When are we going to get some luck Callum though.
Earlier on in the season, I compared us with Dewsbury who seemed to be perennial mid table survivors rather than othe yoho clubs. So damned by me they seem favourite to join us next year.
As others have said, we are a classic one step forward two steps back club, not being able to consolidate and build on any success achieved. We start building up the attendances and then play poorly and that is reversed very quickly.
We are not sleeping giants but have still potential to compete at the top half of the championship, given as the aBarra fellow says the rub of the green or just some old fashioned luck.
Make your own luck marra. Yes we haven’t been able to consolidate but look at barrow won 13 games in 2 season in CH when they came down with Rochdale... they’ve won more than that now with investment and good off the field stuff. Where’s Donnats marquee been this year? The fan zone is good but in comparison probably doesn’t fetch half as much.

Big respect to all of those players yesterday gave a good account of themselves and weren’t out enthused by any stretch and didn’t stop until the hooter went.
Travellers rest made or very enjoyable with plenty of refreshments and old games.
It certainly didn’t feel like a club on its rear yesterday. UTT

As much as I'm a town fan all the way, there board setting up a meeting with the fans in a few days notice is better then us releasing an announcement saying we are going to make an announcement in due course.
Then as an update release a player to our relegation rivals.
Then all the paycut and further player exit rumours surfice without any mention from the club.
Deadline day for signing players today, will we have 17 players to complete the season and if so are we going to bring anyone in too try and have a go.
Brad holyroyd the x factor last season goes to a league 1 club on loan what the heck did we miss that trick.

Did you all enjoy the commentary?
Was Oscar Thomas our only player on the field? They knew more of Halifax side than Town's. No mention of who was passing, who was tackling took ages before we found out first try scorer Fitzy. So boring 
enough to put anyone off RL. I know I've complained before & I know people have said be grateful but bloody hell do your homework chaps !
If I get another crack hopefully you’ll enjoy it a bit better only had Batley at home this year

We completed better and had more possession in key areas just couldn’t get over there the line. According to the stats. The worrying thing is Barrow and Widnes exploited the kicks to the posts or in-behind well. Basic that your FB keeps the line as one that then doesn’t happen

Listened to this rubbish today and was only made worse by who I believe to be one of the people running a rugby league Facebook page shouting and screaming like a mad man. Thorman would be sacked by any other club, but knows he’s safe as doing so would cost the club a fortune. I’m glad I don’t get to any games as I feel for the guys who pay there hard earned money especially when things are tight
That would be me that
I’ll continue to spend my time and shout . Nice to get the page some recognition though

Workington Town v Newcastle Thunder
Town, Thunder struck as Newcastle claim 1st ever double against the West Cumbrians
Town had 1st use of the ball but knocked on and Thunder immediately capitalised through Issac Knoaks on 2 minutes Riley Dean converting for 6-0.On 6 minutes Town were awarded a penalty for a chicken leg tackle on Fitzsimmons and with it finished 2 meters away.
Thunder were looking to work there way down the town line but for a forward pass to Umlya Hanley. A stoppage in play on 10 minutes was needed for Craig Mullen as he was injured attempting to collect Oscar Thomas’s kick.
Newcastle were in again after 15 minutes through woeful defending as Umyla Hanley worked a 2 on 1 with Alex Foster to go 12-0 up.
Town were quick to respond as old boys Forber and Brown rolled back the years to go through the Thunder defence like a knife through butter and on 20 minutes it was 12-6.
On 22 minutes further Ill discipline from Workington saw Newcastle cross through Josh Eaves, Dean going 3/3 for 18-6.
Thunder thought they were in again but the pass on the last nearly ended up closer to St James Park rather than Kingston Park.
Town were unlucky not to get a knock on decision and then gave away a penalty through a steal. Newcastle got away with a pass that looked marginally flat at best as they went through again for 24-6. Dean completing 4 kicks on 32 minutes and a fairly even contest within the 20 meter zones appeared to be getting away from Town again.
A neat reverse kick from Josh Woods bounced awkwardly off Marcus O’Brien as Brad Day scored the 6th try of the afternoon and Thunders 5th. Dean went 5 from 5 to take the scores to 30-6.
Town were awarded a penalty for offside then found O’Brien on the deck from a high shot. Town looked to be in for a 2nd on the hooter but for fantastic defence.
The 2 half started well for town as Young got a nice offload away as Town completed in attack and defence. However that didn’t last long and the amateurish defence saw Riley Dean slice through half the Town team to score unopposed 2 meters away from the posts.
Thunder went back to back as Thomas and Brown laid injures on the deck, (the game wasn’t stopped as it wasn’t head related) Brad day strolled through the gap left by the pair Dean slotted over for 42-6 on 48 minutes.
Thunder knocked on from kick off to give Town much needed possession which forced a goal line drop out for Town. The referee then awarded Town further possession as Ta’ai had hands in the ruck. Town were through as Glenn Riley battered his way over former Featherstone star Brad Day. Forber went 2 from 2 as on 53 minutes the deficit was 42-12.
Workington seemed to be revitalised by this as Riley and Forber looked to go away again as Clegg went over on 55 minutes. For 42-18.
Town were awarded 6 again from the restart. Going 90 meters. Hanley and his evasion got Thunder a much needed penalty and a fresh set was them given. Town held out and went 50 meters before a 3 on 1 ball steal was surprisingly allowed to go unpunished as Hanley linked well with Clark to put an end to any Town comeback.
Town did get the ball off a short kick off as Newcastle made a mess of it. Town then fell asleep on the last tackle as there was no hooker to play the ball. Thunder where then awarded a penalty for offside.
Hanley scored Thunder’s 10th try as he got to his own kick ahead of Connor Davies. For the 2nd game in a row town had conceded 50 plus points. Dean kicking at 100%
Town were awarded a penalty on 69 minutes as Newcastle were offside from their own kick. A miss communication from Town saw thunder recover the ball 10 from their line. Thunder then registered their sixth, 6 again and 8th penalty for slowing down the play and being offside respectively.
From the ill discipline Town were under the sticks again as Sam Hallsal scored 10 meters from touch. Dean went to a perfect 10 sending Newcastle to 60 on 73 minutes.
Town once again caught the short kick off and played their best set of the game as Clegg scored in the corner to give Town fans a little to go home with. Forber kick landed just short as the scores went to 60-22 with 5 minutes remaining.
Town were forced to drop out from kick off as a huge wind took the ball out of play. Brad Day was held up well from Town.
Thunder finished the game with a hat trick for Wigan Loanee Halsall. Dean going 11 from 11.
The full time score 66-22 and a first double for Thunder over Town.Men of the match Glenn Riley and Alex Clegg

Played brilliantly on the radius, so close but no cigar.
Great commentary with Calum Linford and Stott.
Fear we will look back on these really close games, and say if only.
Cheers Peter late call up 15 before KO
hopefully it wasn't too biased for a 1st attempt at full match.

Is the two week thing not the minimum term? that can be extended or allows a recall should the parent club need them back. Where as I agree we need longer term players A few short term players won't go a miss IMO.
Escare only 1 week at Barrow so wouldn't assume so re 2 weeks
Signings for 2023
