After playing so well today. Blackpool looms.
Sheffield are in not in a good place at the moment. We must take full advantage and put them to the sword.
We ran away with it at their ground and I hope we can do the same at Bloomfield Rd.
Blackpool was good for us last year, lets hope for more of the same, this.

Can't wait till the weekend. Missed last week's game due to work so need my fix. Confidence must be high and hopefully we'll see another win.

Our referee for this game is Mr J Smith. In addition Mr Cobb is our video ref.

The squad is the same as for last week.

Be warned, the drum is on its way.

Half time demonstration of its use as an anal suppository?

What a lovely morning here in the North West, looks like it is going to be like this all day, sunshine from before 7am and at 9am feeling really warm, lets Hope we can make it a real Summer Bash! for us.

Early days but shocking defence already and conceding needless penalties, especially from Battye.
Playing Naiqama on the wing is a very odd decision in my opinion!

Early mistakes really looked as if these cost us but credit to the lads for steadily taking control and winning fairly comfortably. Only disappointment was we couldn't add to the 32 points

Yeah 32 to 14 will do.

Having just watched the game honest view despite the win we were poor. A couple of good displays dragon, magrin, ayers leatherbarrow solid, api I think was pretty poor. Set finish was shocking at times. Positives, our tackle technique much better.
We are gonna have to improve if we are going to compete against Leeds in middle 8s

Quite agree. We were not great. However more important the two points are in the bag. Neither team looked settled and the delay for both was I think disrupting. We need to improve significantly. Defensively looked quite settled. On driving forward looked solid if unspectacular. More individual in final delivery, and quite frankly lost composure or panicked. However you want to describe it we tried to force the impossible. But on occasions the pass to the grass behind the man was unbelievably poor. Number of good performances as described and we were quite quick around the ruck. More composure required.

If we played like we did at home against Bradford against say Leeds at this point in time we'd be there. If it was on today's basis it'd be a hiding.

Agree with all the comments above, also thought Foster was very impressive.
Would like to see him back in the 2nd row though with Wes at centre and Walker returning at Full Back.
Pretty harsh leaving him out today imo.

The delay probably didn't help either side, but, hey, it's a win by a comfortable margin which'll do for me. Apropos the delay, someone on A.N.Other forum's posted a picture of the vehicle fire that caused it - looked very nasty, just hope the driver was OK.

Whilst I agree it wasn't a perfect performance and our new guy had a nightmare we need a bit of perspective here. We won comfortably, beating a side at the start of the season where one of our major rivals and scored some great tries? Wes on the wing was marginally odd but it worked. Cannot agree about foster, he has to stay centre he is playing exceptionally well and is so solid in defence. Ditto about Kear, he is so solid at full back, safe under high ball and comes into the line well.

At any time in the last 5 years would we have criticised this , or any win, by 32-14? No. Shows how far we have come as a team and fans that we are not satisfied!
