    I’d have thought 

    I’d have thought he would have been asked.  He might have spent a tad too much but had he not no one would have been up there celebrating on Saturday- cos we would have won nowt. I won’t say anything bad about him.  One of best teams we ever had. 
    At the same time we owe MS a massive debt of gratitude. 

    I don’t he’s even living in the area now.The stuff I’ve heard about Bob McDermott over the last few months. Anyway that’s not for this forum.

  2. I thoroughly enjoyed last night,great talking to Ned and the players from the grand final of 2000,I swear some of them just look the same as they did 25 years ago,wonder if they are free next Sunday 😂Great entertainment by the band Gods of Fortune. Thanks to all that organised and made this possible,but a special mention to the compare who was also very good in interviewing the players.

    Oh please don't get my hopes up 

    The destroyer of young players dreams

    "Sorry son your just not good enough"

    Said to many a young lad 🤔

    Don't think Hooley & Flynn would be happy to see him at Batley 🤔

    Oh I don’t know,I reckon Tom would welcome him with open arms 😂

    And before any talks about "building for the future", any player will leave if they get a better offer. Look at last year's squad, how many of them stayed?

    To be fair we knew at least four players were leaving and we hadn’t got a third way through the season. For me I’d start with jack McShane and bring Sam Day off the bench so we can give Jack a breather,then have them both on together.

    I’d settle for a Billy Pickup.😕Or even a Michael Hunte (for the even older ones).🤔

    Oh Jesus I’m showing my age now,I remember both.

    Did anyone notice how long the Dewsbury kicker was taking? It's time we followed the Ra ra's time limit 

    And did you notice the referee stopping the clock?

    Great win, well done to the players 

    If I'm honest I didn't see this result coming today. When we conceded just on half time, again I freaked the worst. But to nill them in second half is an achievement in itself for us. Well done lads,look forward to hear comments from them that went.

    I thought our squad should be a serious top 4 contender this season. But we look an outside bet even for 4th place now with only half the season gone. 

    Anyone knows what's happened to Tommy Brearley and Jack Briggs?

     

    Still a lot of rugby to be played yet before we start writing our season off.

    Tommy Brierley is out for the season and jack Briggs as had issues with his head knock he picked up earlier this season I think.

    Ditto. If the Rams off field business activities continue to be obstructed though, the end might be sooner than we’d hoped. 🤬

    It’s getting harder for us due to local residents complaining about the noise from the car boot,game day etc.

    Whitehaven had one player in the bin, not 2. It was opposite side of pitch from us and original penalty was given for lifting a Dews players leg above the horizontal. Not a usual bin offence as he was not dropped on his head etc so could have been for talking back to ref after penalty award. Radio commentators were on opposite side of pitch from us so would have a different angle to view the drop goal attempts.

    Just watched highlights and he was definitely dropped on his head.

    Season, and career I would imagine. A great player when fit but, if you look at the stats he has hardly played for us over the last three seasons. Anyone remember Billy Pickup?

    Yes I remember Billy Pickup,we signed him at the end of his career really.

    Back to Dale,he said he’s happy to help out on the coaching side with the young players.

    I thought they might complete the season and then withdraw. I think we all knew the Kernow adventure wouldn’t last.

    I did hear a rumour that Cornwall wouldn't start this season and Bedford would be taking their place. It's sad but I think we've all seen this coming. 

  13. Cornwall have announced that they're withdrawing from league one with immediate effect. Very sad news,but if I'm honest I've seen it coming.

    The ref certainly has no problem with communication 😊

    Two stupid attempted trips from Delaney. He could easily have been binned again after 2nd Swinton try. 

    But great to see Ferguson playing up the middle wreaking havoc.

    Was Delaney sin binned for the first attempted trip? Because the match report say dissent. I’m not condoning what he did,but the way the Swinton player went down was pathetic. The Fergie one that stood out for me was when he put big Adam Sidlow on his backside😂
