Well said.....

Can anyone ever ever remember Laughton even having a half decent game......

Were they? I think not.

Pretty poor from both teams in patches but decent in other patches. The Ref was poor for both sides but wasn't helped by the 2 dummies running the line either..

agree.
but for a ref to give a try then go to video on say so of defending player did look bit bad, nearly as bad as the touch judges did with the goal.

was a win, we lost the fixture last season same as the sheffield one.
they have lost only once at home in the last 9 games before tonight.
ok fax did not play as well as can but its a win.

Bad? I'd say so. I didn't know he could do that. I must admit Rocket Ronnie had a terrible match. Batley know how to play that horrendous slope and they were really slowing the play the ball down in the first half. Ronnie kept penalising them at first, but didn't warn them, and even gave up penalising them in the end even when they continued to do it. He lost control towards the end, it was obvious, he was so inconsistently bad he was getting the bad bird from both sets of fans and was losing his bottle.

Anyway, to go to Batley and grind out a win is a great result, no matter what the performance. It's gonna be a graveyard for many this season, glad that one's out of the way.

Disgraceful was maybe the wrong word but poor is not. We lost control of the game and some of the mistakes was schoolboy errors. The Ref did not help but pushing players over twice, incorrect play the balls and poor tackling are our errors and ones that we are famous for. We was lucky Batley played even worse than we did and next week we cant afford to drift in and out of games or let poor discipline creep in to our game.

I was questioning the fact batley had players missing.

I think you're getting a little over excited, pussy cat, there's no way that match was as poor as you're making out. There some bluddy hard hitting stuff went on tonight, I think you should calm down and have a mug of horlicks.

Come on it is Laughton, no one can honestly say they're suprised with his display tonight. He makes the games his own, and when they're on sky, well it's his time to shine isn't it.

The day we get a decent display off Laughton; well I'll have to come back to you on that...

Question for those who watched this on Sky:-

Were we offside so much in that second half especially on our own line (3 or 4 times)?
Did the player who hit the ground before their 3rd and possibly 4th try not have both elbows down?
Did Batley never impede in the last 20 minutes as we did not get one penalty in that period?
Was it our discipline or that toilet called Laughton that deprived us of the ball the last 30 minutes???
Did Wrenchy really hit that guy high when the linesman came on?

Not had chance to watch it back yet, but did Worrincy make a tackle on their number 5 when he was in the air?

ref last night was a but the most important thing is weve returned with 3 more points than last year. still a lok of work to be done and a lot of other refs to put up with but well get there. we dont want to peak too soon
