| Overheard at today's game:
"Omari Caro. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane".
Sums him up perfectly. No bottle. Another Karl Pryce.

| One positive, well done on the club getting so many amateur teams on the pitch at half time. Some of those young kids were tackling better than our first team. Sign them up!

Disagree completely. His best performance this season was when he was in the thick of it on at 2nd row against Dewsbury (I think, might have been Batley) and he ran hard into contact again and again. He didn't have his best game today and clearly made a wrong decision on that break, but for the most part was ok.
Your synopsis works fine for Macani though. Apart that is from when he's through and 1 on 1 with the opposition fullback, has a pass available on the inside, and suddenly decides he likes contact.

| Plenty of effort today but wofully short of ideas on attack, and 26-0 in second half tells its own tale whatever other factors. First half was pretty decent, but secnd half was hugely disappointing.

No, we had to endure Caro for a couple of years and one word to sum him up is bottlejob.
Bit of pace but when you see some of the efforts of modern day wingers diving in at the corner, this guy is the complete opposite.

No. But it is the number that the tannoy announcer gave out and Mick passed it on on BCB.

Depends on how you want to define accurate as well. Were there that many people in the stadium?
Probably not.
Were there that many tickets sold for the match?
Yes.

| I've long suspected the attendance figures are more likely to be "tickets sold" figures and include a lot of absentee season ticket holders.
I didn't go yesterday and I didn't miss it.

That is definitely the case.

Only thing you did miss Bullseye was great showing from our U19s. Felt weird watching a team give their all, big hits, aggressive defence, some great passing and didn't let their heads drop just because they were 10 points down at one point. Put the first team to shame. Rowan Milnes scored 2 beauty individual efforts and Ryan Leadbeater scored a hat trick. He would have scored some of the chances Caro bottled out of yesterday. Shame we probably won't keep hold of these lads.

| I'll be going to more U19s games for sure. Didn't fancy Sunday because I'd have ended up staying for the 1st team game and would've left in a bad mood.

| Leigh Beattie said after the game that it was a big improvemnet on the Dewsbury (mis)match, which I'm sure is correct though, as an achievement, that is setting the bar ridiculously low.
I thought we got the worst of the bad calls, of which there were plenty, though we did get a few compensatories going our way too. I won't criticise the effort, as there was plenty imo, we rarely looked like scoring though and even when we did, we too often, found a way to avoid it. Not sure the backs should be criticised too much though, we seemed to make more ground going on the outside than we ever did down the middle - though indecisiveness or bad decision making and or a brain fart usually brought it to a halt before too long.
Hard to say I was disappointed. Disappointment only comes when expectations aren't realised and, to be fair, I went with few of those. The U19s showed how it should be done, even though a couple of our best U19s were actually in the first team, so congratulations to them on a great performance. I wonder where they will be strutting their stuff next season?
