Read it in the Mercury 10mins ago, fantastic news.... There seems to be a great feeling around the club at the minute which hopefully will continue next year...
cheers

Brilliant news about Cockerill, although, somewhat tempered with the bad news about Deacon.

I definetely thought he deserved the job ...... until I saw him in THOSE tights on Saturday. You have to question the man's judgement on that basis don't you?

Well done Cockers, and that's from one who thought he'd be a disaster. Yes, I'll eat my words, the man has done a good job. The coaching team are proving to be a real asset to the club, with Cockers at the helm.

Bring on the silverware! :smt023 :smt023

This should hopefully not just win us silverware this season, but also start to produce some consistent exciting rugby to watch and play. The players' confidence must be sky-high.
