If you dont think/realise that RMs team over the last 5 years is essentially the squad that Harrison put together then you are the deluded one Nat.....

Harrison was the start of the rot with his very poor man-management skills and poor tactics. RMs additions to the squad have been mediocre in the main with very little done to improve the key areas the team lacks.... Half Backs.

The team has been in the main Harrison's squad. If you think we have moved on as a team then you are totally off your head

Lesson to learn when you sack a dour 5 drives and kick coach ex forward as coach don't replace with a similar animal who didn't even have half his playing pedigree.

After a confident start crisp handling we looked in total control which we some how managed to turn into a mistake ridden penalty strewn 2nd half looking totally inept thank goodness Tyrer had his kicking boots on & Sharpe for his taking of the high ball.
Only positives we won & the Att was 264 up on last year.

I thought it was a shocking performance for most of the game. Goal line defence was very good which I guess is one plus but when you are completing at under 50% and giving away so many penaltys its going to have to be. Theres no point glossing over it but Batley are at best an average team in this league and I can think of at least 3 maybe 4 games that would have run 40 or 50 points on them yesterday given our 12 point lead. As has been said certain players attitudes don't seem to be right and for me that is just a run over from a very poor pre season. Im still hoping that a SL job comes up for RM early season and we can get Grix and Murrell officially running the show.

Greetings Pete, met with Jon and Dave fevgrinder yesterday for a couple of drinks they hope to see you and Mick next week.Fev are a decent side, you will be glad to hear I’m tipping them to beat Fax by 10 next week, I was impressed with the Boas brothers, they will have to be watched.A big improvement from Leigh, if I was offered 2 wins from our first 4 games I would have taken that easy, as I expect us to get beat next Sunday by Toronto.Give Di my best wishes.

Ey-up Ian. If Fax had played against your lads like they played yesterday you would have had 3 from 4 now, we really were awful. Saying that, a win's a win and I allus say the sign of a good team is winning when you play badly which we did. See you in June mate. Up The Fax! The Sportsman, shuddersfield. Mallinsons Motueka 3.9% Mmm!

Wonder if we’re the team in for Baldwinson,I’d take him we’re still a forward light imo.

I didn`t think Baldwinson showed up much last season.Just a steady player who wont improve the squad. some of our reserves just as good.

No doubt Pete, it doesn’t matter how yer win, it’s still 2 points,I think yer game on Sunday will be a good game though.Fev fans did a lot of damage to the toilets in the South Stand, I know all Clubs even Leigh have their hooligans but why do it.?

That's bad but not surprising. It's gone on for years, I don't know what's up with them. One reason why me and our lass won't be going next week. The thing is it's costing the Featherstone club a lot of money because there's not just me that won't attend POR. It's a poor do.

All opinions i know but thought Baldwinson did well and no the young forwards aren't up to the level required just yet.

Yeah not a massive fan he seems to have stagnated in the same way Elliot Morris has for us. Always seems to run less than his size. I really dont think we need anymore forwards though and a good centre would not go amiss.

Clearly one decent forward light at least,hence the Mitch Cook scenario.A strike centre would have been right up there in the off season-Hankinson from Wigan on loan ?

Hankinson would imo be a super addition. He always impressed me when i saw him play though was a little surprised Wigan went for him. He would make a super long term replacement for the Salmon.
