Doom mongers!

Obviously I was not there when we played em but the score does not suggest they totally ran away with it, so why are we convinced it's gonna go badly

Sometimes the scoreline doesn't reflect a teams dominance.

Dont think the score reflected due to a tactic employed which basically killed the game..The second half was non existent for both teams.

Looking forward to not seeing the same tactics employed in the CC..

Wonder if the loan and dual players will play?

Re: Challenge Cup : Wed Mar 11, 2015 8:40 am  

Dual reg thing is interesting in the cc don't know what the rule is I would imagine that if they play for one of the duel teams in comp then they can't play for the other later in the comp.
As for the Leigh game like I say I was not there.
Sounds interesting tho what tactic was used to kill it? That suggests assuming it was Leigh they thought we would bounce back so shut the game down, if they were so dominant why didn't they rack up 50 or 60

So we'll be concentrating on the Championship then?

Can't see parent clubs allowing dual reg players to play. Sean Morris, who played for Oxford in the league cup, was not in their squad last round. He wasn't named in the London squad either.

I think that the normal rule is dual reg players do not play, in case they are needed by their "home" club later. I am not sure about the tactics comment, would be interested to know more. Its a double edged sword the draw i think. On the one hand an easy draw, and a win is a positive - wins are wins. Getting knocked out early means we concentrate on the league, Leigh win and get involved in a cup run may distract them and ..............

Still hopeful we can win, in USA so cant be at the game, so please people keep me updated!
