Butler is NOT a centre. It's a swinging gate down our right hand side.

Re: Summer Bash : Sun May 28, 2023 6:05 pm  

Keighley just about deserving the 18-14 scoreline. We've got to get smarter and put more pressure on their line. Usual Patton kick to Gill at end of sets. So predictable, but comes off now and then.

Re: Summer Bash : Sun May 28, 2023 6:58 pm  

We dug in during the second half, and really took control. Ben Blackmore was immense, Gilly was more his usual self, and (gulp) Patton had a decent game. The argument will be that Keighley were weakened by the absence of usual backs, but as everyone says "you can only beat whats in front of you"

Nice to have kept them nilled in the second half. Scored some nice tries. Awful start and need to work on not being so bad in those patches.

Re: Summer Bash : Sun May 28, 2023 8:00 pm  

One positive for me was having gone 12-0 down we didn’t crumble as in previous games, doesn’t mean we’ll come back every time but it’s a start. Scored a few points second half which should boost confidence

Thought Walker, Scurr, England, Blackmore and Appo were class today. Disappointed with Jowitt’s cameo today. He’ll learn from it. Other than that thought the lads did well today. Need to sort ourselves out defensively though, Keighley made too many breaks for my liking in the first 15.

Hopefully Lawrence and Arundel will be fit for next week.

Well done today - in the second half. A dish best served cold!!

Re: Summer Bash : Sun May 28, 2023 8:48 pm  

I thought the forwards got really on top in the second half and they had no answer at all. Appos try was a cracker. Didn't look too good for Mason when he came off, Great comeback to nil them in the second half.

Re: Summer Bash : Sun May 28, 2023 9:45 pm  

Very solid second half performance following a pretty dreadful opening 40 minutes. Scored some great tries and our forwards laid a platform for the halves to cut open the Cougars defence. Patton and Holmes worked well today with Walker backing up in support.

MOTM between Appo, Patton and Walker.

Re: Summer Bash : Sun May 28, 2023 9:58 pm  

I thought it changed with the introduction of Scurr. He was immense with ball in hand and really got them on the front foot.
