How did the team play?
First 10 mins we started quickly scored two tries, and then went sleep as usual doing daft things like kicking out on the full, until last 10 mins when we scored 2 more tries to go in at half time with a very flattering 20-8. Bately should have been ahead at half time, but they bombed tries and at least in first half their GL defence was shocking, we scored every time we got into their 20.
Second half much better we ground them down, and apart from last 7 or 8 mins when the players relaxed a bit (although GL defence was really good in those mins) I never though we would lose. Sending off did have an impact as it became damage mitigation for them at that point, but we were never in danger 2nd half. Final score should have been better for awful kicking.
However with Sheffield and Fax losing points again all in all good week. This makes the Sheffield game in 2 weeks a huge game for them. If we win game in hand we will have 8 points over them, and if we win at Sheffield that would be 10 points (5 games). I don't seem them catching us if we go 10 points up on them.
Bately having good season but not top 4 quality (they will still do better than last season), Dewsbury also not going to challenge, so if we can knock Sheffield out of the equation, then it will be between us, Fev and Fax for the two spots, and we have a great chance of making it as long as we stay focused and eliminate the errors plus sort our kicking out. We can't miss 10 points vs Bradford in next home game for instance
