  1. What is so frustrating is that we have the ability... we have the ability to be very good, evidenced in parts of the Goole game the Keighley game and the Whitehaven game ... when we play open imaginative rugby! The problem is we dont have the confidence to play that game and we play a predictable unimaginative forward game. I dont expect any changes this season but there is talent in the squad ... I just dont think they believe it or the coach isnt giving them that belief!
  2. Just goes to show... you dont see the bigger picture on the video... We were awful in the first half but had our chances in the second and i am convinced if Hookem had stayed on the pitch we would have won! His game has improved immeasurably this season....
  3. For me Hookem is getting better every game... if he hadn't had to leave the field against Keighley I believe we would have won!
  4. I completely agree about Keenan... he has been excellent so far and his versatility and experience have been a great asset. Regarding Jacob Hookem... I think he improves every game... some one said, on here, he couldn't tackle... and last year I might have agreed but his defence has improved immeasurably and for me he tackles way above his weight.. add to that his general game play which is also getting better... I am no good with stats but I guess he leads our try assist league this season and then there is his goal kicking which is becoming more and more reliable! All in all one of our best!!
  5. It feels like such along time since the last game ... for those who are thinking of going up to Workington the Amber Ribbon are planning to run a bus ... just a few more required to make it viable!! ... If you are thinking of going and would like a place on the coach... please email yvonneashton36@gmail.com
  6. I would be tempted to give Sykes a spot on the bench... he is worth it just for his tackling alone! But he would also give us a proper plan B ... Why not?
  7. Newcastle is a wonderful city.... and a massive job to do! Watching them last week they could use some experience!!
  8. Joking apart... she is a decent referee! Also as many on here have written before wanting ex players to become referees... she is an ex player having played for Saint and England at hooker.
  9. Last week the date was originally classified as a free day... Sam Day had made arrangements so was not considered. Paul Sykes would have started last week but also made himself unavailable. Paul March is aware of the need for an experienced leader on the pitch.... Hopefully we will see that today. Garside our captain is still carrying an elbow injury.
  10. And don't forget the' Whistling Jack Smith!!!' ... wasn't he Kaiser Bills batman??
  11. The silence is deafening!!! .... What an embarrassment!!
  12. Don't think O'Connor is in the squad... think he picked up a knock on Sunday!
  13. Just as a point of clarification. Squad-builder is run independently from the Rams, it is managed by passionate fans who are focussed on helping the club secure the best possible playing squad. Squad-builder values and respects its members and keeps them well informed of developments. Over the past 2 seasons squad-builder has contributed to the contracts of 9 players and has a strict criteria for contributing to players contracts, which has to be met before parting with funds. It is professionally managed and ensures maximum potential value for members valuable contributions!! Please note every penny raised by Squad-builder goes only to player retention and recruitment. If anyone would like further details on squad-builder there is a link to squad-builder on the Rams home page.
  14. I assume you will have found it by now... Dewsbury Reporter / Rams facebook page.
