To be honest I didn’t expect a win yesterday,but I didn’t expect a tonking either. To concede 50 points to a team that in my opinion are going to be down at the bottom end of the table like us is not good. I didn’t go so I can’t really comment on the performance,but the score line tell me everything I need to know. The feedback what I’m getting from the supporters that did go is our fitness and how poor it is. Where’s young Rush from the Giants,anyone know?

I’d say so.

Having watched the highlights it was a game of two halves. Conceding four tries in 9 minutes is very poor. A very good second half and scoring some good tries,thought we were unlucky to have the Carr try ruled out. We need to stop the offloads when we’ve got 2 and 3 men in the tackle. Anyway onto the Swinton game,who also like to offload in the tackle.

Maybe Rush’s injury is worse than they thought. Biggest surprise is the inclusion of Brad Graham. I’d start with Beckett and Dixon at prop to hopefully put on front foot. Barrow 22 Rams 10 fts Whiteley mom Davies

Aren’t they running buses from the Victoria pub Carlinghow now?

Thought O’Connor,Turner and Rush were big losses for us,especially in the kicking game. Widnes were nothing special in my opinion,their bench made a difference,especially Fozard who caused us plenty of problems. I still believe that this team can get enough wins for us to avoid relegation,but we’ll see. Anyway we go on the road now for our next 3 games so we’ll see where we are at the end of the month.

Done ankle ligaments apparently.

Personally I've not heard of this referee,but it's not about the officials it's about us. Another tough game but it's one I think we can win,but to do so I think we'll have to up our performance from last week against Batley. Will we go with the same team as last week or will we restore Restall to full back In the past we've moaned about chopping and changing the side other than for injuries or suspensions. For me personally I'd stick with the same team. Rams 16 Widnes 12 Fts Whiteley Mom O'Connor Att who knows

I’d put him at stand off. Hookem at hooker and with Dixon back from suspension that will give us more power in the forwards. Restall back to fullback with O’Connor back in centre.

Not that I’m aware of. I don’t like DR but there are bigger clubs than us with bigger budgets that are hooking up with clubs so why not us. Due to Dale been very poorly in the off-season our preparation and recruitment was disrupted so Dale probably asn’t seen enough of some players just to throw them in,we could get away with it last season in league one but not in the championship. Anyway with a bit of luck we can get one or two players in on long term loans,especially Rush.

No,he served his suspension against York and Halifax. I’d start with Rush in the halves.

Just seen the squad for Friday. No Paul Sykes

When you get to a age where you get your days mixed upit will come to you

I heard different,I suppose it depends who you talk to.

Hooray it’s the start of the league season and first up is Halifax. We will need to improve hell of a lot to what we’ve seen against Keighley,Bradford and York to get anything from this game. I’ve heard over the weekend that Huddersfield are sending some players our way,as we will be without Ronan Dixon and Paul Sykes I think we’ll need them. As we’ve all seen on another post everyone is tipping us to finish bottom and what I’ve seen so far I can’t argue with that. Rams 10 Halifax 28 FTS Whiteley MOM O’Connor ATT who knows.

Spare a thought for me and anyone else that’s in a similar position. After following the club from been a little lad I was eligible for a concession this season only for the club to do away with it. But like Crown Flatter says I can understand as probably 80%+ of our supporters are concessions,which is sad really.

Bang on,I said this in our last game of the season at Doncaster.

I thought I was on the Rams forum for a minute

I’d go along with that,but unfortunately I think Carr will be missing as he did his hamstring in the warm up on Sunday. Don’t think it’s serious though

Hookem and O'Connor in the halves.

Last pre season game this coming Sunday against Huddersfield before we go into the serious stuff. Fergie's last chance to have a look at the players and see what his squad will be for the Keighley Cup game the week after. Not seen Giants squad for the so hard to make any predictions,either way I hope we go easy on them Rams 10 Giants 34 Fts Carr Mom Restall Att 684

Didn’t go to the game so only the highlights to go on. Scored 3 nice tries through backing up so that’s a positive for me. And with a penalty count of 6-5 it looks like we might have mastered the heart of playing the ball with our feet as well,that’s definitely a positive

He was in our squad last year against Huddersfield,he was on loan.

Might be best 9s in the championship. But the best hooker in the championship is……………Coolie

Heartbreaking for the Andy and the family. Known Tracy for a many years,standing on the terraces of old crown flatt with her and her mum, who used to do the players wages and her late dad,who used to be part of the old committee. You'll certainly be missed around the club. Rip lovely lady xxx
