Not wrong KTF....

Seems to be a move to 'feeder' clubs over here according to sources, agreements between SL and Championship Clubs. It's already there in all but name with Leeds/Hunslet, Warrington/Widnes I believe. Who will decide who pairs with who and decides on how well Championship clubs do out of the system. Knowing our luck we'll get Toulouse or Catalan, as much use as a f*rt in a collander....

Welcome Brad, thank he'll add some real go forward, him and Dixon when fit and in tandem can strengthen our competitive effort against opposite Middles.

Coach can only motivate if players want it, couple of seniors or a couple with bottle need to be stepping up and pulling team-mates into line. Pointing fingers from the stands won't improve anything, for example 1 who is getting flak has just scored his 40th try at a try every game and three quarters, we're playing another scoring winger at centre because the centre who gas come through and impressed can't currently play. A big prop we brought in has had to miss a few, a second rower hasn't been right since Newcastle cup game last year, 2 hard-working props had to make life choices, a trumpeted winger clearly decided he wasn't up to commitment, big centre missed a lot. We had a damned good side on paper, the paper quickly crumpled at the edges but we've shown capabilities, Donny, 2 big wins but we haven't turned those 2 wins into confidence and also not helped by different players missing each week AND facing clubs who seem to bring in umpteen loans just to play us. We're playing against the odds all the time although I'm sure from Chairman down Sunday was a day that nobody could be proud of. This week it just needs putting right. Bring in a decent centre for a couple of weeks, put Derrell back and we go for it this week, these types of games we must win. Those players in situ owe it to the club which is paying them (more than some clubs!) to get behind each other and the coaches, if there's disagreements be man enough to play for the club and yourselves and the bus fans, the drive-alongs who come home and away for Batley. Digit extraction time!!

From YouTube sadly; Woods, kicked well, deep letting chasers get forward, chipped to give lads the ability to challenge, we'll varied, covered more ground than usual and looked in charge. Butterworth, ok 1 bad pass early on try otherwise, but was excellent on attack, made tries, scored, took his kicks. Greensmith, playing his way into a regular start, using his size to good effect, he'll make a good second rower when a spot does become vacant if we don't let him walk. Flynn, Stevens, Hodgson, Parsons all on it and unlucky not to get a vote and finally Akim is showing off his size and putting himself about. After the 1895 job, no reason why, with Felix back we shouldn't go there this week and turn 'em over.

A try too many TotalRL...your tot up makes 50 points! Butterworth scored once....get with the programme!

There were mumblings about the choice of kicker off the touchline Seen It Before....left footed kicker available, ok for those who'd say ' well he kicked 4 others' but they were 10 yards either side of the sticks. However, have to say that he had his better game for us today.

Disappointing, poor game management, conceded too much on tackle 5... Butterworth, great all round game, plenty effort and ground up front, well organised in his defence. Stevens, upped the forwards, drove through, their defence didn't like him. Flynn, solid throughout, ran in hard, deserved his try, knocked some big lads over.

Sorry Mr. McGhee, Woods only kicked 1 goal and a drop, Reynolds kicked a penalty at the very end of the first half. Suggest TRL sends reporters who know the game.
