Quote: Errol Stock "Well I enjoyed yesterday but I do have a problem.
Our new seats give us a great view but behind us there are SIX moaners - yes SIX - and feed off one another too...
Yesterday they moaned for 70 of the 80 - here is a list of what is wrong;
Chev is bald
Chev is a blob
Chev cant tackle
Chev is useless
Clock doesn't work
New programme is stupid
Matty Blye is the invisible man
Harry Siejka is useless
Harry Siejka cant kick for toffee
Dale Ferguson is the invisible man
The pie van has gone
The new pie van is crap
Ryan Shaw can't catch
Ryan Shaw isn't a full back
Free hot drink is stupid
Its going to be a long season if every home game is like this!'"
Ha ha, the joys of a regular seat.
Got to be right and say my 'neighbours' are a joy [same ones as last year] but when you get 'moaners' and you know you're stuck with it - oh dear!
Like others, I think the weather had much to do with the game - it's pretty difficult to play open expansive rugby in, near freezing, constant rain and sleet and on an obviously 'slick' surface like we had yesterday, so congratulations to both sides for putting on a good show. Whilst clearly outclassed, and after the first ten minutes never really looking like scoring, Whitehaven never gave up, so credit goes to them too.
My MOTM was Jay Pitts, I thought he was both non-stop and outstanding, along with Adam Sidlow in the pack and obviously Lee Gaskell for finishing moves off.
