| Not an easy league. Played a full time side today, on their 3G pitch and a 200 mile journey down.
We are looking mid-table or worse if we don't pick up
As regards Savile Park, I would suggest Ovenden Park and giving Wernick a call if the worst did happen!

| Another defeat but don't be too disheartened. It is still early days and the wins will come. I hope people don't start getting carried away calling next weeks game against Leigh a must win game. Don't be ridiculous its 5 games in. Stay positive and keep supporting the lads

| What wonderfully negative comments . Its 5 games into the season not 5 to go until the end of the season. Yes this league is a tough one this year but isn't that what we all wanted a hard competitive league not just 3 teams winning every week.
Yes I wish we had beaten London (and Batley and Sheffield) but we haven't lost by much. think how the lads are feeling. We will come good and the results will follow.

| It's been a tough start but all the teams in this league will be nicking points off each other.
Don't panic mr Mainwaring.

| One again its the same old story. We created the chances to win, but did not take them. Tangata makes a break and the pass goes to ground for example. We then give stupid penalties and make mistake poor errors in defence and allow teams back in the game. We are not too far away, but sadly we are making life harder for ourselves if we hope to make the top 4. The League is very close between 8 teams. You look at the results today for example Fev win by 1, London by 5 and Leigh by 8. You dont take the chances you will suffer a loss like we are doing. We can still make the top 4, but it is going to be very hard. We are only 2 wins beind first place. But we really need to sort our attack, defence and our discipline out soon or else the top 4 is gone. No need to panic just yet.

| Sounds like the same old story. Could do with a win next week just to lift spirits and belief in all honesty. Whatever the result though, it looks like we will have to go on another long winning run in order to make the top 4. No sweat yet though, we know we can do it and yes, we do have a better team who despite playing no where near full potential, could easily be sat with 5 wins from 5 if the odd moment switched during one of those defeats.

Not necessarily. So far, things in this league look pretty tight. You have just lost against two teams who are playing well, and most teams seem capable of taking points off one another. We managed another close call today, surrendering a 16 point lead (only 16 this week when Sheffield levelled at 28-28. Fortunately, we just had enough left in the tank for a final onslaught to snatch the points.
You would have to fancy your chances against us next week - today we were without McNally, Kay, Worthington, Tonga, Armstrong, Chase and Brierley, in the backs, then Lee Smith had to withdraw when he got injured in the pre-match warm up. Thankfully, Martyn Ridyard held up his hand to play, despite his rib injury, and his class helped enormously.
Looks like you may be facing a team full of forwards next week!

| Same as in previous week and as has been said, simply not taking our chances. God knows what was going through Tangata's mind when he once again broke through but instead of us scoring a simple try off a 2 on 1 he misses out Johnston and throws a pass to nobody. We didn't lose because of that but it did sum up our season so far. It will stick eventually but again we saw flashes of what we are capable but it seems to me the changes to the team are still taking a while to come off. Every man and his dog knows that Johnston should be at half back and is wasted at FB but RM seems to want to make the Moore and Murrell partnership work, its a really simple change to move Murrell to 13 where we know he is superb and have Jonno and Moore in the halves, this also means Scott can defend in the middle rather than out wide where he has been done for pace a number of times this year.

Fully agree GFB and as I have said before we don't seem to have the size or threat on the bench at the moment.
