Professional performance from the lads and probably exactly the kind of game we needed. Really impressed with the winger on loan. Well done lads. Onwards and upwards

After reading the updates and taking time to have a think. I recon they've got it all just about right. Fit for purpose
️ ability to expand (as and when needed) ️ Ability to generate non-match day revenue ️
Yes, people will always have an opinion about being stood up or sat down and what end they like to watch etc etc. But fact of the matter is these are subjective preferences and non essential unlike the points above.
I really believe this can be the gate opening up to a brighter future for both clubs. Id hate to see how much time, effort and money goes into maintaining the existing facilities. With that out they way and not a worry, it can all be about producing on the pitch which is why we are all fans at the end of the day.
Up the town, Up the reds

Levi be out for a while I'd say from what I heard.
Shame Walker wasn't available to play in the halves today. Might have been the spark we needed. Still no official news about him?

Well that was a load of dross. Dews thoroughly deserving of the win. Too many errors in our own half, unfortunately from Hutton costing is dearly. Missing carter, jammer and levi at the same time meant we lacked any real threat apart from Galea. Some of our last play kicks were shocking and soo many went unchallenged.
Fulton another solid performance. Wear tried his hardest. Castle would have been my pick for man of the match. Thought he made a difference.
Dust ourselves off and go again

Was always going to be difficult to maintain such high standards after the keighly game. Thought we left plenty of points out there, especially in the 1st half. We were guilty of being a little soft in the middle compared to recent weeks. But a wins a win. Well done.
Fulton never misses does he. Deserved m.o.m. Galea with a superb try at the end never put a foot wrong all game as well.
Referee made some questionable decisions both ways.

After restarting our club’s YouTube channel, we’re trying to gauge what content people would be interested in, beyond match replays and highlights.
If you have any ideas or preferences, please let us know in the comments below.
I think any sort of behind the scenes stuff is brilliant. Matchday or training weeks. Gives people a real insight into the time and effort that goes in before and after the 80 minutes.
Any sort of fun challenges between a few of the players/coaches.

Massive Kudos to jonty, the coaching team and the lads. They're really hitting their straps now and sound like they'll take some beating. Defence is outstanding and sounded like we're were clinical today. Well done. Enjoy the bus back

No Walker in the squad even though looks like we're giving game time to lads who need it?

, Howlett was very good I thought .....
He had a decent game yes. I think he's still a bit raw and still has a fair bit of improvement in him (which is good). I was wincing every time he carried. Always looks like he's going to get hurt

Very good all round today. And probably the best 80 min performance so far this season. Atiga's 3 tries made it an easy decision for man of the match. He's a joy to watch. But everyone else played their part.
Two players I'd like to make a note on are Phillips and Fulton. I think most didn't know what to expect from callum this year after his horrendous injury and not playing alot in the last 18 months. But he looks back to his best! Fulton came in today again, after not seeing much game time and had a great game. Defended brilliantly and well.... his winger got 3 tries! Hope he gets confidence from it and can stay in the team

Big opportunity for Howlett to come back in and impress. He should be chomping at the bit. If Caine is missing also, Stephenson to second row and archer in at 13?

Watched it back. Ref had a decent game. Some others we've had in the past would have spoiled it with daft yellows. Watching it all again, Wear had a real good game. Probing and organising more than I noticed live.

Thought ref was good. Let there be enough of push and shove for a derby game without spoiling the game. As for decisions, can't remember him getting many wrong! If any, it was the penalty against Bradley for a supposed high shot that was clearly an accidental clash of heads that I thought he got wrong.

Well it was far from a classic. But a well deserved victory. Town controlled the game from the start. I'm convinced better conditions would have seen alot more points. Galea was solid and never put a foot wrong. Thought Atiga was well within a shout for M.O.M. Haven were very basic I thought and never really caused us an issue. Apart from a Brannon crash ball, they never really ask alot of questions. But they have the grit to stay in games that will see them pick up wins throughout the season.
Looking forward to Swinton next week and praying for a dry day!

Really need our forwards to dominate today. Stopping the likes of Brennan, Thompson and Pearce is vital. They've been pivotal in how well haven have done. And their new half back looks quality as well. I'm expecting a tight game. Let's hope we have discipline today

Excellent win, sounds like we really kicked on 2nd half and opened up in attack. Defence sounds like it still needs working on though. As usual some ridiculous knee jerk nonsemse in a match thread.
Hold my hands up. At 10-0 down I thought that was it. Off the mark. Good result

Any commentry today?

For me youve got to be doing the basics right before we get anywhere near champagne rugby. If we can't keep hold of the ball, complete our sets to get in good territory and not constantly give penalties away. How do people think we are capable of chucking it about and playing like the harlem globetrotters?
Playing so poor and nearly winning against a competitive side is about the only positive spin that can be put on it

After all the pre-season fixtures and the two cup games it's still pretty clear that us fans aren't sure what our strongest 17 will be. Which isn't a bad thing. Curious to see what people's preferred lineup would be now we've had chance to see everyone.
Galea, Hutton, Levi, Rio, Eccleston, Carter, Weir, Ainley, Doran, Scholey, Howlett, Barnes, Stephenson.
Guy, Farrer, Bradley, Phillips
