Another game where we were in the hunt but couldn't get the upper hand. It's really frustrating that we played a quarter of the game with an extra man and still didn't get anything from the game.

Thomas Doyle has to start the next league game against Oldham. He causes a lot of trouble and looks very dangerous from dummy half.

Really enjoyed the game. To come so close on that pitch with a back row so young and inexperienced was heartening. Tremendous effort with a bench lacking any real experience. I don't think Kear used a sub until 32 minutes.

That said whilst both wingers worked really hard coming out of defence they have to take those chances at this level. I agree on some of the mistakes but overall very positive against a big rough side with lots of SL experience.

Lot of effort on display, but we lack leadership on the field. We blew 3 clear cut tries, and given we only lost by 8 points it's a bitter pill to swallow as both Fev and London were there for the taking.

Turning point was with about 12 mins to go. You'd got back in it and were working the short pass effectively.
Then, as you were working the ball out early in the tackle count the player needlessly tried an unnecessary offload right in front of us. Scrum... try...game.
Under attrocious conditions it was a tough game. Crossley was immense.

A game of what ifs.
What if Oaks hadnt thrown a shocker to MDJ
What if Pickers and Johnson had called on that high kick
What if Pickers had caught that ball when he was through the line and away.

What if!!

He's probably watched too many Robbie Paul videos!

I will broadcast on Mixlr just for you if it helps you enjoy the games?

Obviously, when we go to adverts on the Pulse, you'll probably hear me talking to the producer so don't panic.

There probably was an element of coulda, shoulda woulda about the day but ultimately I thought our young side acquitted themselves pretty well.

For sure mistakes were made, but experienced pros sometimes do that too and Fev are a good side in this division, let's not forget that. One thing we were definitely unlucky with was the wind/toss - we fought well against a strong wind for virtually an entire half and then, when it was our turn to have the advantage, it dropped. we were definitely under the cosh and Fev kicked us to death in that early period, whilst we were unable to gain any ground at all from the final kicks.

We've lost our first two games by an average of six points against what are definitely two of the best sides in the division so, yeah we're maybe down but definitely not out. Given their ages and the fact that so many are new to the club/first team these two games bode well for the future imo.

The only what if for me is what if the showponies of the Green era had half the heart and fight of these lads, we'd have been back in SL.

They just will not be bullied or take a backwards step....

As for Hallas, he's becoming niggler-in-chief. Where we used to fall for it now it's us doing it...

Taking on a decent Fev team, in those conditions, with everyone of them putting their hands up is enough reason to support and be proud of them at the minute.

Mate, i can only imagine the amount of work that goes into organizing, preparing, running the match day braodcast (which is first rate ) but i couldnt put you out just for one person. Annoying yes sometimes and frustrating but ive made do and on the whole i can get a steady stream when all things work. A very nice gesture Mick but the masses come first

I feel there needs to be some haggling going on here. Chinabull gets his bespoke commentary service, and in return he sets up a Rugby League Team in his town. Seems fair.

tryouts are going well

ur

edit: tried imgur also

great ... so im guessing you cant see that cause i cant lol
