Hopefully the week off hasn't allowed any form to fade away and we can get a win to start moving in the right direction up the table! Bit surprised to see Whitely start at 10 over Eden but PL hasn't really shown any faith in him, and to be fair, Eden hasn't exactly stood out when given a chance.

Whiteley at 10 is a bit of a surprise. Good to see Haydon-Wood getting a start (his first in the Prem?) for Falcons, who badly need to turn their form around.

[Peej]

I think Haydon-Wood played a bit at the beginning of the season?

Whitely at 10 is a bit damning of Eden.

[jimKRFC]

Siva had a good game and decent win considering the 3 yellows!

[Mellsblue]

Bristol Bears’ social media game is always top drawer.

[FKAS]

Seems to be a lot of disgruntled Newcastle fans wanting Deano to go, could be a change at the helm in the summer at Falcons.

[fivepointer]

Been there 10 years and has done a good job but maybe its time for someone else to take over.
The team are really struggling right now.

Not seen the game yet, but someone just posted (on the Bristol board) that of 9 Bristol yellow cards this season 6 from come from Carley in 2 games!
