Tyrone Shoelaces

He probably means Alex Murphy. The best scrum half I ever saw bar none but also one who liked to referee the game at the same time.

They must be the strongest team in the league. They’re holding all the other teams up.

Whole hearted player for sure. As you say always gives 100% effort. He never got a fair crack of the whip at Hornets in my opinion.

Well it wouldn’t be for the lack of trying would it ?

It’s Rugby League mate, it’s not for the faint hearted out there.

So every time the lad doesn’t get a penalty he thinks he should have he loses the plot ? He isn’t long for this game if that’s the case.

You want Chase suspending for a “ push “ ? What’s the game coming to ? The day it gets like football will be the day I give up.

I see our landlords play the current top of the league tonight. There was a time I would have gone to that just out of interest. Not any more though.

I agree Doug. One of the first coaches I ever had said “ Don’t be a good loser but be a good winner “. Respect your opponents, you’ve won the game, that’s enough. Discipline has improved massively under the new coach but we’re not out of the woods yet.

That’s a bit harsh.

If Chase fouled the Oldham player how did we get the penalty ? A push in the back ? We’re talking Rugby League here, not Premier League football.

I thought the ref favoured Oldham in the first half. Second half he evened it up.

As I understand it we play North Wales away next Sunday and Swinton host Doncaster. Of course it could change at any time.

Ben O’Keefe ? I would have been surprised there. As I suggested before the game it was a pretty close encounter. We just pulled away in the second half. We just had a bit more class in McNally, Chase, Bennion etc. I thought the ref favoured Oldham most of the first half then in the second half he favoured Hornets. It’s a big help when the officials are piggybacking you down the field. We need to come up with a coherent plan to deal with the short kick offs. Oldham did three and one way or another they came away with the ball each time. We could have done without the brawl at the end, the game was won, just don’t get involved.

It’s gonna be close. We’ve too many players missing for one reason or another.

Yes we gave it our best shot. Everyone of the 14 who put their hands up to play deserve a medal. The Cougars are the last team you’d want to play without a subs bench. For an hour we were well in the game then the lack of fresh legs started to tell on our go forward. Lets see if we can come up with 17 players for next weeks game.

That doesn’t sound good. What’s happened to the squad ?

I know what you mean but Yorkshire dosh is as good as anybody else’s.

We play Keighley next week.

How were we on our knees when we left the Athletic Grounds ? We’d just sold the ground to Morrisons for mega bucks. What happened to the mega bucks subsequently is another story. I’ve seen the books for that period and we’d loads in the bank ( over £1 million ).

The next time somebody kicks you in the nuts - show them the hand of friendship.

4 tries to our 5.

I don’t see many positives coming Hornets way since the football club got a new board recently. Before they started throwing their weight around relations between the two clubs were pretty amicable. I would have thought the football club have got enough battles to fight without looking for more.

You could try counting them at the next home game.

Where’s Sheridan ?
