John Kear back as coach until the end of the season! Just announced.

Well said Scrim Reaper; in my opinion a very reasonable and sensible summary of the situation.

Thoroughly enjoyable game. Barrow will gain a lot of friends with their brand of Rugby. And five tries from the Bulldogs was a treat.

That's good to know. Like Phildog I'd not picked up on Facebook comments.

Any news on Render's injury?

Brown Dean Woods

No Brown in the squad? He will be missed.

I've checked out Luke Thomas online. Wikepedia say that he is 0.79 inches tall and weights 629 stone. That should be interesting!

Kear has played rather more International games on the wing than at centre Phil. He is a versatile player though with lots of appearances at club level at centre, lots at full back, some at half back and the highest number on the wing. He's a great squad player.

Well, thanks for the clarification.

Burton (for the bit of magic that put us level) Moore Greensmith

A quick search online shows him to be a 20 year old Cumbrian on Wakefield's books. Ex Warrington, he has played a few games for Whitehaven and Workington and is described as a prop and a back row forward.

That's good news KTF. Thanks for information. I think that one more big body on the bench would have made a huge difference yesterday.

Myers White Render

If it's the game that I recall Toohey was the goalkicker who only converted one try but he won a competition in which he kicked 11 out of twelve goals, eight of them from the touchline, and which I believe was the same season. I recall Pakside looking very run down. I think that the great Geof Gunney, normally a second row forward, turned out at full back for Hunslet that day and had a bit of an altercation with Jack Thomas, Martyn's second row partner. Does any of this ring a bell Phil?

Not crossed firmly enough. Eighteen apiece is a great though, considering Oldham's form coming into the game.

Guess who's winning at Oldham! Fingers firmly crossed.

Manning Butterworth Kear

It certainly used to be BSJ

Now you think that I don't know what hyperbole is, no wonder I'm senstive (especially as I can't remember what I did yesterday). Good luck for the new season and I hope to run into you next Boxing Day.

Seemingly now owned be Ferrera and exported to Europe, Asia and North America. Your comments are fair but what defines the word "World Famous"? In the absence of a scientific definition of World Famous perhaps you should allow we Batleyites some reflected glory. There is not a lot to crow about these days in the Heavy Woolen District. By the way..........Happy New Year BSJ Bill

Well, I guess I can work out the squad numbers for myself now all bar two or three positions. Thanks for the feedback.
