Probably the fastest player in the division and never sees the ball. Today was a glorious opportunity and yet got one pass that was considered forward. What a waste of talent.

The whole team pinged for offside time and time again.

The answers is SO simple!! It really is!!!!

Stand BEHIND the referee.

It's not even rocket science.

Good result but could do better.

The art of being a good coach which Barry undoubtedly is, is to come up with the unexpected. Now who would have expected Mapals to not get much possession and Reid and Gav to look like match winners. maybe he was also aware that there right defense was weaker and that Worky would be expecting more down our right attack. This argument also applys to all those that give Pressley stick for not taking on the line all the time because if he did there would be no element of surprise and they would bottle him up.

That sounds to me like you watched the game, with both eyes open

To me it sounds like he didn't watch the game at all, Gavin especially had much more open possession than that. It strikes me McCougar must have been the official penalty counter for the League Express also because that was 8 to Keighley and 9 to Worky ( I don't think so). I'd love to see a full video and be stood corrected.

Today was an opportunity to redress that and stupid dumb thick penalties together with NOT using an effective strike weapon , and yes Hughes played a blinder, doe's not hide the fact that we could have scored more and being penalised when it was not necessary.

It's NOT criticism, or being, negative it is straight forward common sense!!!

I reckon even the coach will agree.

When we have beaten Dewsbury twice and clawed back the competion points the scoring difference will still be in their favour I would suggest.

Here was an opportunity to put 80 + past them and yet..............

It was a good performance but if in your eyes that was acceptable against such opposition then fine, in my eyes it was good but could have been better.

For Mr Leaguefan

let's put the above point a bit straighter.

Dewsbury's points difference against Workington was only ten points better and they also conceded three tries in the process.

They have played two league games against what you would call weaker sides so their points difference would be inflated (70-0 against London - good defense this time though)

In the three games they have played (including NR) their average points difference against "the weaker" teams is 53.3, ours is 52, not much difference.

PS - They are top for a reason.
