Hello and welcome to our Monday evening edition of The Valiant for June 15.

We’re talking to Connor Hall after you voted him your player-of-the-year for this past season. But we’re not just dwelling on 2025/26, we’re also talking to Connor about hopes and expectations for next season, his own playing record and his path into the professional game.

And that’s just part of tonight’s edition as we get your verdict on the new shirts, discuss allocated seating and recall a big win in our Top 100.

As usual, if you’d like to subscribe then welcome aboard. And if you’d like to see more about what we do first then you could have a free trial or check out edition 432 which is available in full here.

If you are already a subscriber then please read on for edition 469…
