Just watched the Saints game and what a game that was. just reminded my why I loved that team under MB so much. Forwards who could pass a ball and who looked to offload at very opportunity, make no wonder I keep going on about it, that's what I was brought up on. Forwards who could play 80 minutes too, and the game was faster than most people remember. There was barely a break in the whole game. Thought the ref was outstanding, could see a forward pass, but let the game go if he could. Best 80 minutes of Youtube there is I reckon. Hard to pick anyone one out to be honest, everyone of them gave 100% but thought Coughlan was immense and that try by Nathan was class. Anyone know how old Carroll was at the time? he just went and went and not sure he was tackled once without releasing the ball. Happy days...

8000. They wish.

Strange...I thought we'd moved to summer rugby...The pitch could easily handle it these days and if were losing £150,000 a year reckon we have to think of something different..
-
excellent idea. I have long thought this is something we should be doing....

can you have a "friendly" against Fev?

Absolutely ridiculous. People knew the ground was there when they moved in. The world’s gone mad I’m afraid.
-
ridiculous. we were there before the houses were built!!!
-
Def could do with another club using the ground. Something like Leeds Utd ladies team would have been good. Think they’re at Garforth which can’t be much better than our gaff. We have best training pitch around too. Pity we can’t get more professional t et amd to make use of it.

Ollie is gunna have a big future if he stays fit. He's not quite up there with Bailey O'Connor but a quick watch of the highlights against Sheffield will show you the sort of potential he as....

Isn't he Keiths Dad?

Fingers crossed he comes across. He was outstanding on Sunday.

Dewsbury Rams v Sheffield Eagles 29th September, KO: 15:00
NickD replied to horbury ram's topic in Dewsbury Rams
just watched the Rams highlights and both our sin bins look harsh. That said I thought we had the rub of the green a few times in the first half and no harm done in the end. Have to say the highlights were excellent ...better angle than when I last watched (was ages ago - for obvious reasons) and the extended length with more build up was much appreciated... -

Top drawer today and very glad I decided to go at the last minute. The effort was so much better than of late and this manifested itself most noticeably in the on line defence. So many times it looked like Sheffield would get over the line but in contrast to many other games this season we held out. I suspect it helped that Sheffield thought they only had to turn up to win, boy oh boy, they got a shock. Think we have finally found our best half back pairing. We were so much more lively going forward with Callum and Reiss at 6 & 7 and although all the lads were great today, those two were outstanding. What a shame its taken so long to work it out A pity most are leaving are leaving but it was pleasing to see some of those that I hope are staying have such good games. Thought Luke Mearns, Jamie Field and Jack Briggs were excellent as was Keenan Tomlinson. Thanks lads for signing off with a win, the winter hibernation will be much easier now... -
Bailey O'Connor is defo gunna prosper wherever he goes. Shame we didn't pop him on a longer contract before anyone else spotted him. Whoever "found" him needs a pat on the back. With a good pack and decent half backs he'll be a cracker.

the biggest problem with League 1 is the lack of games.
-
Spot on and I couldn’t agree more but will those coming in be as good as those leaving with the budget we have to play with?
-
Jesus. Worse than even I thought and I’m a right pessimistic ######

Both the win at Fax and the subsequent game against Leigh were highlights up with the best for me. We actually took a "crowd" to Leigh. People were even singing

Never let us down eh BSJ

Dewsbury Rams v Swinton Lions 15th September, KO: 15:00
NickD replied to horbury ram's topic in Dewsbury Rams
Well said Graham. I imagine getting sponsors for Dewsbury is as challenging as trying to get a decent run through Ravensthorpe in the car, so belittling them for choice of MoM is a poor shout. We’ve had one episode of that before. As far as I’m concerned they could have picked Thaler,. They put there money in and I am VERY grateful. -
Swinton to get/ have got second £100k “loan” if this article is to be believed. https://www.totalrl.com/salford-council-criticised-for-giving-hidden-loan-to-struggling-rugby-league-club-swinton-lions/
