Dewsbury score. 12-6.

Following on Twitter, Dewsbury appear to have been given a penalty every one of their sets except one. Are we really that indisciplined?

That makes it 4 wins from the past 5 games. I don't know whether to be happy or frustrated. Where was this when we actually needed it?

According to the injury report on the website he's, "expected to return next week". We shall see.

Ross is back in full training now and just missed out for this weeks game. Hopefully if picked will be playing next week.

Farewell appearance perhaps?

One would assume so - good luck to the lad he deserves his chance.

watched the highlights on YouTube and it could have been by more. Thought Sykes was harshly sin binned, didn't look like a shoulder charge to me.

Considering what Keyes and Thomas had to put up with last time we played there this only begins to redress the balance.

My first thought was that it was a shoulder charge but maybe just a penalty rather than a yellow card. However if you watch the highlights again, you'll see when Ethan kicks off with Sykes, he appears to suggest something had happened twice (holds up two fingers, but not in the sweary sense, during his complaint). Perhaps Sykes was already on shaky ground for an incident previous, and this just said he needed to go and settle down?

that's a good point, the highlights wouldn't show that too.

true. given how soft it looked, I would say we're still quite a bit down on that score too.
