Ginock1 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Very good performance in poor conditions, most pleasing aspect has got to be the goaline defence, much improved at the play the ball and for me the highlight was when under intense pressure Forster was driven back by 3 town men 10metres before he eventually knocked on and must say I did enjoy the Shackley knock on and subsequent ribbing by Big Brett. The team looks committed but also entertaining on the eye. Long season but things look positive , Saturday will be a good indicator against a developing Newcastle but the pitch should allow some good rugby. Mom for me was tough to choose but Howarth is pure quality...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the conditions weren't the best I could see 1st half the attacking structures & running lines which have obviously been worked on in training & will see us getting plenty of scoring opportunities this season. The brandishing a yellow card then just playing on after Forster complained was baffling. Havens best player was the pitch. Saved a few tries I reckon. Well down Town. Can see on the DVD that newton late hit Callum but then just moved back sheepishly and let Forster take the rap then argue his case . The ref seemed to listen to this then look over at the touchie and say ' he says it wasn't him ' , so none of them having a clue who did it , they couldn't do owt ! Suffice to say newton didnt put his hand up or say anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they clobber Newton, especially with that craven 'it wasn't me' crud.

DavidM Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I agree totally , quite a few in these two games . And from blokes a lot bigger - pretty cheap shots but they fear him is what it comes down to . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Callum takes more head shots than any player i ve known in a Town shirt , with Stack a close second , seems our talented players have always been targeted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Having a close look at the game again I was very impressed with McAuley Davies in attack and especially defence .Put some big shots on . And looked a very good combo with Chamberlain who ran strongly and looks a strike centre given good grounds . Ritson is a cert at the back and I can see him getting a shed load of tries , and I think JP is a cert to when fit . It's huge nowadays to have wingers who can drive it out of their own end and he's great at that . Phil Joseph looked a lot more comfy in the middle , you really want him involved as much as possible . Star says big Alex may figure so that's all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of newton, it must be hard for him to take that his clubs biggest rivals have 4 hookers who are head and shoulders better than him. Callum,howarth,dowsett and jamie are all comfortably better players than him. Question is, how on earth was he ever on hulls books? the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newton put the cheapest of shots on Callum then ran off and hid behind his team mates like the s*it house that he is. If he doesn't get a significant ban then the RFL is as pathetic as I've always thought. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One dimensional. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
