Keith T Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Bradford's fast line speed making it very hard for us to make yardage I remember when ............................."It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris.

DavidM Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 You're on a total hiding to nothing going to bradford and leigh . Everywhere else you have at least a glimmer of hope listening in . But it's totally unfair in everything that's against you . The financial power , giving quality players full time rugby is unsurmountable . it's like a tidal wave coming at you . Our season is determined by the more level playing field games - ones we must start winning . We need a clean bill of health here and we need to win on Friday , without doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwent Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 14-0 at half time, not too bad really considering it was that score after 15 minutes so we've kept them scoreless for 25 minutes. 32-0 at Leigh, 7 tries and only 2 conversions or could have been worse for Haven. Thankfully Batley did us and Haven a favour by scoring very late to beat Doncaster 16-14 and keep them on the bottom.

maripins Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Anybody listened to the BCB commentary on line? One of the commentators called Ken Firth must have studied under Mr Cox!! If Town make a mistake he chuckles away,he's blaming the wind and rain for the relatively low score. No mention of a massive full time squad or the funding they got.He sounds like he expects the Bulls to score on every play. One peach, was a ball was ripped out and he reckoned Town player dropped the ball!! Not too happy when we got the penalty.Knocked it off the biased s***e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith T Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Just thinking have us and Haven not missed out by not bringing our game forward to Thursday evening instead of Friday afternoon. It would have given extra time to get fit for our game on Monday. Doncaster have brought their game with Sheffield forward to Wednesday evening to give them a good few days rest before they travel to Haven on Monday.

Derwent Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 18 - 0 now but Town have apparently been playing really well. Commentator summed us up when he said we were hard working and could get territory but didn't have the skill to open up the defence.
