Tom Perry revealed the key ingredient for his big points haul for Glasgow Tigers against Redcar Bears.
The Shropshire-based racer revealed a downpour just before the match was crucial and now the 24-year-old wants rain every week in Glasgow so he can keep racking up big scores.
Perry had his best meeting in Tigers colours, scoring eight points plus four bonus points, and put his good form down to having plenty of dirt on the surface.
Tigers’ talented reserve said: “The track was packed down but it was because of the rain that it was so grippy.
“I’d prefer it to chuck it down like that every week. It produced natural dirt instead of them having to water it all day.
“They (the track curators) know that we all like the dirt, so if they keep setting it up like that, it’ll be a bit of a fortress. People will be scared of coming to the place.”
Looking back at Saturday, he said: “Everything clicked and it worked well for me. Even when I wasn’t making every single start, I was still making passes.”
Perry also contributed five points with one bonus point in Glasgow’s draw at Edinburgh on Friday.
