Views from camp

Andy Titterrell said: “The team showed resolve to secure an impressive result in Pontypool, but our main takeaway was how the players united as a Brotherhood in their first game together as a squad. It was an encouraging display.

“There’s a lot to be excited about with this group, but our focus remains on embedding our identity through high performance and cohesion on and off the field.

“This week’s fixture offers another opportunity to implement our routines and processes ahead of a crucial month of development for a group that is already eager to impress.”
