Yorks Tim

I really enjoyed the Malaysian chicken curry that the Henry Bessemer Wetherspoons in Workington had on as a special. Not sure the 2 free pints of Thornbridge Jaipur that were part of the deal was a good idea, all things considered. It did mean I could get to sleep without thinking about the rugby though so there is that... We go again, as they say, just hopefully for 80 minutes next time.

Decent 21 announced

I'm expecting another scrappy game with both sides needing to find consistent form after good starts to the season. If we make another step up in the way we did against Rochdale, I think we can win here again. If not then it's not the end of the world but does put pressure on us to get results at Swinton and Whitehaven.

Do these insiders know where the money was actually coming from? Sorry if I've missed this further up the thread.

Three home wins but Hurricanes to bring the points back to ther Midlands. Expecting another close game between 2 sides looking to put their recent disappointments behind them. If we cut out the silly mistakes we should have the sparkle to get past Town.

Adnams Ghost Ship perhaps? Adnams website I was going to recommend DryDrinker.com but seems they've gone bust and been taken over by these people: The Alcohol Free Co Worth having a browse.

Just pointing out (as you know of course) that it's ridiculously difficult to attract crowds when you can't put a decent fixture list in front of your local commmunities so that people can find games to attend when they are looking for something to do at the weekend. Gets so much harder when you're based in a community that has no history with rugby league as you've seen if you've been to Birmingham to see my club. Not having a dig at you Unicorn or anyone else. Just adding to the conversation. Looking forward to the trip up this week.

Neither side will be satisfied with their afernoon's work but I'm very happy that Hurricanes ground out the win and returned to 2nd place in the division table. Gives me a bit more confidence of us taking points away at Workington next week. Grateful too to Crusaders for damaging Town's PD today.

I thought the offside decision that denied them the opening goal was harsh but they don't deserve to be getting anything out of this game. France are far superior.

I'm still sore about the loss of the promised away game in Ottawa so that's one. Thinking about the European leagues and whether I could catch a game there - Mad Squirrels maybe.

I'm not even going to try and [redict the scores this week. As we're all saying, they should all be tight matches with all teams capable of winning.

Yes, seems like this was always going to be a blank weekend due to the size of the division.

Point of information: who is providing this loan and who is going to be repaying it?

To be honest, Vikings were nowt special today but, to be fair, made it hard work for Hurricanes and took their big chance when it came. Both sides missing key players of course but Hurricanes should have had enough quality to edge a result in our favour. Had a feeling it might come down to a drop goal and we fluffed our chance and guess what happened next...

I'm also going with all home wins this week.
