Thought the performance was very good and we bombed a few tries so the score could have been even better. For me Brand needs to replace Inu for the final next week but I know a lot will disagree. The referee completely changed after half an hour and he wasn't going to settle until they scored. We got penalised 3 times when we had the ball for pushing defenders off us as they were holding on.

Good performance and I loved our defence in their half especially. The game got scrappy as subs were made but that is to be expected, it almost felt like a friendly. Hopefully no injuries and we need a big week now before the final.

Churlish of Bongser not to mention Ferguson's debut. Four tries, a fifth put on a plate and a willing workhorse bringing the ball out. Well impressed by his commitment to the cause.

Sidlow was a big miss today especially with Nakubuwai also out (and no Wardle). Green still sub-radar. Any news, prognoses? With a full pack today, Worky would have been blown away - and Inu would have had a better kick percentage. As stated above, better this week than next.

I thought that Reynolds linked up well with Mellor and Aekins today. My only problem with Reynolds is that sometimes he can't decide when to take the line on or pass which stood out 3 times at Batley but, today i thought he got it right. The ref decided to discredit himself 2nd half for some reason.

Good debut for Fergie, and overall after a scratchy 2nd half due to all the changes, I'm going for a Leyth win next wick @ Spurs. COYL.

Nene unfortunately must learn to pass not just hit the line.

I never mentioned Nene, i said Reynolds ffs. Why don't you make that a post of your own? Or are you waiting for me to post so you can have your moment of embarrassment? It's all around the pubs how much of a D**k you are, and how you have succeeded to destroy this forum.

Pack was tremendous Bongser. Carries,yardage all met. Ferguson backflip just cost him his wages.


Nene just needs to learn to pass rather than I can see the line. Lams switch play is a game killer.

Sorry I thought this was a forum for making comments. Or do we all just have to agree with what you say.

Yes it is a forum to make comments but, if you're going to address it to me, make sure you got the right player in question i was alluding to.
I know you're deliberately trying to antagonize me but, just give it a rest.

I didn't go today, finances & parenting took precedent. I did watch on Our League though, between chores & the internet circle of doom & noticed the crowd look significantly low. What was the attendance today ?

Regarding the actual game, 4 tries for Blakey on Day-Boo was impressive (even against bottom placed Workington), more so impressed by his carries & some very good offloads.

The incident where the Ref failed to give Leigh a try & pulled it back for a pen for the grubby hit on Ben Reynolds was a shocker. Why not award the try & then deal with the foul later ? He didn't even give a yellow for it, so effectively awarded Worky 4 - 6 points !

Looking forward to the 1895 Cup now, though again not going.

....'Green still sub-radar. Any news, prognoses?....

Bongser, Green was one of the water carriers today.

Given that Ferguson had the same job on Monday night at Batley I'm guessing that he (Green) is not far from playing again.

Anybody got any news on Sidlow? He was in the main stand today with the rest of the non-playing squad. Another guess, unless someone else has the inside track, is that he was simply being rested for next week. I think that he has played every week for us since the season opener and for most of that time we have been down in numbers in the front row and has had a heavy workload as a result. I think that he has been great and if he has been rested then he has deserved it since he will certainly be needed next week.

Evening Jack. Think Sidlow missed one game early doors but can't remember which.

By 'eck you don't miss much peripheral stuff though, do you? Bongser is weaning himself off sideline spotting as he missed a try completely a few games ago whilst paying attention to a halfway line interchange.

Hopefully a clean bill of health then for next week. Upbeat but not wholly confident.
