Moscow01 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 All Golds are doing it the right way unlike Oxford who are basically Castleford reserves. They train up in Castleford as well. Can't believe the RFL let Oxford and Hemel do what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonky Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think its hard to argue that jamie has become our biggest asset this year, really controls games and looks like a standout in this league the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaton Sandy Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Border Craic n deekaboot up to their usual abysmal coverage of Cumbrian rugby league tonight. Just the bare results while they managed to squeeze in some footage of some Mickey Mouse punt and grunt event north of the border. Pathetic!

townie88 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Going a bit off subject. Is there any update on the lad brad Fearon? Is he still part of the plans or has he been let go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Well done to the Team for Sundays performance . We look a lot better with ball in hand probably due to having a Coach who encourages the ball players to chance their arm a bit and not just play 5 drives and kick .Isn t it strange though how the ref penalised South Wales persistently early on and we got most of the 50/50 calls .......roll on to the Toronto game and i bet normal service will be resumed and we get nowt .Do things even themselves out over a season or do the refs generally look more favourably on the "better" team ? Anyway on to Hunslet and see if we can come back with a win , they will be fired up after their shock loss this week .Thought South Wales were one of the smallest teams i have seen down at the Park for some time , but all credit to them they stuck in , and i suspect if they hadn t had such a good kicking game the result would have been horrific ......On the subject of the league it definitely needs fine tuned , maybe scrap the cup comp , play everybody twice and 2 straight up no play offs .

The Voodooguru Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 They could have waited until we'd played them! 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...

Anonymouse Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 hambley could go centre and give mewes a wing berth , joe has played centre recently and scored so I dont think it would take away any try scoring opportunity from him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwent Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I see several Barrow players have had their visas refused at the last minute by the Canadian authorities and they've had to travel to Toronto with just 14 players. I'd have forfeited the game in protest. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats happened to player welfare being the most important part of the game - hope we are looking into all this early on , we could possibly have to go there at the last minute when the placings for the 8's are all finalised. Normal time for a visa application is 7 days , and if you have ever had a speeding ticket your goosed and think about the Barrow supporters who have travelled !!!!

Anonymouse Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 this could become a major issue for all clubs and next season too if minor offences such as traffic violations and and the odd conviction for being in a figght or being drunk , littering , urinating in st etc . things that many young and daft working and middle class lads do in their early rebel yrs .

ivans82 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Clubs in our league should get together and say we all go as a team or we all stay put as a team , this thing with Barrow is a farce .So on this basis all players and coaching staff signed by Toronto have clean records ,no traffic offenses , no minor blots on their copybook .....i don t think so .

Maybe the players shouldn't have committed the crime. That's hardly Toronto's fault, and why has it been left so late to sort visas, surely that should have been done ages ago.

But they knew they were going months ago, if they should or shouldn't is a completely different argument. This is not Toronto's fault at all.
