent camera skills (and being a bit excited)I managed to miss the touch down! (doh!) But there is a rousing rendition of 'Old Faithful' near to the end as Danny Tickle converts the try. As you will see, a career in Hollywood beckons! :)

They've certainly started well
They certainly have. Although some quarters (naming no names) have said we haven't played anyone yet, but whoever we've played, the points are in the bag aren't they? :)
