ghost of uncle fester

Wouldn't get too excited as hearing on grapevine it's only for this week initially,but even in that case it's a massive and much needed addition to this Sunday's pack . Going for a tight narrow win ,they've had some decent results but biggest margin has only been 4pts so don't exactly blow teams away and from what I've seen their fans were raging with how bad they were against York

Some won't agree ,but personally I didn't think York were that good . Think if you took Harris and mcshane out of the equation their pretty average. Today I felt we just gifted them field position with knock ons, shipped tries with poor passes, dropping off tackles and at times being allover the shop defensively. Agree with others regarding teare ,if he actually looks up and has a bit of awareness ritson probably had walk ins if he passed the ball No dramas though,we werent a great team after the Bradford and Oldham wins,and we're not a poor team after today .

Can't go expecting challenging questions,it's ego strokes or no access sorry .

Surprised like last season how badly they've started ,squad rammed with quality and got a top coach at the helm . That being said they won comfortably away at Batley last time out which takes some doing as we all know . Very similar playing style to us ,like to shift the ball quickly, makings of a quality game ,can't wait.

Went wide apparently

Enjoyed the game Sunday , atmosphere was immense particularly second half when they had us under the pump,suffered bit of beer head Monday morning. Let's not get daft though,they were miles off the "Oldham" were supposed to fear . Both halves missing,both 1st choice front rowers missing .among others. Ultimately they tried to take the pee, long saying they had players that were "sore" .what a lame excuse that is .we've got half a team sore but slog on Not an attempt to belittle the result ,but if you can't roll a team that starts with a chapelhow and Baxter in the front row then you've got no hope . There team was weaker than they'd put out at times in league one last season. Only consolation is the purists and tipsters would have had that as a Oldham win prior to teams out

Has an ongoing groin issue apparently so kicking duties not seen as a worthy long term risk

Agree ,but screenshotting a particular incident to make it look like we've been hard done by is a bit much , especially when it's blatantly not the case ,serves no purpose whatsoever other than to rile fans. Is what it is I suppose.

There's a few that have but yes should have worded it better ,of course it's a very small minority. Just find it tiresome to be honest laying blame at the officials every single time we lose

Have to say getting really bored of our fanbase blaming the officials every single time we lose . I get being loyal but some are using their loyalty to try and paper over facts . For those that don't have certain social media,some have taken it upon themselves to post freeze frames "proving" a try shouldn't have been given, problem being they screenshot it a split second after what proves a clear try . Do not get this mentality whatsoever,we didn't lose because of that decision or any other,we lost on the back of little errors like jouffret getting a walk in after two or three switched off among other things . Move on,accept it, stop talking nonsense,look forward to Goole

Bang on the money, get brad to 13 and go with johnno and bish. Hopefully all fit and have decent interchange at hooker aswel . Feeling optimistic,no predictions don't want to curse ,

Agree,I thought they were shocking,him and booth looked alright at times Seemed small and a bit powderpuff,long season for them

If your a barrow player you don't want to be a halfback , odd obsession with attacking our halves . Brad's filled a hole and by his own admittance he's a LF and prefers playing there ,I could understand it if he was consistently bad but it's far from that . Sure he got grief after the York game last season when he actually won the game with a DG ,really odd behaviour. Think in the long term the idea is to move brad to LF and partner johnno with bishop ,but sadly circumstances are preventing that

Think there dual with saints ,looked very good in 2nd half against Sheffield, big set of forwards Kyle eastmond has tweaked things by look of it Moved jouffret to FB ,and new half back combo in jack Hansen and woodburn hall Winnable though if we turn up .

Maybe ,not too easy to tell first game but I just thought they were dreadful bar that noah booth
