Hugh Campbell Quotations

We're looking at three to four months recovery, and as well as missing a lot of games for us he now has a lot of work ahead to get back for the Six Nations,

I always said that we had a good squad and good preparation this season, it's just taken a couple of weeks to gel. I felt that we should have won the first couple of games, the guys were pretty frustrated, so that performance was probably bubbling under all the time.

He was the type of person that made everyone around him want to be as enthusiastic and passionate as he was. From a winning and losing standpoint, he had a lot to do with the Eskimos winning.

He requested an early release to pursue his playing elsewhere so it's by mutual agreement he's leaving.

People are going berserk. They were lined out in the street yesterday, filling their tanks and topping off,

We won't know until later how serious it is although it doesn't look too clever.

We got ten points up and seemed to think that all we had to do was turn up and play,

It would have invalidated making the team if Jackie Parker wasn't on the team

Teams in the other Celtic League countries are playing in front of seven and eight thousand. We are not getting an advantage from being at home.

Actually, I can't run or catch quite as well as I used to anymore,

A number of the guys have been suffering from sore throats and upset stomachs. So to be fair to them we're giving them as long as we possibly can to get over it so we have the largest pool of players available for selection,

It was flat out there. There was no atmosphere which definitely did not help,

Effectively, we have only one full-time prop who is fit - Lee Harrison. Euan might make it for the weekend but we will probably have to ask for a club prop like Eric to step up.

It was a fantastic squad performance. Our defence was outstanding throughout the game. Tonight's result has banished the ghost of our first two performances when we did not finish teams off. The guys were focused and determined and really played as a team. It was the kind of performance that has always just been bubbling under the surface.

It wasn't as easy as you think. It's hard to stay awake that long.

You can't afford to miss crucial tackles and expect to get away with it. If you miss tackles against almost anyone in the Celtic League you are going to give away scores and certainly we were punished today.
