  1. Ooooh. Change of date. Maybe Finny will be at Fax by 1st September
  2. I’d like to keep the bulk of the team to be honest. But we need to add a couple of Fergie type forwards and if Paul S does call it a day- a decent 6. After that maybe some pace. Gabs pretty fast but otherwise I think this is where we might struggle up in the Championship
  3. Just watched em. Doesn’t matter now but a prize to anyone who can work out why Callum’s first half try was chalked off Only players I could see obstructing were wearing white and blue
  4. https://dewsburyrams.co.uk/2023/08/07/presentation-night-details-2/ Should be a cracker this year
  5. Exactly what Mrs D said to me yesterday and she’s very astute in these matters
  6. I’d wait three weeks Coolie or you’ll be sadly disappointed
  7. Can’t see that anything I said was disrespectful to the current lads. Said we ain’t been the same since Ferguson was injured and we ain’t. He is our best forward so we’re gunna miss him. Would saying Man City weren’t quite as good without Haarland be disrespectful or just stating an obvious fact?
  8. Despite all the self pity and grumbling on here over the last two days (including from me ) it’s worth remembering that we have lost one game all season and have, at times, played superbly. Can’t agree with some of the comments about our defence. Think that’s been a strength over the season as shown by the league table. 178 points against is way better than anyone else. Think too that our forwards have generally dominated other packs, maybe just struggling to get the offloads in in recent games? we should beat Workington but nerves might make it tighter than we’d like. If we don’t we will def beat Donny away.
  9. Agree and it has been noticeable how much more we have struggled in this area since we lost Fergie. We haven't dominated many games at all since his injury. All well and good knowing what's wrong but will our budget stretch to two or three Fergies?? Nope...Im afraid. I was keener than anyone to drop down to League 1 and boy, Ive enjoyed winning, but the penalty of getting promotion is that we will be back to square one..LOL...
  10. They were better at half back for sure but we created enough chances to win the game and as others have pointed out actually got over the line several times without luck.
  11. Bit harsh, but I get your drift. They did look weak down that side and we didn’t exploit it enough. Owen had a great game but could have passed the ball a few times down that side.
  12. One of best refs we've had this season. Well played to him.
  13. Was gunna post this myself. Yet we took them against North Wales
  14. Got a feeling we might have to wait to clinch the title. Hunslets bemusing policy of loanees (given they’ve already lost three games) and our recent form are making me very nervous.
  15. Ryder and Gabs weren’t exactly known for repelling all boarders either.
  16. Tom Coates just posted a cracking picture on the Barmy Army Facebook page showing that whilst the decision was nowhere near as bad as it first looked it was still the wrong call. thanks Tom.
  17. Does that do any good though? Upsets the regulars and unless they're at all the training sessions it doesn't even help the patterns of play. Does show that they believe they are still in the game mind. That league position of theirs is probably misleading given that they've had to play the top three teams away ......certainly ran us close.
  18. That’s a seriously useful site Rambo. my only reservation is that it suggests that there were double the number of spectators at the Hunslet game when compared to that against Widnes: which I seriously doubt.
  19. But does he jump from in touch. Your slow mo obviously better than mine
  20. I’ll fess up that it’s very hard to tell on the highlights whether or not that 40/20 was legit, but boy, oh boy some of the other decisions by the ref were extraordinary. The knock on by Owen from that high kick that went back, the penalty against Bailey and the barge by Ridyard on Owen that resulted in a penalty for them being the highlights. a strange Dale Morton type lapse by Perry for their first try but how good was the grubber by Callum for Brads try? can’t see whether the Oldham player was held up or got the ball down in that attack straight after the break.
  21. That Touchy may as well have just worn his Oldham shirt. I Will have to watch the highlights but at first watch the decision on that 40/20 appeared to be one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen given on a rugby pitch.
  22. He did. My apologies but we def had more than a few chances.
  23. My thoughts exactly. Will make for an interesting watch on the highlights package. ? A rare favour from the ref? Deserved the win on defence alone for me. Outstanding. Apart from their uncanny ability to drop the ball when they looked more likely to score I thought they looked (once again) better than Donny so not sure what happened at their gaff last week. Doesn’t matter now but couldn’t understand why we didn’t go for the drop goal in that last 15 minutes. Had several opportunities.
  24. No idea but it’s a ######. Sunday is rugby day.
