We’ve tried the pass the last few week it breaks down without a good half back in there which woods is…

having watched it back this morning woods was the difference with his kicking game turning the Whitehaven defence around and getting us on the front foot also kicked us 13 in front at crucial moment in the game also he allowed butterworth to catch the ball early and create the space for the outside backs shame we didn’t give Buchanan the ball moments before he scored as he’d of scored two 

Leak and Moore behind the pack that rolled them which is good 

tough one Sunday before York 

Where can i watch the game ?

[Panthers v Dogs]

We matched fax all game.not much in it. Weather was shocking. We really do look clueless near the try line on occasions.  Some bizarre decisions by the ref which all went faxs way. 3 games in and now we are bottom of the league, can't remember last time we were.  Not short on effort at all, it just giant happen. Why were we on a kick off always kicking  to jouffret.  The best player on the park who never dropped a ball all game , but it's always the same we need to really mix things up we are so predictable at times.

Terrible conditions, started to come into the game in the last ten minutes of the first half. Some very poor reffing decisions. Had plenty of sets on Halifax line, just couldn't get over.

Let's hope Woods is back for this one. I didn't really think he did that much last season, but he seems to have stepped up a gear this season.

How's BM going for your lads over at 'Mount? Going for Fax 28 v 14 Batley on Sunday. ️

Great guns.. I know its early in the season, but he is the stand out player so far. As you know BM he will score on Sunday.

[Panthers v Dogs]

Unfortunately I can't go I'm working,  and it's just 2 mins down the road from me.

[Panthers v Dogs]

We really need to roll our sleeves up for this one, which we always seem to do. Always a good slog against fax . I'm going for a Dogs win.

Not a classic, bit of a mudfest, but a wins a win. We'll done rovers. Wakey might not have it all their own way this season after all.

Is match being televised does anyone know. Good luck to your lads today. Hopefully you will turn them over then we draw you at home next round.

[Challenge Cup next round.]

So who would you like to see us drawn against next round. Would it be one of the Championship sides to give us a chance of progressing further, or a top SL side for a good pay day ?  I'd like fax at ours.

Just get the league and the CC out of the way as well then and you will be in clover.

######... got to play more games in CC. Looks like it's gonna be a long season for us.

Brilliant win that is. Sounded like 1st half we did everything wrong, but the bulldog spirit got us over the finish line.

I'm sure I have seen somewhere I can listen on radio. Any one know ?

[Sheffield 1895 cup]

Not fussed at all about this one ,with no monies involved it's an expense we can ill afford.  Widnes means more on sunday.

Lacklustre. The most worrying thing was lack of a plan on 6th tackle. The number of times we just gave it to a prop to drive it in was ridiculous. Did we make even one attacking kick on the 6th tackle (maybe for the Burton try if that was on the 6th). Still it was a win. Thought Rochdale played well and kept going well. We need to get our halfbacks fit, and we need to practice kicking to touch from penalties. Gained very few yards .Lots of effort though, can never criticise Batley for lack of effort.

True in what you say BB. We were very predictable at times especially on the last. I know I keep saying this, but why oh why do we keep on doing the same kick off to the same player who hasn't dropped a ball all afternoon.Cant we try an unexpected short one, or kicking it along the ground to put it out of play to get the ball back. Also as BB says are we not confident to kick to touch on penalties , because we usually have gone through 4 tackles by the time we possibly could have reached the place we could have started with our set of six had we kicked for touch.

[Rochdale Challenge Cup thread]

We gave away a lot of penalties today which gave Rochdale easy yards. Not our best performance of the season, but a wins a win. I thought we played too much 1 man rugby today, but on the plays we did throw it about we looked half decent. Anyway on to Widnes bit of  a tough one , but very winnable.
