80 mins without a pen


The King Of Leon

Recommended Posts

Well that's a 1st in over 50 years of watching RL, we didn't get 1 penalty ! Either Worky never strayed offside once or the ref needs glasses. However well done Hunslet we restored some pride today, great to see Two Bobs and George Flanagan clearly enjoying their roles today and everyone with a smile on their faces.Jimmy Watsons tackle into the corner flag and Muffy,s defence in the 1st half were crucial in stoping tries and George Flanagan is such an inspiration when he comes on.Thought everyone in the pack ran hard today but we are weak on one of the wings , come back Ritchie Barnett....

Aye Workington officially the most angelic team ever to set foot on a rugby pitch! :unsure: Much better yesterday, the lads obviously wanted to play for the new coach (unlike last week) and some good individual performances dotted around ... Watson, Mvududu, Flanagan, Coventry. Be interesting to see how we go at Barrow in a couple of weeks when Roberts has had some proper time to work with the team ... and we still need to get Gibson and Normington back in the team to strengthen things further.

Still have the tendency to let teams back into it when we've got them on the rack though, and this is not something that's started this season, it goes right back even to our last Championship season; we always look vulnerable for 10-15 minutes at around the hour mark. It's something Roberts needs to look at as a priority, it's already cost us this season and will undoubtedly do so again if we don't solve it. But happy enough with yesterday and two much needed points :smile:

Great post King apart from the last bit come back Richie Barnett ... when if you remember we were in the championship Richie dropped ball after ball on his wing, now I don't blame him so much as Eaton playing him week in week out with no confidence now what he should have done is play him in the second row , as he likes to drive the ball in  effectively from our own 25,  time after time, he would have made a good second row forward would Barnett , but playing as a winger no way. Although he didn't drop the ball in division one as much, as not as much pressure put on the wingers, in division one. What we need to do us get Duffy playing on the wing. our main problem now as I see it is at scrum half, we need to play Danny Thomas with Sanderson at halfback, too long now Ansell is not making anything happen from scrum half, we have no go forward here in such an important position. his kicking is not that good either. He needs to be dropped for a while, think this would do him the world of good, as complacency sets in being in the team week in week out. We miss gibson in the centre too for his speed, don't know what's happened here. It  is a shame we have to face a good barrow team next up, then Toronto soon after. Two very hard games to come away.
