Didn't go ...and deliberately stayed off the airwaves until the end... except they were still playing and we were 16-12 down...so I stayed tuned.
Peno to Hunslet...
18-12 the game as good as gone...
But wait!
Beryl is in and Beryl converts.
Out of jail card played!
Happy with that....
Just needed a photo of Thornton's mush at the death!

Yep would be interesting to see if he had that gleeful look on his face that he had after they won at Skolars. Can't take to the man and never will.

Take that pre game. Somebody has described us has slipping up (not this forum) any points at Hunslet are not to be sneezed at.

To those who travelled today, did we pick up any injuries?

Liam Johnson struggled a bit after a knock .

I think we missed a middle today , Wilkinson has played well this season . Do not know why he was not selected .

To be fair Hunslet stopped Johnston & Beharrell , except 1 break from Johnston which we scored from !

Thank you for the update

The lack of Wilkinson was my only query pre game. Been playing well. Hope he's not injured.

Aaron York went off with a head knock.

I went to the game and I have to say Donny have this thing in their game where they get drawn into playing how the opposition play, it was mostly a slugfest down the middle with both sets of forwards just cancelling each other out, plenty of knock on's and a skewed "6 again" count in Hunslets favour, Hunslet should feel the most disappointed from the game with the amount of ball they had in Donnys 20 in the first half that they didn't manage any scores.
Not a pretty game at all, but if donny had played their own game and moved the ball about, it would have been a more favourable result, saying that based on both teams performance yesterday, the draw was a fare result. Hopefully get back to winning ways at Coventry next week.

The draw was a fair result in my opinion , the amount of restart sets given against us by the appalling referee was alarming.
If I remember correctly we only had one restart set , where as Hunslet must have been close to double figures............ the same with penalties.

I was surprised at our lack of ball movement ,however our line defence was outstanding given the amount of time Hunslet had the ball in our 20.

We had a bad day at the office and I don't think we could play that poorly again and come away with a result .
I laughed after watching GT high fiving his assistant when he thought he had the game won when they took the lead , only for us to score and level the match.

I thought Matty was well under par given previous performances and his kicking game was awful, however he saved our butts with his last minute scamper by the sticks.

I was impressed with Sam Smeaton's performance , he was my motm.

I don't know if Peltier and Douglas were carrying knocks , both seamed way off from previous games .
I wondered if Wilkinson was injured as he has been outstanding for us and cant see any other reason why we wasn't playing.

Coventry wont be easy ,especially if we perform like that.

COYD .

That is fair summary of the game .

Yes Wilkinson was standout vs North Wales...
Didn't go but it seems that their forwards won that part of the game and our sparkly backs didn't sparkle.
We were fortunate that Hunslet were without 3 important players...fullback Jimmy Watson, Vila Halafihi and of course halfback Dominic Brambani.
So no reason to be overly satisfied...Hunslet are now as good as us and a bit more to come.

There are still at least 2 players making the side that I don't understand what they do...they certainly don't score tries...so figure it out, no names needed.

Players disappear in our set up without a reason why and next thing they are history...for example where is Boas?

After a sensational performance against NWC...what happened?...odd selections.

Wavering a bit S-O .

I donot think Watson has been playing that well . We have a scrum half & 6 playing well . I donot think he is a full back or acting half back !

I don't think he is a good enough 6, his break making is not at Ben Johnston's level...but his general play is certainly better than many...so he would make my side.
2 other players would most certainly not and I am surprised it is only me saying this...
I am very happy with all our new recruits and the side has great potential, but think the 13 can be picked as a stronger side.
