Has tonight's team been announced ? Can't find it anywhere

As another topic or post says the media coverage at championship level is almost non existent.

It’s incredibly poor and probably one of the biggest contributors to why there is no tv deal etc.

If only there were some drive from the powers that be to increase the media presence or exposure the competition might see improvement.

Have to say though there’s sone good rugby to be watched and some crowds aren’t that far away from the lower end SL crowds. If there was some investment into the championship it could certainly help grow the sport.

I think he's rested rather than injured.

Not yet. Half six.

Usually announced an hour before kick off.

Starting line up

Steamrollered them

Dewsbury kept going but were out on their feet after an hour. We were still "clunky" and still scored 34 points in the second half.

That ref were diabolical. Reminded me of James Child.

Excellent crowd over 5800.
Ref needed to speed the game up looked a young lad they have to learn but some basics could probably have been done better

Not sure if it was linesmen or ref but there weee some head scratchers in that.

What infuriates me most is the players are constantly playing at a higher tempo and constantly landing on their fronts but aren’t allowed a quick play and often get slowed down. I think because it’s championship there’s a lot of leniency afforded to opposition teams. Must be really frustrating for the players. How we pay at a much higher pace but don’t get hardly any repeat sets and seemingly every week on wrong end of penalty count is very strange indeed.

Anyway the officials had a better second half letting the game flow a bit more.

As for the game. Our forwards are just a different class in this league. The speed at which our middles play at must give opposition players nightmares.

Bain impressed me today. Got a great pair of hands close to the line and looks every inch a loose. Certainly finding his fitness now.

Some tough choices next week.

Players like Olpherts playing well and Bain having a cracker today really makes tough selection choices.

Bain up there for MoM today for me put on some monster hits and runs hard every-time he gets the ball, certainly staked his claim for a Wembley shirt with that performance

Noah Booth took his chance at fullback well I thought.

Struggled with kick offs yesterday, whether that was the low sun, some great kicks from Dewsbury or a bit of disorganisation with Jowitt out, but it's something to work on this week. It meant we lost the impetus after scoring along with giving penalties away in the opposition 20, especially in the first half, which left Dewsbury off the hook.

It seemed a more complete performance in the second half so Powell must have had a word.

Shame for Cozza as I imagine he'd definitely out on the concussion protocols.
