Hunslet Game : Sun Mar 19, 2017 6:51 pm  

Well that was one to forget I'm afraid. Job done getting through to next round but I dread to think what our completion rate was. Hunslet gave a good go of it and actually taught us on how to build pressue with several drop outs etc. They just weren't good enough to capitilise on all the territory and poseesion they had. A tacklethon for us.
I'm afraid our quality in squad depth is not there. Looking forward to seeing Murrell,Grix,Fairbank,Salty and Boyle return next week.
Looks like we will need a hooker as I noticed Ben Kaye unable to use one arm at the end of the game. Shoulder injury recurrence Pellon Boy?
Crowd announced was below 800.
(I see Hull KR ran in another 40+ points today. We will seriously have to up our game next week or it could be a long day at the office.)

Bit of a disjointed performance Today. Coupled with a knockathon i'm just glad we came out on the right side of the result. As you say, job done. nothing more. A wins a win

Great to see BK captain the side.

We are in the hat nothing other than that.
I wish I hadn't taken my thrill suppressant pill before the game now.

......but looking like another spell out. Holding his arm after the game. RM saying on Radio Leeds, hand injury, but looked to me like Ben was signalling arm. Possible break?

Not a good game at all we gave them far too much ball but on the positive side we defended well again although they did not offer a lot, lots of changes to the team so understandably
we were not firing on all cylinders its a win and we are in the hat for the next round.

Not shoulder LTD, suspected broken wrist but swelling too high to get a decision yesterday. Going back for a scan today to see if anything conclusive can be seen.

Glad we won and we are in the at for the next round - think this one fell in to the 'a wins a win' category.

Was concerned with the size of the crowd - the lowest I have ever seen for a Fax Home Game was very poor - and why was there no programme or half time entertainment - to me it looks like we are very very skint - bet we didn't break even - Im sure if there was a problem the BOD would be up front about it they normally are
