Falcons pin faith in their local lads

THERE’S no silver bullet, no overnight fix, and Newcastle Falcons aren't pretending otherwise.

But what’s happening at Kingston Park is real - a future vision rooted in honesty, hard work and homegrown hope.

Under the guidance of Steve Diamond, it appears the Falcons are laying down a long-term blueprint. It's not flashy, it's not fast, but it's clearly focused.

While the evolution of the club under Diamond's guidance remains a work in progress, the emphasis on nurturing and trusting local players is already bearing fruit and offers a compelling glimpse into a promising future.

This is particularly crucial considering the Falcons don’t possess the same financial might as some of their Premiership rivals. Honing their strengths from within is not just a philosophical choice, but a strategic imperative.
