Btw with larger crowds have come a much livelier fan zone and better food options. Had my pie very good.

Davis did come on again for Butterworth. I have to say B was the livelier of the two so I hope that will drive performance and competition. If I’m honest though it’s the Campo Meadows axis that needs to transition to the SL standard ASAP or we need to recruit.

Davis indded came back on midway through the second half, but replaced a Prop I believe. Butterworth started the move for Kershaw's second try. If I have my terminology correct, he was first receiver at dummy half (?) to start that move.

Not sure how specific the forward positions are in Rugby League without proper scrums, but I suspect Davis was playing loose forward and Stock was at Prop at that particular juncture of the match.

Unfortunately didn't see any of the game but Cakeman doesn't seem very impressed with the Ref. Was that fair comment?

No. The only quibble is that where it’s a bit of a mismatch ensuring the far better side stays onside most of the time is really important and I think there were times when he could have pinged them. But it’s swings and roundabouts.

Cheers BT, I think off side is a recurring issue in both codes of rugby that the officials constantly struggle with & and dare, I say, often guess at.

On side off side we were pretty good on sat, looks like it's something they have put a lot of effort into, it was wigan who were off the line too quick a few times. Disappointingly we are still getting caught not square at marker a fair bit but thats also a lot yo do with speed opposition are regaining there feet, incorrect PTB is unforgivable though, we have been caught in all our games doing that. It's not hard, if in doubt touch it with the foot

While I don't disagree with you NB, it is why Referees need to be consistent not only game to game, but within game too. From the Broncos games this season & others, that has not been the case. People may disagree, but I thought the best refereed game for us this season was at Hull where the difference in the teams was the least. Big clubs, just as in football, tend not to be penalised to the same extent as there lesser colleagues.

The only way to slow the ptb down is to dominate the tackle and others have said, we look too small to handle some of the northern behemoths. Can't fault the backroom for effort with a 4.5k average 2 games in and a lot of promo for the St Patrick's day game....currently it looks like FC, Castleford and Possibly Leigh are the home games where we stand a chance....but so far it's gone as well knew it would yet we all seem pretty upbeat.
COYB

Got to agree with Yr view! Maybe Huddersfield at cherry red!. Would like to be playing cas sooner rather than later before they get some bodies back.

Good that the club is ( finally ) doing something but a £90 meal deal in the lounge for St Patrick's might be a bit rich for a lot of folk, especially in the current financial climate.
Think I'll stick with standard admission and a pizza.

To be fair they are offering two different lounge options, the 90£ one is the full sit down meal, the normal lounge with buffet still available, still £49 so not cheap.

Aiming at London Irish fans with no pro sports to watch maybe?

In that case £10 burger & £80 worth of Guiness.
