Positives - No trip to London. Callum had another strong game. Levi looks a dangerous ball carrier tha I'd like to see in the centres. The more ball he has, the more effective he will be. Like the look of Farrer. Negatives - no leadership with the ball. High errors and penalties. Lucky it wasn't a league game. Score board knackered (again). Let's hope we are a bit sharper and threatening come next week.

Expecting a close game. Dewsbury's squad is similar to our. Quite a few experienced heads that have played this level and higher for a number of years. Fully expect them to be up there at the top end of the table so should be a good measuring stick today.

By the way. How cold was it!!

Just home from an enjoyable evening. Town - Although we didn't get a point on the board I seen more than enough to be confident we will go well this year. We didn't actually play poorly at all, just the speed and control at the ruck and line speed from leigh was way more superior to what we are used to. Wraps to all that put soo much effort into making tonight a success. Leigh - Well.... they've gained a fan tonight. The full back (forget his name) before he went off looks absolute dynamite and Lachlan Lam could find space on the Mumbai express. What a player. Referee- hard game to show consistency when there is such a gulf in speed/control between two teams. But wish he let a bit more slide than he did.

Hope everyone enjoys the occasion. Sure our lads are gonna rip in and do the club proud

1000 adults I'd seen earlier. Not a bad start with 4 days still to go. Hopefully a dry night will sway a few as well

3k would be good I think

Lucky you. Is she going the game as well?

A day for up your jumper kinda rugby. On course to beat the handicap

I believe maizen is waiting to hear back from the rfl about a ban

Have we any more friendlies? Still a few in the squad who will be going into a season with 0 minutes under their belt. If the poor performance gives us anything, it's an added bit of spice for the league campaign

Bit of a stinker that.

Good luck picking a 17 from that squad! Great signings. MASSIVE competition for places. I genuinely couldn't tell you what our strongest side will be which a testament to the board and recruitment team. Bring on the season

Going to make for a good game. Town have assembled a squad worth getting excited about. And equally, it will be good to see all the lads from the community game step up. There will be alot of lads on show from the amateur game that will spend the rest of their playing careers servicing one of the cumbrian sides no doubt. I'm sure it will br a bumper crowd as well

I'm sure jonty will have a headache when it comes to naming a 17 which is a bonus. Stephenson would be my pick for starting loose. Very impressive.

Difficult 2nd half where we had to defend in our own 40 for most of it. But overall a satisfactory 1st hit out I thought. Well done

Very positive 40mins for a first hit out in difficult conditions. Can't tell which is a champ or L1 side.

Looks a belter

I'd imagine they've judged how he has coped with pre season before offering the contract? Quality and experience. Will go well in L1

Been teased about a new signing or two for the past 4 weeks

Callum?

Pone Tongia. Certainly didn't get utilised as much as we would all have liked. I'd like to see him again in a town shirt and given a fair crack.

Even if it was possible, signing dion would be the biggest own goal by and board ever considering all the hard work that has went into having fantastic women's sport associated with the club.

What's the hold up in announcing the two players we have signed up?

Who knows, hopepfully in a year or two he might be back. A shining example of what some of the community players are capable of. In his time with us he was a consistent professional, a consistent performer and a consistent improver.
