2 seasons when we were dire under Diskin...

That does actually surprise me Roger!

As an aside....if DaleM gets another try and moved into double figures, when was the last time we had 3 players do that in the same season?

Honorable mentions to EVERYBODY on that 2nd half blitz but we gave look at tge people who drive the thing in general; Gilmore...if he could get into the game before about 15 minutes have gone we'd be REALLY dangerous Leaky...(not to say that Benny Kaye's contribution is negligible as he and Manu are largely responsible for fronting up their pack early doors) just look at his breaks and darts today. Wardy, immense charges today; just beat Cropper in the sounds of contact. Sorry to everyone else for not making my 3!

He'd now be 5th choice winger.....

Class georgeB1!!

36-14 think Thunder wil present a stiffer opposition.

100% with you, speaking as one who always has enough to say!!

Sad that fans have to vent such feelings you Thunderers and maybe even sadder that your board and/or staff and players aren't reacting to it. I know some clubs must be lower in the league for others to be doing well but despite local emnities ie us and Dewsbury I take no pleasure in seeing clubs continually struggling (and we've been there in years past). You just need to stick with it. Hope you turn up on Sunday and let your lads know you're on their side not on their backs!

Going full-time really put pressure on a whole load of players who were neither good enough or ready for that pressure. I don't think we'll put another 46 on 'em though it would be nice....36-14.

Thought we went out determined not to get into the same scrappy affair as we faced up there. From the first tackle I think Workington knew that. Having said that they did try to keep playing.

Gilmore; scored, provided led from the front and continues a high % of goal conversions. Brown; at his best for ages. Morton; reason he's not top is because he only had to fall down for 3 of his tries, but deserves a mention for his catching and driving out.

He was listed at 9 then! Why would I be bitter, it's not my lad for example is it? I just think that a squad is compiled for specific reasons ie injury and suspension cover then can't be used during those reasons.

And now we've converted Jimmy Meadows into a hooker! Absolutely mystified.....

As said elsewhere 46-14, the mojo is back.

It'll be a different story for Worky down here, we too will be bouncing off the back of today. 46-14.

A full 80 from Leaky then, why haven't we recalled Burton? Agree that this is a banana skin, Haven are no mugs at home, we'll have to be better than Worky, Rams n London.

The lads know they have to tighten up their game to take on 'Haven up there. Since beating Barrow we've not been on great form but we can't go on winning ugly. Of the 3 Cumbrian teams Whitehaven have the game to turn an ugly win into a disappointing defeat.

Agree with BillH....

Cheers Bob.

As of last night (Monday) I have been able to see highlights of EVERY weekend game EXCEPT ours,....why? Not being kept under lock and key for any disciplinary reasons?

Best period was 50 to 70 minutes Redditch 4 tries in there, then reverted. Agree with others, the sporadic essence doesn't do our game any good. We're a team which thrives on doing a good job, talking it over, brushing up and doing the same in a clockwork fashion and gaps don't always do us good.

BTW what happened to Pez, never saw him go off?

Hope you pick up Rog!

Agree with the comment about such as Gledhill and surprisingly today Walshaw. There needs to be a bit more space to get them moving sometimes 2 out so there is momentum when they come on at speed. We were decidedly second best for a good 55 minutes and were looking confused and incapable for most of that time. Fortunately we remembered in time that we had played together before and did what we can, 3 tries in +- 8 minutes just swung it and nice to see Reilly with a turn of pace just to show the above guys how to crash on. 2 Cumbrian teams up next, more steel will be needed fir those.
