That's right, Shaun played at six when he first went down to Belle Vue, playing understudy to Paul Mansson, all those years ago. He also toured Australia with GB students in 2003, playing at 6 in all five games.

Yes one of the positives was that we held on when the see-saw had clearly tipped in Gateshead's favour.....when that happens momentum would have usually indicated that Gateshead would go on and win.
But surprisingly we stopped them.
Well done Donny for that.
I just hope we don't hear any crap excuses from the coach......it's not just the player's fault when these things happen....he needs to stand up and take some responsibility and not just blame the players.
He would get a lot of respect if he did.

we played some great stuff 1st half and then scored 1st in the 2nd half then we put the cue on the rack. Credit to Gateshead as they never gave in and bombed a couple of good chances late on.

Another thing from me was why we constantly kept attacking left side in the second half? I felt sorry for Leafy and our winger as they were always calling for the ball and we had countless overlaps but we never pushed the ball out right. Maybe someone can come on and tell us why as i couldnt understand the tactics.

well done though to the lads.a wins a win !!! COYD

Regarding half backs when we lost Fawcet and Edwards injured at Rochdale Ely took over at scrum half and was more than good enough on the day.

Not pushing the ball right when we had numbers out there was something that a few of us picked up. Just couldn't see why we kept going where the defence had numbers?

Have nt you heard of safety in numbers!
