According to a feature in the Manchester Evening News, Ray Taylor is delighted with the Richard Pachniuk's form as Hornets remain unbeaten in the Northern Ford Premiership. In the article he said: "Richard has been in sensational form this season . He is scoring tries, he is making them and he is standing out - he’s so consistent."

"Richard is a total pro whose presence is great for team spirit. It’s as if he has never been away. I’m delighted for him because he is such a good team player. He is one tough lad who goes out there and puts his body on the line."

Ray also has praise for emerging speed merchant Casey Mayberry : "This lad is a bit special and he is really starting to come to the fore in a big way."

He closed by saying: "I’m delighted with the rugby we are playing and to see us again challenging, it’s still early days yet, but the spirit in the side is superb."
