Should be another good attendance on Sunday for the visit of Fev Rovers.

Hopefully we won't have any new injuries from the last game.

Anthony Thackeray should get a warm welcome back, hopefully a quiet game for him.Just seen they now have Robbie Ward back from Australia too.

Rams 28 - 26 Rovers,attendance 1345.

We need to watch Thacks like a hawk. Anybody who has seen him play will know what his party piece is. It's when he does his trademark 'show and go'. Basically, he gets the ball and looks for all the money in the world as though he's going to pass or kick it, and within the blink of an eye he's gone through a gap as narrow as a cigarette paper and scored a try.

I've seen him do it to us, and seen him do it for us.

All players pleased be warned.

"One trick pony" as the 'Fax fans said when he left them. Not a bad trick though.

More often than not he does it when moving right and always steps off his right foot. Knowing about it and stopping it aren't always the same thing though.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

I can't see the problem myself, all we have to do is put in our usual tackling stint and ... Oh !

We watched Thacks like a hawk at the away match and kept him quiet. They however knew this would happen and had Briggs and Ellis to do the damage. We need to keep an eye on everyone.

I suspect it will be tight again. Both us (Fev,) and you had good victories at Whitehaven recently and Fev followed up with a stunning victory over the Broncos. It's a great atmosphere at your place looking forward to it.

Do we ever get two decent results on the trot nowadays? Let's hope so, we need this. Head says a Fev win but I'll go with the heart this week:

 

Rams 22 - 18 Flatcappers

 

FTS Grant

 

Att 1350

Looking at both teams' squads, on paper it looks a stronger team for Fev over us and on that basis I think our visitors will triumph over our lads.

Dewsbury 16-28 Feathwrstone

FTS: Sykes

MoM: Sykes

Att: 1624

Legs, Dews, Legs.

One thing for sure is if we do win it will give us a huge lift ahead of the bash

 

Can't see us beating Cas reserves.

:lol: let's hope not. Perhaps Dewsbury could dual reg with a much better team, I don't know say Batley or Oldham for example!

Or maybe just stick by the principles that they declared at the start of the season?

 

Naah, only idiots stick to their principles, don't they?

Doing us a favour.

I don't see how 9'O can make it clearer.

 

But why does doing you lot a favour make sense SJS?

 

(And when did any of 9'Os posts make sense either?)

 Ask Graham. He worked it out when he'd sobered up.

(And when did any of 9'Os posts make sense either?)

You've got me with that one.

Although, upon reflection, even your lad Coolie had the occasional lucid moment (before his ban), and I've seen a couple of sensible posts from Equalizer. Perhaps you're being a tad harsh on Carlinghow's finest.
