It's an opinion. After recent events it would have been great for everyone to stay and give the lads a big cheer and show we are united and as the chant was "we'll support you ever more"

But too many people IMO walked out early, but the ones that p!ssed mee off even more were the ones slating the lads when there was no need for it all.

As I have said the lads need our support more then ever at the time and whilst your some was cold I accept that BUT the people just want to avoid traffic really does make me mad. But thats me.

Hi this is Mrs Bigal i would just like to say i felt sad reading JD'S apology this morning, working as a nurse in a hospice i deal with death and greiving family/friends frequently, all the players deserve a big pat on the back for pulling on a shirt on fri night and i feel they didn't let anybody down, your all still greiving from Adam's death and now Leon's death will bring all those feelings back, keep your chins up lads.
As you can guess Al's not in at moment so im able to get on computer .

Post more often Mrs. Al

Great post and I agree with it. Hope most of lads see this thread as they have nothing to apologise for.

It has doubled the amount of pride we have for the team.

Steady on pal., she should be making MY tea not mucking about on here




Somehow feel i may regret this

So do i

Sorry? For what? Without 2 of our experienced props, with Scully coming back from injury and with a host of 'returnee's' JD and the rest of the gang bust a gut against one of the biggest and best teams around and made them work for their victory. No one shirked, no one bottled it, no one gave up - we were outplayed, and thats all there is to it.

JD and the rest of the team - you don't owe us an apology, it's us that owe you our support. RESPECT!!

edited because i made a crap joke about turnips and it is not in my opinion appropriate to deflect from the general flavour of this thread, which is that JD has been a top bloke and had no need to apologise!

JD has nothing to apologise for.

For being interviewed live straight after the game he deserves a knighthood. That took some courage.

don't think that i have ever been to a game with as much as a "don't care who wins attitude" .. we left early with about 10 mins to go and are the one's adam slates..we were also the ones who had the churwell chiefs shirts on..the kids (under 10) were not as aware of the night as the adults but the parents certainly were, being very personal friends of the family... following day the kids went out against eastmoor and an impeccable minutes silence was observed by everyboby. chiefs came out the winners just...

a statement from one of my mates

" i never thought that i would spend a minutes silence with my youngest son for somebody who played with my eldest son!"

I have listened to Leons dad recently - what a amazing man. I tell you what he loves Rugby League. Friday was just sad - nobody was really bothered about the result.
