MOM for mine, organizing in defence, seemed to know exactly when to come into the line, a last ditch tackle, great pass for raynor and generally got involved brilliantly.

great first game for him. looked solid and he was easy my MOM.

have too agree he had a very good game looked very comftable at fb

Agreed, the full back shirt will be his for the rest of the season and he will get the No1 shirt next year.

Was very impressed with him, as already mentioned he has only been in the country a few days and he reallly stood out tonight. His organisation of the defence was good to see as well.

Was pretty much in line with his pass for Raynor's try, looked ok from our angle, nice and flat!!

So have we drawn the line under the suggestions to play him at centre then?



It was good near me in the south stand as well tonight. I heard 2 behind me in the 1st 5 minutes saying they were disappointed he was at fullback, he should be at hooker. They'd changed their minds by the end.

Far too good for us. agar will coach his flair and enthusiasm out of him though

great player,
positioning was spot on

I thought he marshalled the defence very well, the big positive for me was his reading of the game, some of his positioning for the kick throughs were excellent.
No disrespect to Richie W but Tansey was my MOM.

Thought he did well tonight. Was my man of the match. Good positioning, great play to set up Raynor, just how a full back should link up with the play.

Bye bye Motu and thanks for the momories.........he line attack was superb for Raynors try......he came from the middle of the pitch on the loop......My m.o.m as well

He will not last,he looked interested.

Very good debut, swept up well at the back, good positioning and a great link up for Raynor's try..well done to him.

Also thought Calders was great...my MOM.

My MOM tonight. Looked extemely comfortable at fb, organised the defence well, positional play was spot on, came into the line well and threw the ball about, good on him. Looks like he could become a very valuable member of our squad and I think he could turn out to be a very shrude signing.

He was at Leeds after all....

Worrying thing is youre not wrong.

dont know about anybody else but i would be tempted to play him at stand off next week and put rich horne at full back, think rich has lost too much weight and is really struggling in attack where as tansey may give us more attacking options

Why on earth do that when he's just looked the best option we've had at fullback all year? I've no problems with dropping Horne, but it would make much more sense to put Whiting at 6 instead IMO.

Horney seems to be struggling a bit for form this year (after almost a year out last season...hardly surprising). But.......He is in the same brackets as the rest of the team at the moment. They need to have a good look at themselves before the KR game......It is a form-turner as Rovers proved in Cardiff two seasons ago. Anyone can win this and IMO the pressure is on KR to stuff us.....That can be a massive advantage in our favour

I agree, I would drop Horne as he does absoloutely feck all with the ball in hand any more.

One of a few bright sparks in a very boring game of rugby.

Good positioning for the fielding kicking, and when he needs to, he can certainly move a bit.

Well done Tansey.

Washy is due back soon isnt he? I'd have:
1. Tansey
6. Washy
7. Berro
13. Whiting

That wont happen

He didn't say it would, it was his opinion on what he'd have.
