But you are doing Swinton a little disservice by failing to mention the gift of a try in the first half, granted from a very ambitious pass. You have also completely overlooked the try of the match which we scored from Kev Penny and which in itself was worthy of the very fair £15 entry fee.

I had 5 in my car so that amounted to a quarter of the Swinton following which I think even you have to agree is way off the mark and we have a picture taken of the gathering from behind the sticks which confirms there was certainly more than 20, but however few of us we certainly made more noise and showed a greater spirit in supporting our troops than Fax fans did you were very lacklustre indeed.

Like Fax that was only our second run out following a very traumatic close season and quite frankly to come to Fax and go away with the bonus point fills me with plenty of enthusiasm for the season ahead, not many teams will take a point and it's a big improvement on last season for us.

Good luck in your next game.

There was more than 20 Swinton fans(some in east stand) good luck for rest of season.
I won't criticise away support until we get our missing 000s back.

Swinton fans should take credit from yesterday, out sang us Halifax fans all day & supported there side all game, I was shocked how flat it seemed behind the posts.

Although we did bomb four or five trys for forcing silly passes, the only positive you can take from it, is that we are at least creating those chances in the first place. The errors, penalities and trying to score every time we have the ball must be something Rhino will work on this week.

I thought we lacked a bit of go forward, which will be sorted with Ambler & Manning back.

Barlow was quality for Swinton, nothing special but a workhorse for 75mins. Well done Josh. Probably the best player on the pitch in my view.

Ignore HJ he is this forums equivalent of the 3rd Chuckle Brother.

Agree with others about it been very flat yesterday. It were one of those games where you never felt we would lose and that seemed to reflect in the lack of atmosphere. It almost seems the last couple of seasons style of rugby is coinciding with the atmosphere getting worse.

Good run out. Player combinations a bit rusty. Ben Johnston looks a exciting player with pace.

Ben Johnston was definitely the most impressive player for me yesterday, he looks to have a monster of a step as well.

Tonka was man of match for me.Made big yards every time he had ball. Also thought Ben Davies and Andy Braecech had good games
