Thought we were ok when we went 6 up but when we had Callum at acting half and Jamie at first receiver for the last part of the game you just new a drop goal was coming to see us home ,always look better with Jamie controlling the game .Hurricanes really just tried to run over the top of us rather than play expansive , and when they did chance their arm we came up with the intercepts .Our defence won the game , don`t know how many times they were held up over the line but must have been in double figures .

Linnets have more of a highish twittering call whereas Greenfinches especially at rest will sit in a tree and give out a little buzz call .

Was out walking the other night and a field mouse appeared walked over stopped by my trainers , walked round and sat between my trainers looking up , then got up walked over my right shoe into the grass , had another look up , then merrily trotted on....weird .

Think we got cocky and complacent , just thought without Bumrah they could just repeat what happened in the first test . India however brought in a couple of all rounders to stiffen the batting , we won the toss , put them in again ( what sort of wicket improves as the match goes on ) and by the 5th day India had the ball doing all sorts of tricks .One more thing bringing the boundary in to make the run chase easier was cheap and classless . I am all for preparing wickets to suit your style as other Nations do , but that was tacky .We got what we deserved for not giving India due respect .

I know we can all make excuses as to our dip in form , but the plain and sample fact is , like so many Teams in this league we have a good best 13 and if you get no injuries every things rosy . We currently have some of our key players out injured and as with any Team without pockets of cash we have to soldier on best we can .

Human equivalent of a Peregrine Falcon .

Not so much a stand out in a bad Team as we had a decent side back then , but Paul Charlton was the player everyone went to see , when He got transferred to Salford the crowds dropped alarmingly .

Something Changed made it for me .

Wasn`t at the game but your comments on needing a play maker sound spot on . even in the early days of the Walshy era we were struggling until we signed Ged Byrne who then led us to promotion and 2 trips to Old Trafford .

The frustrating thing about the whole project is that it was first mooted in 2018 . Thats 7 years of dithering around . Given you can add a very conservative rise in costs of labour and materials of around £50.000 a month it would cost at least £4,200,000 more than when the idea was first put out there . Every delay increases both the cost , the type of stadium affordable and the ever increasing likely hood of nothing happening .

Alex Warren and Ordinary ......had to find out what the fuss was about as it has spent 12 weeks at no 1 apparently . Needn`t have bothered dour , just trots along and very ordinary .

At Workington in my time of watching them Paul Charlton .

we had 4 of our best players missing and a few bad looking injuries during the game which meant our interchanges couldn`t be used as we wanted , but all of Dewsburys last 14 points came when we were in possession and dropped the ball when under no pressure and they scored off the next set of six . Small margins but Dewsbury did the the basics , played out their sets , good kicking game and respected possession .

Everyone has summed the match up pretty well but no one has mentioned the highlight of the match . The bit where Ferres was so busy giving the finger to the crowd , He stepped back into His own player forcing Him to knock on......the man is all class !

Went to the supermarket for a few things the other day . Person parked next to me (as is common these days) was sat in the car lights on , engine running staring at their mobile . 20 mins later brought back my shopping , person was still sat there twiddling away engine still running . Had a quick look around me and 3 other people were doing the same thing ......must be part of the driving test these days .
