Lets not forget the last couple of seasons Kirmond has played a lot of games carrying injury when he should in reality not have more so in the terrible season we had in 2014 when short in numbers Kirmo was one who put his hand up. Give the guy some credit he could have just laid back and rested up but we were short in numbers so he gave it his best shot. We now have a squad where if a player is injured he can be rested I think we will see some of the old Kirmond back this season.

True, I thought his leg drive in tackle was back to his best and he looked hungry.

Don't get the undercurrent of animosity in some quarters against Kirmond. Yes he may not have been at his best to say the least at times for whatever reason, but he strikes me as a decent, honest pro deserving of respect

Agree totally

Agreed he looked the part and took some tackling. He will be first choice alongside Ashurst IMHO with Crowther getting plenty more games this season.

Somebody has to take Anderson's place n these quarters.
