I am more than happy with a bonus point especially considering we didn't hit top gear
However I still cannot understand how the Wuss try was awarded. Barnes is a top ref and did a very good job on the night but the TMO led decision to award the try baffles me

Sorry W4arriorz1980, I lived in the Vale of Evesham for a number of years and graced Pershore's pitch at Wyre Piddle- just can't remember a lot of grapes being grown.!!!
I think you lost your way tonight against a well organised fit Falcons team.All you had left towards the end was a kicking game which was nt working.
It's a pity for you your two ball carriers were left on the bench for so long as they certainly made inroads.

You say Joel missed touch too many times.You can only say that if he was trying to find touch and I think our kicking game was about territory and not about touch finding. Our defence was awesome no matter who we were playing. Soak up pressure in your own 22 for 5 minutes and then score is a great recipe.

Callum Green is certainly one of our unsung heros, his work rate is outstanding.
All in all a good well deserved start. Bring on the sharks!! COYF

So it was only because Worcester played badly that the falcons won?
Oh dear Lord you wuss fans have such high opinions of your team....

Additionally, we have a good squad and players who fight for each other. Those are qualities you simply just can't buy.
I like the way we're developing organically a bit like Exeter, building slowly and just adding a sprinkling of star quality but with no egos. After last season's 8th position I genuinely believe we can finish in 6th position.

Can I just ask peoples opinions of Calum Chick.
The lad played very well last night, and looks to be developing into a cracking player as most of us expected...but where do you see his long term position..? 6,7 or 8? I'm just not sure ultimately that he's big enough for 8 (though I appreciate he's still young and will develop physically) and suspect that it'll be one of the flank positions.
Whats your thoughts?

It wasn't just Warrior's defensive frailty that aided our win. They had plenty of attacking opportunities which we repelled. We defended well and used the boot to control territory. We won because we were better. End of...

As for chick, I agree. He looks bigger and stronger every time i see him and carried so aggressively. I think he wil develop into an all court type of 8 and remember that we are used to billy v for England but he is actually of similar dimensions to one Mr reid, of NZ

Its funny ive just checked Calums stats and he is just under 6'4 and currently 16st.6,which will increase as he matures physically through weights etc. I honestly didn't think he was quite as big as that. He certainly has the athleticism, speed and ability required.
So much talent coming through our academy at the moment...great to be a falcon fan.
Quote:We did beat Worcester hands down. However, I agree that we have yet to be fully tested. London Irish will be interesting. They look pretty solid.Falcons_Thunder
I think people are getting a bit carried away with the win over a poor Worcester. If are wanting g to progress to top six we should be beating teams like Worcester hands down. It'll be interesting to see next weeks game away to Sale.
