[FKAS]

Bristol all over Falcons. Brocklebank thuggery does for Sheedy and then Earl throws an awful pass in his own 22 so 14 man Falcons are 7-0 up. Falcons defence looks up for it but I think they'll tire.

From what little I saw, Falcons’ passing was shoddy and led to their demise. Deano would not have been happy.

[fivepointer]

Fairly routine win for Bris after a scratchy opening quarter. Malins was very good. Newcastle continue to slide, their good start now well behind them.

Finally got round to watching this! Not a bad performance after a dodgy first 20. Malins got the head lines but Uren did well I thought, Morahan looks to be getting back into form and Harding looks better each week. I think Joe Joyce is also going under the radar with the work he puts in round the pitch and looks to be getting better on the handling skills as well.

[fivepointer]

Harding does look very good.
Uren and Joyce are rock solid club men who have improved under Lam. Getting consistently good performances from players like these is a big reason Bris are doing so well.
