Dewsbury 24 - 34 Fax | Final Score : Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:44 pm  

Fax 34 - 24

Final score, made hard work of it but a win. Fair play to the Rams, played a good game in the conditions and probably would have got the win if they'd have been a bit more clinical early on.

4 points clear at the top...

No sweat

Re: Dewsbury Score : Thu Jun 21, 2012 8:24 pm  

Poor match officials, Poor halfbacks and poor game overall. The match officials ruined the game by allowing offside, niggling, holding down and lost control of the game. Too many poor mistakes by Fax in defence and attack with poor communication at times. Kicking game was very poor and Handforth was just a passenger again and didnt want to get involved at times. I thought again Barlow and Ambler showed their SL class as they made huge metres but sadly Dewsbury was allowed to play silly buggers all game. Dewsbury did very well and obviously they had a game plan to slow and niggle as much as possible. Hopefully Haley and Divorty are not too badly injured

Cracking game for a neutral, really enjoyed it. Virtually a carbon copy of our game at Dewsbury though where we kicked on in the last 10-15 minutes (although we ended up winning by a bigger scoreline) after being second best for much of the game. Jowitt screwed up his substitutions in that one and to me it was the same tonight as the Rams forwards were out on their feet for the last 10 minutes.

Matt the reason I thought it was a poor game was the defence from both teams was poor at times. I hate slow games and Dewsbury really slowed it down!! I thought the game was very scrappy and slow mate though it was tasty at times. I feel both teams could have done way better in various things like kicking , communicating and defence. I thought the standard of the match officials was very poor. How did Dewsbury not get the try after Worrincy went down? Tackle was not complete

How can you single out Handforth?

It was a classic forwards game of attrition in really wet conditions. Handforth showed his class in the second half by giving us great field position with good kicks, and then sent out two passes which we scored from.

The forwards kept us in the game, but at the key moment, Handforth came up with the plays for us that got us back level and then ahead.

Unfortunately, it seems that Handforth needs to score a hat trick every match to please some fans.
