If there were over 400 people there then the guy counting them in must have had double vision .

Some of the crowds at this level are becoming really worrying, but don't worry according to Sky everything in the garden is rosy.

Well I know the crowd at the Queens match was worrying.

We were hanging on at the end and I thought they had pinched it late on. Not a game for the purists but end to end stuff and we were all biting the fingernails at the end.Dont let the scoreline fool anyone either as I think we are loads better than Hornets. We gave them the points at the beginning with sloppy play and giving away penalties and in reality they shouldnt have been in it.
If theres anything the coaching staff have to do this week its sort out the discipline as we gave away far too many penalties throughout the match and the top sides will punish us for it.
As Jemmo says though the game changed when Kez came on and from then on we looked like scoring every time we went forward.Butterfield also did well when he came on and scored a nice try.

Well done to the lads and best of luck next week as I cant be there for the cup game.

Wasn't I banging on about penalties and discipline being a big contributor to our defeat against Dewsbury?
And that Miller should address it?
Waste of time then?

The ref was keen with both teams but we need to learn from it early on.I dont know what the penalty count was yesterday but we seemed to give more away late on when we were hanging on.Trouble was it was giving Hornets good field position and inviting them on.
