Danny Ford, third team captain and long-time club servant, joins us to look at how the team has been going this season.

We talk results, playing in the mud, the new wave of players, and how this season has become very much a family affair.

When skipper Lewis Steadman was injured, Ryan Conyard stepped up and led the team to a 90-point win on a memorable day for the first-time captain.

It continued the team's good run in January and ensured that for two straight weeks, the firsts and seconds enjoyed victories.

We look back on those wins, talk about captaincy and how much Ryan likes life at inside-centre.

Luke Beasley has one of the most important roles at the club. As second XV captain, he is responsible for ensuring his players keep the first XV on their toes, making sure they are ready to step up, and bringing up players who have impressed for the third XV.

It is onerous, but he's loving it, especially as the team are beginning to fulfil their potential after a slow start to the season.

More recently they had the only win of the past weekend, and Luke looks back on that win, his anointment as second XV captain, his move to hooker, and forward to a weekend when all three teams head east.
