Oh dear, Bumpy, not another slight to Radford? I take it you went to both the Leeds and Wakey games to base FACT on what you saw or was it fiction on what you were told, read or saw on Sky? Television never depicts the true game as the cameras follow the ball and not the wider game.

Looking forward to the game tonight. Hope the dry weather stays as a lot going on around the match. COYH

With this wind WE have to bomb escarpment if he is at fullback

I agree you get a better idea of how the game is going when you watch it live at the ground, but come on. Unless you record the game and analyse it a dozen times there's no way you can appreciate the work every player does off the ball. Watching on Sky gives you a good idea of how players are performing.

I'm happy with Washbrook by the way, he adds a different dimension to the rest of our pack, and despite what the stats say he is a strong one on one defender. If you appreciate the wrestle and the way players control ptb speed (I know from previous posts that bumpy doesn't), he is technically excellent. However, you don't need to have attended every game to form an opinion.

He has gone missing since I asked him if he went to the Wakey game (which he didn't), but still stated how poor Wahbrook was in that game?

didnt you know, you can see everything on the radio lol

Just be aware that Spring Bank is closed at the moment (near Derringham Street) and is likely to be closed for some time.

Typing FACT when it is absolutely true & not an opinion is actually a real fact, just because you can't accept it doesn't change that...FACT!
And how on earth is what I wrote a 'rant'

Two of the three things you claimed to be fact were actually opinion. The third point contained both fact and opinion.

Fact.

Talanoa in. He can't stop scoring at the moment.

Naughton get in!!!!!

Catalan have their first chance of the game and we let them score. Dammit.

Manu in. Sneyd converts and it's 18-6 to FC.

Kickable penalty and we take the two. FC 20-6 Catalan

Lee Richardson reckons we might just have had a perfectly good try chalked off for a forward pass that wasn't forward.

Catalan mount their second attack of the game and score their second try. Need some of the same defensive grit we showed in the second half last week.

Conversion rules out so score is FC 20-10 Catalan.

Under real pressure at the moment. Need to score next.

we usually concede just before half time

Bingo. Error from Fonua leads to Catalan's third try. Momentum now all with the Dragons and we badly need one of Radford's half-time talks.

Oh FFS! Naughton bounces the ball in the act of scoring. We really, really, needed that score.

Entertaining first half, both teams quality with ball in hand. Our right side defence all at sea at times though and too many penalties. Catalans quality will see them home for sure but it's been a good effort so far. Taylor and Watts both great in their early stints and Bowden up there too. Think Fonua's error was the turning point.

Could have been worse. Hopefully Radford can work his magic at half time as usual and we come out stronger.

I've watched every game this season home and away, I've attended 3 games not that that's any of your business.
I guess being so far up your arris like the rest of your type on here you think your opinion has more value...the sad thing is all you and your type ever do is bitch, moan and attack other posters, you're pathetic

Gone missing, haha..most people wish you'd permanently dissapear, you won't be missed.
Try having a reasoned discussion the pair of you, you know like adults do..oh I forget!

Pryce gone missing again
What a difference someone like Danny Brough would make to this side.
Need to do something about the defence on our right.Both wakefield and Catalan targeted it with success.
Thats why Michaels is the better option at the moment

Naughton at fault for 2 poor reads and Fonua for a missed tackle. Must fix that up.
