  1. Their forwards were largely dominant and half backs were more active. Not a special side as many have said, but they beat us relatively easily.
  2. The club was in a mild state of panic at the time. Being run by a committee never helped when decisions needed to be made.
  3. He also acted as coach for a couple of games yet seems to have been airbrushed out of our history.
  4. No half backs makes it difficult to win games of RL. Callum was injured last week, so we don't know how long he will be missing for. Bailey has an ankle injury that looks to keep him out for a few weeks and Brad won't be back for another month at least. I don't know why Rush was absent but he might have picked up a knock as well, who knows? The organising ability their halfs combined with the nous of Fozard and much better timing in running and passing made the difference. On another day, with a full compliment available, we might have won this one.
  5. Injured in training I understand - may be out for 4 weeks. Don't worry Nick, it should give a chance for Restall to get back in. This will be more difficult than last week and we will do well to get anything out of it. I will be happy with another good, committed performance and very happy with any points. It would be nice to get a decent gate with a few more visitors than Batley could muster.
  6. Such a shame that a poor crowd eventually dragged themselves down to the match, which was a joy from a Dewsbury point of view. For the first 20 minutes it was all Batley pressure and we could only kick our possession away from poor positions. Then from some clever play down the left by O'Connor we were away for a breakaway try and never really looked back after that. The players lifted themselves and improved by the minute as Batley seemed to fade away. the second half seemed to pass much more quickly than the first, thanks to our dominance. I ended up disappointed to concede that try right at the end as I so wanted to nil them - never mind. I confess to being a little baffled by the team selection and was critical of it before the game. However, each player put a really good shift in against a fair bit of niggle and we left the pitch with our heads held high. A great afternoon's entertainment for those fans who could make it. I hope that Turner's injury isn't serious - he played very well today.
  7. You dominated us for the first 20 minutes and it was looking one-sided but you had no final play other than a kick; I don't think any of your players actually made a break. Once we scored with a first bit of skill our heads went up and yours went down. Eventually I ended up disappointed that you scored right at the death. There was a lot of niggle in the second half, no doubt from both sides, but your players got sucked into seeking revenge and forgetting about the game. One or two are now looking like they are relying upon past performances keeping them in the team, unless you have no other options.
  8. Scrum half or stand off? I saw a short video clip of the Giants A team against London and he seems to prefer playing a little wider, so stand off would probably be best. Maybe with Hookem at hooker as well. Looking at the 21 that has been listed Dale will have some interesting decisions to make.
  9. Whilst Cas have loaned players elsewhere. Why do you think that is? I trust that you aren't objecting to loan players are you?
  10. Supper for me after the match - silk dressing gown and slippers, naturally.
  11. Thanks. Brain fog - post now amended.
  12. Let's hope that the Dogs left it all on the pitch on Saturday and are slow to recover. Rams 19 - 16 Dogs Att: 1250, but will we ever know? FTS: Rush MoM: Bibby
