Fantastic effort today Massive praise for everyone . With all the injuries I feared the worst but the reports about team morale and team spirit are obviously bang on. Dug in deep when needed against a very big and physical side, who looked like most sides would lay down against and let them steam roll over. Not too be and to play all the second half with just a couple of interchanges is a huge effort and full credit to the players and the fitness coach. Hope that the injuries are not that bad and it would be a huge shame to lose the lad again for a length of time, as said, on his first game back.
Forget what any of our opposition sides say - the start of this season we have looked nothing short of excellent.
The narrowest of defeats to Dewsbury and joint top surely supports this even if we are only a few games in..
This seems to be the most bonded group of players that I have seen since the great promotion team.
had we not had injuries we would have scored more - but it was refreshing to see us continue to play positive despite so much change - this being critical in keeping Worky on back foot...
Not one man let the side down and Fawcett, Spavin, Kesik and Ely just have so many creative options and confidence.
Big well done to the forwards, Scott, Carbutt and Green were all superb....
Difficult again to call a MOM
Well done to TM and Co and let's hope the injuries are not too serious as we need evey player..
Hope Dobek's injury is not too serious...
COYD!!!!!!!!!!
PS Lawtons tackle at end was class and was no way high...
I think it was a head injury that stopped him. He said that he'd been suffering from food poisoning during the week, then took a bang on his head in the early second half, which just stopped him.
My first game today for 18 months. Basically got fed up with the boom and bust, and a spate of redundancy thrown in the middle.
It will not be 18 months until my next game. Great defence, seemed to make good yards at each play, excellent passing and always looking to make the pass. The team spirit was fantastic. Thought the crowd was poor and Rugby of that quality deserves a larger audience. Can't wait for the next game, when other long term absentees will be dragged along. Well done to Tony and the team, and Carl. My faith has been returned.

There was some talk of a bug effecting some of the players and staff. I presume it's the same stomach bug that TM spoke of. Makes the effort today even more praiseworthy
