I have been privileged to see some wonderful champions at our club, Nichols to jiffy.

But I am going to say right now that I am having the privilege to see a young man in Patrick Cripps who may well outstrip them all.

This kid is an absolute genius.
He's contracted till 2017.
Sign him up for another 10 years right now!!!!

If we were trying to orchestrate a loss, I'm glad we failed. No place for that attitude at PP.

Cripps should have just sealed the rising star award after todays efforts.

However, they are more likely to give it to the great white hope at the Dees because its more fashionable to give it to the key forward.

Boys looked genuinely happy to win. If there's tanking going on, they're bloody good actors.

Cripps must be a lock for the B+F, surely ?

Whew!
A better side would have beaten us but it's great for the boys, they've been under enormous pressure but they played with real heart today even if the skills were at our usual level.
Murph's injury almost spelt doom but they plugged away without him, until he was injured he was white hot.
Can't say much about Cripps, he's the real thing all right.
A few scrubbers put in hard, notably Tutt who made mistakes but gave it 110%.
It beats the crap out of losing no matter what pick we get in the draft.
