Massive plus in our resurgence... Our boys looked like we had gas tanks strapped to our flanks. Last few years we were a 50/30 side but we are still making 1‰ plays in the back halves. We look like a top 8 side 4 months before the end of the season ffs.

Fitness was the key in this game. Tigers really hurt us with their speed and inside balls in the first half but we stepped up in the 2nd half and they looked gassed.

You don’t often see our guys cramping either which I always reckon is a giveaway of poor fitness.

TBF - there was a lot of stoppages today

Having said that, it was heavy under foot, which leads to fatigue.

I don't think we fade in the last 20 minutes which has been common in the past decade

We are definitely more fit ! I look at our stats every week- we are running more metres than our opponents most weeks . We have incredible line speed in defence which is what Stephen Crichton highlighted has been the focus on the matty John’s show.
