roughyed8 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Still not safe after today's results, Workington are gone after a hammering at Sheffield, but who would have predicted Haven would go to Dewsbury and put 50 on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaw llewellyn Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 We certainly need to cut out the mistakes and stop giving away soft penalties. Also wondered why having signed Scott "the salmon" Turner we have stopped kicking high to the corners and instead keep trying grubber kicks which today were poorly executed. The next problem is who will be fit to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Points difference has taken a hammering as well.By my reckoning. Swinton -407, us -371 and Whitehaven -385. We've got whitehaven at home and dewsbury away. No ifs or buts can't lose next week. Whitehaven have us and swinton.edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tandle Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 no ifs no buts do not insult us with excuses we have had 170 points scored against us in the last 3 games the game next week is the biggest since we where reformed. Whitehaven come here after scoring 56 points today they are firing on all cylinders if we lose I believe we are going to need a big favour off swinton in their last match at Whitehaven to save us. believe me we are in big trouble and we are still resigning players who have got us in this mess.

Dave Naylor Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 These middle three games in the Shield were always going to be tough. I'm fed up because we let another potential win slip through our fingers today and the players must be kicking themselves. The more significant result today was that Whitehaven win, something that you'd say was unexpected. Nevertheless it's left us with our destiny still in our own hands and would anyone wish to swap with Haven or Swinton and take their last two fixtures and points rather than keep our own? Next week we get to play the bottom team in the league on our home ground and a win will keep us up. I'd have hoped for much better a few weeks ago but we can only work with what we've got and we'll have to settle for what we have. Sure, Whitehaven think they have a lifeline now, but so did Worky a few weeks back and they're now toast. Let's make it Jam on toast next week.

roughyed34 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Dave that's sensible, tough to take the loss today after being 18-8 up. Massive, unexpected result for Haven and hats off to them. Its in our hands now, one game at home to stay up. Those that care get to Bower Fold and support the lads in a massive game. Those that don't go but find it easy to critise, enjoy your gardening etc. Weird but I'm lookimg forward to next weekend, a game that shapes our destiny, one chance to prove we can win when it matters. Together we can do this, unfortunately this messageboard sometimes proves the people who want us to fail. If we beat Haven next week it won't be good enough because of blah blah......., remember we are all supposed to be Roughyeds and care about this club. Stop the bitching and get behind them next week in a huge game for the future of the club. Up the Yeds! OTID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
town4me Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 You don't play worky next weekthe league finished weeks ago and haven did finish bottom of the league. So technically oldham do play the club that finished bottom of the league next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOLTON ROUGHYED Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It's still in our hands and that's the important thing. Personally I have no idea what kind of team Dewsbury put out today but we can only hope,if it comes to it, that they capitulate at home to us too,. The bottom line is we have Haven at home next week, we have a decent record at home, especially against the other teams who have been battling it out in the bottom 4 all season. We win, we stay up....Simple. If someone had said to us at the start of the season that we would have had Whitehaven at home to stay up we'd have taken it. Can't wait.

moorside roughyed Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Come what may,we need to back the boys 100% next week. We need to make Whitehaven know they are in a battle to the end.We need to bring them down to earth with a bump,particularly after their recent win.

ultimate roughyed Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 How on earth did they beat Dewsbury by that margin today? Swinton must be extremely worried as a defeat to Halifax next week and if we lost to Haven but beat Dewsbury and they would go down on inferior goal difference if they lost away to Haven on the last day of the season. Very intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully its not the same this year and you send them packing next week. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Naylor Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 OK try this one. With Worky gone and Bradford, Halifax and Dewsbury safe, there are only four games that matter now: Oldham v Whitehaven Swinton v Halifax Dewsbury v Oldham Whitehaven v Swinton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
