Don't think it does any decent ale, although I may be wrong. Obviously there's the 'spoons in the town centre and they have the ale festival on at the moment.

Is this the HUGE second rower we have in the under 20's team?

Yes, have a look at his profile on Reds squad site

Pic doesn't do him justice IMO as he's had to squash into the frame

Most disappointed I've been this season - getting beaten by the Pies (or more accurately Pat Richards!) after putting in a good defensive performance I can live with, but today was dire - looked like no-one actually wanted to be there. Like others have said, having pulled back a try right on half time (very unlike us!!) you expected us to come out and really kick on at the start of the second half - but nothing.
Sorry Reds that was dreadful

Salford very poor.....................yet couldnt beat the worst Castleford side I have seen in 45 years spectating. Axe looming surely.

As for Malcolm. Hes been a great servant and still tackles his heart out but from dummy half he is not Championship 1 class yet they keep him on for 60 minutes dictating our turgid and boring one man rugby tactics. Matty came on and sparked things up but he should have been on after 20 mins.

LuLu & Stuart Littler should be sent out on loan immediately - lets see the kids come in please and show what they can do. No Relegation threat so its barmy keeping the old `uns in week in week out.

As for Shaun Mc. I am just so fed up with his ultra predictable tactics. We are supposed to be in the 'Entertainment' business and for the first time in years have some talent in the backs - Holdsworth, Matty, Ratch, Gibson, Tyrer etc., yet SMc still feels 5 drives and a kick is the way to go. Surely we are better than that and unless swift changes are made I feel for the club and its future.

[iIN A WORD

Simplly dreadful.

We need to beat Warrington or go out in style utilising the backs.

I agree with all said above, why do we persist in the one man rugby up the middle! They were so weak out wide & on the rare occasions we moved the ball wide we hurt them.
Poor tactics from a team who were nearly as bad as us, we deserved nothing & got nothing apart from getting a good soaking for our troubles at the start of the match.
Not good enough tactically, again no plan B when going wrong.

i took my kids along today and was more entertained watching them falling off the bucking bronco!!
so so so boring ,we actualy had a better turnout then i thought we would have took,everyone was nealry nodding off though.macrae is obcessed with percentage rugby!whats the point in having backs?we might as well put a team outwith 13 forwards to charge (or walk 4 yards)every set up the middle of the park!!!...come on macrae lets change things around a bit,and at least give some other young local lads at theclub there chance!!!...anyone know how reserves/academy got on before hand?

Keep taking the tablets lad!

Cas won that one 48-12

sorry
