Dolmio Babcock Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 No Ainscough (most Likely banned) and I doubt Alex Brown wont be allowed to play against his parent club, could be a tough afternoon for over us at the Shay, just hope the players gained plenty of belief from yesterdays victory, to have a right good dig regardless.

London Dick Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 How near are craven & faal from injury? Craven to full back, Campbell on wing & faal in centre would be ideal otherwise it's a second rower reluctantly playing there. They are the form side & they must be brimming with confidence but we always seem to do ok there. Let's hope this continues.

buford t justice Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Can only see another defeat, we dont have enough firepower against the better sides. Id probably handicap it as -20.

phildog Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Halifax is always a good game, we've gone there before when they've been tiptop and run 'em close or taken the points. Confidence will be up so expect effort. We will need more success however with goal kicking, 3 out of 7 isn't good and rain can't be blamed as 5 of those kicks were first half b4 storm. Tyrer won't miss that many....then a win over Hawks and things won't look as bad! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his kicking out of hand was by and lareg good too, alongside a decent all round game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Lee Smith hasn't found a club yet. He can cover all backline positions and is a player with plenty of pedigree. Have we spoken to him? If not, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybulldog Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 craven due back this week so will be campbell on wing for brownwould definatly leave Campbell at fullback, ran the line great yesterday and lead the team realy well from the back with his constant shouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His kick for Reittie's try was perfect. At least give the lad his due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I agree with Billy, Johnny played superb at fullback, his leadership and tackling were impressive as he was always dangerous with the ball. He needs to play there so he is more involved. Leatherbarrow's place kicking was excellent and he made some good breaks. The whole side looked very balanced.

doggystyle Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Very harsh comments regarding Leatherbarrow, I feel he grows in confidence every game. JC is pure class and a natural leader. Captain written all over him. Has ear done a U-turn and now made him captain instead of a very absent Blake? I suggest he should do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Have championed Leathearbarrow often when others have pulled him apart, (actually expected Cain to be our kicker) got plenty promise still young and if he sticks with us can do us good but with the number of tries we score we need more than 42% ratio. We've lost games by opponents kickers slotting theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy's mate Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Can't Paddy kick? And if you have a left and right footed kicker why not share the kicking depending where the try is scored?
