Chairman LMAO Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 If we do go down, this was the game that sealed it. No team should concede so many points in such a short space of time. Truly appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I didn't go, and would have seen 28-26 as a reasonable score if I hadn't seen that we were winning 26-6 with ten minutes to go. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buford t justice Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 28-26, unbelievable. Not really unbelievable, how many times have we folded and thrown away winning positions this year. Hunslet won and are on a roll, they will relegate us on last day of the season, if ee arent down before then. What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Dick Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Apparently Ainscough tried kicking the ball dead & sliced it & will sharp got it & scored. Kinda sums us up.

TheTerminator Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Incredible. We actually deserve to go down if the last 8-10 minutes of the game were as bad as they sounded on the live commentary. I decided not to go today for a variety of reasons, but was actually really regretting that choice when we were 6-6 at the break - even moreso when we were 26-6 up. Given both the bashing to our confidence this calamity will inflict and the fact Hunslet have a gimme against Doncaster next week, I really fear that the writing is on the wall for us now.

PKK Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm in a daze. 26-22, hooter goes, Ainscough picks a kick through up in acres of space under no pressure, opts to kick it out into touch... Slices it. Fev score. If he'd spilled the kick through, knocked on and picked it up, run it into touch, run and taken the tackle etc. we'd have won. Unbelievable.

greavesy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Another game thrown away. we just do not know how to win the tight matches. I really do fear for our chances of avoiding the drop now. What a terrible season will it ever end?. Three games left for us and we have to win two of those. It is time for the players to deliver forget what has happened today, get out there and do the job for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but the ridiculous thing was it wasn't even close until the last 5 minutes - it should never have got anywhere near close! l despair!! If we were as creative with ball in hand, as we are at throwing matches away, we would be in the top four!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nineoil Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just how stupid can you get - you have the ball in your hands when the hooter is blown but instead of taking the tackle the clot decides to kick the ball in the air and the rest is now history . The Featherstone DVD will be shown around the Rugby League world for years as an example of the most stupid play ever !! These Batley players have invented more ways of giving the ball away this season than I thought possible . It is gross incompetence by the players and to blow a 20 point lead inside 8 minutes takes some doing with Ainscough's party piece after the hooter as the crowning glory !! They had Featherstone on their knees and then pressed the self destruct button with less than 10 minutes to go on the clock after 70 minutes hard work . The only decent try Featherstone scored was the one where Cooke kicked for the winger to burst through . I feel sorry for Kevin and JK because this shambles was down to the sheer lack of professionalism of the Batley players !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKK Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I feel sorry for Kevin and JK because this shambles was down to the sheer lack of professionalism of the Batley players !! Something to consider. I thought it at the time, but wasn't sure whether Craven was injured or not. On around 70 minutes, Alex Brown came on. Why we had a sub winger, I'm not sure. Anyway, Ainscough went to fullback and Browny onto the left wing. What had been a fairly rock solid defence for 70 minutes turned into a farce. If Craven was injured, then fair enough. If he wasn't, then why this substitution? To give Browny a run out? Were we that sure that we'd shut the game out? I wasn't, not going uphill against a team that still had a lot of creativity in their ranks (even if they'd not shown it up to then). We went to after that.

PKK Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't blame Ainscough btw, he's been one of our best players this year and always gives 100%.
