Just watched the game back on U Tube and the score looked about right.Slack attempt tackle by Webb for Barrows first try but he more than makes up for it with his performances overall.Reynolds,Addy,Aekins,King V, and Jubb were the stand outs for me.Barrow did not lay on after the tackle like most teams.They got up rather quickly and back into the defensive line.Moran was ok again he certainly tries hard.Hampshire did his usual kick straight into touch again but then followed up with a nice chip over the defence for Reynolds to score.Unusual for Josh to put in a short kick for his winger but it was spot on.

England win the bronze medal with a convincing display against France 149-84 Well deserved they led all the game and France never really got close enough to put pressure on.Two days at home then daughter in law is off to Las Vegas Rollercon a festival of all aspects on roller skating.Then in November she is off to Argentina coaching.And back to Rugby for me.

Semi Final results USA 226 France 63 Australia 133 England 117 .so the top two teams make the final same as 2018.England were just behind at half time 63-62 but in the first period after half time Australia built up a lead although England finished strongly with 15 late points they never looked like pegging the Aussies back.It will be a play off with France for the Bronze medal.England have shown vast improvement for a newly put together team,most only playing together since early February.In 2018 Australia beat England 222-106 in the semi and England lost for bronze against Canada.

Just in semis are USA V France and Australia v England.8 am our time but our young un paid £30 to stream the games and only gets a circle going round on the tv.But he gets a small picture on his smart phone.A bit like us up at Barrow.

Results so far for England = England 324 Mexico 50 /England 236 Belgium 26 /England 241 Italy 37 /England 142 Argentina 80 so the defence under my daughter in law is performing well.Argentina gave them a tough game and they were an unknown quality.Improving greatly since the last World Cup in 2018 before Covid.So the semi finalists are USA England Australia and France.I don't know the match ups yet but the other three will want to dodge USA who have won all the previous World Cups. Our young un has been a Liverpool supporter for 36 years and i went to Anfield today to pay respects to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva after that tragic accident.Diago always played the right way finding space and like the best players being in the right place at the right time to snatch a goal.A remarkable fact is Liverpool never lost when Diago scored.They both will be sadly missed.R.I.P.

Great awareness by Hanley looking inside,And Ipape backing up like all good hookers and half backs should.

Yes that's what i make it but don'r know how recent.I checked on the Hull KR website but couldn't find anything.

As TPH suggests Ruan plays in the second row and is 23 years old.He played for Donny in 2022 so he would only be 20 then which is young for a forward.And scored 6 tries in 21 games so he clearly knows where the try line is.

I agree i said Fev by 10 at Barrow not so confident on Sunday.They gave Hunslet a right thrashing after we struggled against them.And an excellent win at home to Bradford last week,so it may be a close game.

Coolie has gone rather quiet.How are Dewsbury doing ?.

Moran has been ok when on the field he has had a go.

I digress from yesterdays game to say Daughter in Law flies out to Innsbruck Tues with the England woman's roller derby team.She is captain of the defence team and her friend who lives in Colorado USA is captain of the offence.She qualifies as her mother was born in England and was not picked in the very strong USA team.Daughter in Law's sponsor sent over some new skates $1300.Old ones were held together with gaffer tape.

Results on the field every time but we are not in that situation now.I would have the top three in the Championship promoted but if Bradford are one of them they must play out of another stadium in Bradford or relinquish their place.Who do you support i suppose one of the locked in SL teams.

Something all rugby league is falling down on.Not much incentive for away supporters often charging higher walk up prices.I know KR are usually full house but other SL teams should charge away supporters £15 and in the Championship £10.But clubs would rather play in half or less empty stadiums.

I don't mind who is promoted Toulouse ,York ,London even Bradford but not if they are playing out of Odsal.It has had it's day .SL certainly needs freshening up a couple of new teams might do that.Although i would replace Salford and add another two .three in total and do away with the stupid loop fixtures.

Don't vote on the man of match forum as it is a team game that needs all players to fit the structure.But i thought Brad Day tried his heart out today.

Agree sticking twos up is over the top without supporters there is no game.When i played amateur i often played the bad guy.Often being call dirty bar steward by the home supporters.When near the touchline within touching distance i would smile and wink at them.Often after the game i would get tapped on the back and supporters would say well played ####.Usually at Sharlston or Purston park against Jubilee.

Promotion to SL is done on a spread sheet.What do results on the field matter.

We played better than we did against Fax but York are a better team.

It's ok for supporters to slag players off but not for players to give a bit back not for me.Harris had a great game outplaying our two ex SL halves.When we were going toe to toe with Leigh in the Championship at The Sports Village Ryan Brierley scored a try and threw the ball into the Fev supporters.The chap a couple of rows in front moved to dodge it and i ended up with 3/4 pint of beer all over me.I also remember the great Billy Boston getting fed up with racial language from a supporter and he jumped over the wall and went up the terrace after him.Lucky for the supporter Billy did not catch him.

Made my day

York much too strong in the middle for us that's probably why our tries were scored out wide.As stated earlier they are the best team in the Championship at the moment.Harris was very influential his passes splitting the defensive line.Hampshire did his customary straight into touch but at least Reynolds landed that 40/20.Some of is high kicks into the corner seemed pointless.Thought we should have had another kick when Wynne scored his second try as the York player slide in with the knees after the ball was grounded.Mcshane dropped the ball for the last York try and i thought the York try before that came off a forward pass.I think only a few supporters really though we might win against a very good York side.Think a 14 point margin would have reflected the game better as York made plenty of mistakes.

That was a very good Cas try ,superb passing skills.

They are making it up as they go along,clearly obstruction by Smith.

Good individual try by Seyzer the Wolves defence made him look better than he is.
