That's Miners now eliminated isn't it?

But for a few ropey results at the end of the season it was looking like another good year.

Best of luck next season.

Totally outmuscled today by a fairly ordinary pack. Need some weight in the forwards for next season - only Whiteside with any grunt today and completely went to pot when he got sin-binned!

been a long hard season for the lads this year,to be honest first twenty min miners were class then just let it slip corn just stuck to the game plan and it paid off,miners back to the drawing board,a very good forward signed for next season some good lads comming through so next year should be a good one cant wait.

And who would that be? Winston fails to realise he has some superb young players playing in the second side - players he delibrately and blatently overlooks. Ie. taking 3 of them up to East Hull and giving them each 5-10mins.

If LMR are going to be a 'one-team club' then so be it, but Winston shouldn't be expecting many people to hang around. He should be sacked IMHO.

its very noticeable that the young players impressing in the second team only get their chance when its a long away journey like the 4 trips a season to hull, when some of the more senior players cant {wont?] make the long trips
