We definitely had a better game plan in the second half. Running in harder and straighter, instead of running across the pitch as in the first half. The new out half had a quiet game but that’s understandable given he barely knows the players. He kicked well for goal though. Those goals were crucial at the end.

We did it the hard way today against a very dogged and determined Hurricanes side. There was too many poor decisions made and we were panicking near their line. How we managed to blow that 3 on 1 in the first half I don’t know. A perfect example - we had them pinned on the last tackle half way into their half. They kicked and a Hornets player ran into the kicker. It wasn’t much at all but their guy made the most of it and went down like he’d been hit with a bus. Even the dogs in the street know you can’t make contact with the kicker. So from being on their 25 we were defending from where the ball landed on our 25. We can’t make mistakes like that next week.

Right, I didn’t know that.

I couldn’t believe it when I heard Hornets had released him. He was great for us, never gave less than 100% in every game. Scores tries and he was a very decent stand in goal kicker. Our loss is your gain. Very strange decision.

Mm, is the condescending ##### ne refers to Nigel Farage ?

What a good result in our never ending run of away fixtures.

I was starting to get worried about my maths.

Or 30 points.

That’s a big win, I was expecting a much closer game.

Well done lads. Winning down there keeps up the winning streak. Good to see Nixon back on the score sheet. On to Hunslet now,

I’d high hopes of todays game but one team turned up and the other didn’t unfortunately.

Most of them were a lot better than todays snooze fest.

Poor game for the neutral. Bags of effort but not much craft or skill on display. What happened to the days when the RL cup final followed the football cup final and massively out shone it as a spectacle ?

That didn’t age well did it ?

I was just thinking that when I looked at the fixture list to see when the next home game was - 2 months away. It’s just not sustainable. When I was a kid the football pitch was a real mess come the last game of the season. There would be a diamond going from one goal mouth out to the wings on the half way line and back to the other goal. Hardly any grass to speak of inside that diamond. Come the middle of August the pitch would be perfect again. Looking at the pitch today it wasn’t in anything like that condition yet we have to play away for 2 months every year. Any momentum we manage to build up is just lost.
