Bert Street

Still in Kirklees and a decent ground. Other than not being very good at rugby, no compelling reason.

I very much doubt he is on a great deal, given the timing and manners of his appointment. Interesting that previously we had all disliked him after his hangman antics. He has done well in difficult circumstances, but wouldn't be surprised to see him go. New regimes have the tendency to want their own man.

We are where we are with the crowds. We alienated a big slice of our support base earlier in the season and little will change for now. The owners are shrewd enough to realise that and should have it factored in. The significant moves will come in the close season and there will be some kind of relaunch the. Whether or not it works will be the nub of things and will dictate the direction of travel.

He was just a volunteer for us, wasn't he? He was at the 150th Dinner, which doesn't suggest a fall out.

Frank Barrow has died. Part of the coaching staff in the 1980s and , very briefly, head coach.

Need to finish the season well to sell the season tickets.

Yes. All this is true, but there are significant errors and a lack of co ordination at times. Ends of sets need to be better. I realise it sounds critical after 15 straight wins, but I want to see us reach the play offs in good order. I suppose the heat is also a mitigation.

It's also old news.

Yes. We aren't particularly fluent at the moment. We are winning because we have better players, but not necessarily playing that well. Hopefully saving something for a tough month ahead and the play offs.

Nisbett very poor under the high ball today, unusually. Cost a try near the end and was walked back 10 yards after dissent. Not his best day. In my opinion. The rest I would agree with.

Very scratchy stop start again... but we did score sixty points.

A lot to recommend here. Currently they are seemingly embroiled in clearing up the mess left by the last administration, but signings suggest that we will have a strong end to the season. Key to selling season tickets when more fleshed out plans are revealed. The desire to grow the rugby base through schools and the amateur game is building on work already started. It will need to be done much more thoroughly. Engagement with Latics and Sports town is also good. Interesting that Flan referred to Boundary Park as the Park. Wonder what is going on there. No big run for Super League. Another tick. Establish a viable top six Championship side. Interesting that he references a sub million pound business. Clearly understands the need to grow it in terms of revenue. Has quickly identified the gap in our base between the ages of 20-40. It was interesting that when we went to Bower Fold, the crowds plummeted in number, but surged in average age. The idea of many people putting in has to appeal. It's always perilous to have one money man. A huge plus is Flan's huge contact base, commercial acumen and knowledge of the game. Interesting and hopeful times.

Shame. Really good player, but no point in him being here if he can't play.

It was a very poorly refereed game, which made no difference to the outcome but marred the entertainment. The referee let all manner of things go at the play the ball and both sides were continually offside. The longer the game went on the more they all took liberties. Probably suited the players as they had to run around less in the heat if it was stop go.

A win's a win. Very scrappy. Halifax very determined, but on a boiling hot day both sides played to a very poor ref and made the game very disjointed. No news on the attendance. Around 1500 perhaps?
