Impressed by Potts, Ryder, Sykes (as always), Walshaw, Knowles and Brown today. Be good to know the reasons some players don’t seem to be playing, be that injury, coach decision, or they have left the club. Maine great desire to win, first 20 mins after half time was very good. Both starting front rowers dropped too much ball, and we also dropped too much ball, made silly mistakes when we had the ball in their 20. Can’t remember us getting to a 6th tackle kick! I don't know which players you mean specifically HR, but most of the absentees are injured or have left the club. We are really down to the bare bones.

silcoates Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well we won just,lots of errors on both sides-is that due to the heat? How come Arundel comes straight into the team. Was iggi.banned injured or what? Batley lady in front of me not happy when touch judge replaced the ref. It started when winger put his foot in touch in first half and she definitely did not agree .

Reverend Ram Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Not that I should gloat but there is something particularly satisfying in beating the Gallant Yoths when the reality is they should have wrapped it up - they dropped the ball at least twice with the line at their mercy and although their first try had 3 forward passes and Leak was practising them all afternoon the one Sykes threw for Walshsaw’s Try was deliciously ironic. The Lord moves in mysterious ways and so do replacement referees! Can’t fault the spirit again though the defence is still a bit brittle but full marks for standing firm in the last few minutes. At least we now can calm down a bit and look forward to the bottom 8’s with a bit of optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity we didn’t have that ref all the game then he’d have probably ruled Batley’s 2nd try out,Leak had really to pin his ears back to catch up with the ball as it went that far forward. 17 hours ago, Blind side johnny said: Officially non-SL clubs cannot approach players who are contracted elsewhere before Sept 1st.

Not one for promoting conspiracy theories, but it makes you wonder if the administrators of the clubs know something we don't about the structure and payments for next season - would explain why the speculation normally flying about around this time of the year is pretty sparse.

I think that it might be quite the opposite GOR - they have no idea what the plans are that will emerge wil the grey smoke from Red Hall, so cannot really do much forward planning. Certainly if the eights are to be scrapped (and Hetherington might now be a convert to the idea) then the payments for the top four must change, and the incentives for the "big" clubs might appear to diminish. Squadbuilding for many of them can only proceed when they know what their targets will be.

Of course, IF Leeds were involved in the eights, ( which they could be) , and ended up being relegated (which they unfortunately won't), Hetherington would change his mind again - and that would be good enough for the RL.
