Which players were on dual reg?
Their kid who went the length of the field near the end, Matty Ashton, was very impressive. I assumed he would have been a dual reg player but I don't think he is, only 20 years old and has already signed for next year with Swinton. Wouldn't have minded signing him but fair play for staying loyal to Swinton.

As someone else has said, York dropping a point today has meant that the draw isn't that much of a disaster. Out of the 5 teams above us I think York are still the ones we're most likely to be in with a chance of catching because their run in is so brutal. However everything is going to rest on next week's result - if we go and get a win then I think we'll do it, but if York beat us then it's most likely over with a 6th/7th place final standing.

You know what's going to be happen don't you? We'll hammer York next week - then blow it by losing to Rochdale!

sorry Nothus, i can only comment on commentary from afar, i was led to believe swinton had a few wiganers on their books from this. agreed on Ashton tho' seems the real deal on swintons behalf

just listened to the swinton coaches interview ... was talking about us being super leagues top dogs, world club champions. this team needs to focus on not what we were but where we are, we are still the bulls and as he said, everyone knows and fears us .. but we are the bulls thats climbing up from champ1/championship and thats what we are. start playing the rocky 2 music before every game we play

As always after a loss you see some knee jerk reactions on here and across social media.
Some of it justified and some if it a complete over reaction.
But alas hopefully some valid points regarding individuals

Magrin after a few decent performances, including an outstanding effort last week was shocking today.
Pickers was up and down as he has been all year. That attempted tackle for the last try was disgusting.
Ethan going off really didnt help things
Storton was decent off the bench
Webster outstanding again

Finally im not one to have a dig at the coach and im more than happy with Jk but can any one please please please explain why, when Crossley Green and Bustin are all injured why would you play Mikey Wood in reserves given that hes played the majority of games this year and been more than decent. Utter madness as far as im concerned

I think going with 3 props was what has being said madness. We had no grunt up front and I thought we were lucky to get away with a draw, but we kept going to the end and got a point.

While I did think going with 3 props was madness (can't believe Wood was left out) we were 16-0 down with virtually the same starting line up as last week.

I know Swinton are playing well 'of late' but BLIMEY how the hell do you beat Widnes 62-0, then struggle today.

you forgot Blimey

Just as you begin to believe this side has really found some form and can push for a play off spot they turn in a result like today. Very fortunate to get a point and a long way off the standard for a top 5 hopeful. You just cannot afford to drop points at home to teams towards the bottom of the table.

After last weeks result I was beginning to wonder if the team were really focused on putting a run together and achieving a play off spot. Seems like they fell in love with themselves despite the warnings throughout the week from Kear.

York is a must win game now if we want to keep the dream alive. Lose that and I feel it’s a long way back,

Crazy leaving Wood out of the team. We need him on to defend when forwards like Magrin and Peltz are on cos they can run but they can’t tackle consistently - the opposition quite clearly targeted them. Also we missed Hallas on as starting hooker as his defence is good too. They just ran through the middle until he came on as prop good god! Thank god Kear saw sense and put him back where he belonged! Thank goodness for the one point!

Matty Ashton is second in the Championship try scoring charts with 18 and was signed from Mayfield
Hes not on dual reg
Mike Butt didn't play today is 3rd and was signed from Broughton park Ru. Not on dual reg.
Just some facts to counter one of your excuses

Sounded like the ref had no business being on the pitch from the radio commentary

O i do love it when someone who wasnt even at the game still manages to criticise the referee when we dont win.
