i agree with a below par 1st half performance last nite, however i thought in the 2nd half we controlled it from start to finish, and could and should have scored more than we did, with a little more patience.

donny had there chances throughout the game, due to there vgood kicking game, constantly turning miles around..usually after a pretty poor set with ball in hand!

penky obviously had an off day, and afew others but he stood out because all his mistakes seem to come like buses! as for hemmingway, i wish people would get off his back and let him settle in. for me beswick did very little in out first 3-4 games this season, but look at him now. he was FANTASTIC last nite!

and all this missing our ever present (this season) ben black! his absence was is bound to throw our midfield links off abit!

Good result, only 4points conceded! 7 trys scored! NO INJURIES! and the likes of goddard, black, roberts, govin, worrincy, ect to come back.

i for 1 cant wait till leigh in the cup!!!! and as a fax fan for yrs have never had a more satisfying season after 16 games.....

i think wed have all taken,
TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
ONLY 3 POINTS OUTA 27 dropped!
CROWDS ON THE UP!!!

My blue and white glassers look GREAT

I agree - I have highlited above where we are struggling and apart from that 40/20 its OUR KICKING GAME.
Come on when a poor side like Donny do better at it than us then we need to take note, its back to not having a dedent stand off thats what needs sorting.
easier said than done mid season though!

Lighten up folks.Lets be positive.We've had a fantastic start to the season ;top of the league , nrc quarter finalists and cc 5th round.OK we were poor against the eagles and the dons but give them some slack.
I really believe we are punching above our weight, ; we have the best combo of props/hookers in the division , same for the loose forward slot.
Our half backs are good ,so are our threequarters but I dont think they are the best in the division.The return of Goddard will help especially defensively.The next 2 weeks are crucial.The players should be given a week off and then a really good week of training should freshen things up.
But stay positive ; we have only lost once all season.

You'd say no to Sean Long playing for us? He'd destroy this league, might end up at wakey or somewhere like that, especially if brough does leave.

Are you hearing any rumours of trouble in the camp, players signing for other clubs next year, money disputes etc

The only disputes at the club are that the squad have set them selves very high targets and are dissapointed over the last couple of weeks that they havnt met them targets. It looks as silly as it seems the defeat at Cas, as much as it took out of us physically, it looks to have dented our confidence as well.
Im sure the next two weeks will give us a great chance to regroup and im sure whoever we play next will be in for a very tough game.

Just wondering, often behind the scenes contract talks can be upsetting and I know most are on 1 year deals. Gleeson is rumoured to be off to Widnes and Penky back at Leigh.

............ as can rumour spreaders like your goodself

Penky's "rumoured" Leigh move started when he left secondary school.
