That's a good summary Jemmo.

I can't ever remember the forwards doing a job on a team like we did yesterday. The only criticism is that we did look clunky in attack at times. We needed a few more dummy runners and didn't always make the most of overlaps when we had them.

I will now enjoy watching the highlights!

Brett Ferrres seemed to get involved more & Mutagi had his best game so far for me.

https://youtu.be/MSO0km9HA5k Just found these highlights from Dewsbury. Think I have copied the link at the right time if not it is 1:38. Greg is held up in the in goal and one of there's starts having ago around his face and neck. The ref sees this and instead of blowing a penalty tells him and I quote: 'Chill out... Just Chill out mate. Just calm down.' Surely that is not an appropriate response. You have caught him in aggressive illegal behaviour that was so aggressive it warranted three separate instructions to chill out/calm down in 13 seconds and yet no penalty or tackle count wipe? Can anyone make that make sense at all?

I did say I was going to watch it, Wilf! I had no idea it was a silent movie at that time!

I thought my computer speakers weren't working. Watched one of the player interviews afterwards just to see if the problem was at my end. Thankfully, my speakers were working okay!

Solid without being spectacular i think perfectly sums it up, negatives were as already said very clunky in attack, we left at least 20pts out there, positives we're our completion rate was better, penalty count was in our favour, notable performances in burns, matagi, hall, guzdek although nobody had a bad game, and 2pts in this league is always a good 2pts so all in all more positives than negatives.

Dale Ferguson has quit as Dewsbury coach and said he feels he can contribute more as a player instead of as a coach.

I suppose we will never know how much our game contributed to that decision but interesting none the less

It's not been the ideal first job and I feel for the guy but this is probably for the best

From what I heard, he was given the same budget for this year as the one he had last year. He was onto a hiding to nothing in those circumstances.

After last weekend's Dewsbury performance, I think he's right in that he could do more if he was on the field. I wish him well.

He's ended up as an inexperienced coach with an inexperienced team being lead around by and old man who (if Sunday is anything to go by) doesn't have his heart in it
