Defence wins Championships. 57 points, Thats fantastic defence from such a small town club, Now if we were a BIG CITY club we could keep them to maybe 43 points..... But Iâm happy with our small town club

I was on a Zoom call for the start of the game and gobsmacked to see we were down 23:12 at one stage. Next time I managed to sneak a look we were ahead! Watched all of the second half and our defence was great. Some victory that.

Good to see Crandall playing. He must need careful managing given he played off the bench. We need him on court but good to see he's being carefully managed. Impressive defence, especially in Q3 & 4. Felt like we were in control and comfortable then. Whole different kettle of fish at the weekend. Very rare for Raiders to beat us but this may be the strongest team we've faced out of Plymouth in many years.

Whatâs the earliest date Leicester could be crowned Champions? According to St Pat about 3-4 weeks ago...... You probably missed us receiving the trophy cause were only a small town

Whatâs the earliest date Leicester could be crowned Champions? If they win on Saturday against Plymouth and London lose then theyâd only need 1 more win or London to lose one more at any point

London do have the easier run in, so if they can actually have a bit of consistency they could make a fight out of it but feel Riders win today puts them 1 hand on the Championsip

The theoretical maximum points total for London is 46, Leicester currently have 42, therefore 3 more wins, 2 wins and a London defeat, 1 win and two losses for London or 3 London losses will confirm Leicester as champions.

To restrict Wolves to an average of 12 points per quarter over the last three quarters is quite a feat.

I could swing for that Wolves commentator, what a noise. It is shocking. Never was a mute button made more welcome.

It's completely disproportionate. I like to imagine his family get the same reaction when someone makes him a cup of tea.

Seems to have been agreed at the minute that Geno will only play c 2o ish minutes at present as compared to his usual 35 + minutes.
Due to this he is coming on the court so full of energy and keen to influence that he is even more dangerous! Last night was a good example, our runs etc seemed to be when geno was on the floor, even though still heavily favouring the left hand. Was going after the ball on defence even more than normal to great effect!

Conner playing nearly 40mins must have taken away some of his defensive intensity. Now that Geno is back, Conners defensive intensity should increase.

Conner Washington did a great job standing in for Crandall and showed why Paternostro has so much faith in him.

If Lions keep winning and we beat Raiders and Eagles then we could win the league by winning away at Lions on the 21st, Now that would really top the season off.
