Big Doug Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 On 12/20/2018 at 3:35 PM, Tyrone Shoelaces said: I don't think it's just me that are complaining about Mayfield. I follow their game in the Observer and they seem to play plenty of games a man down, sometimes It's two men. However it's not just Mayfield, other amateur clubs in the Challenge Club have come to Hornets thinking that it's ok to knock our heads off. i remember one Yorkshire amateur team coming to Hornets who had a big fat lad who came on as a forward sub. He was 3rd or 4 th man in every tackle and every time it was a sly punch. Eventually the big fat lad decided to take the ball up. Damian Ball caught him in the ribs with a perfect tackle. It took the big lad a while to get up after that. I don't recall him doing much afterwards. Your ignorance astounds me. When the game takes place in January I think that you will find that Mayfield are significantly smaller physically than Hornets. Unlike you I actually watch both clubs and can make an informed comment. If the Rochdale Observer is your source of information then you are clearly misinformed. You obviously totally hate Mayfield who in my opinion are far better run than Hornets. Own their ground and have money in the bank. Which is more than can be said of Hornets.

The " Observer " reports might not be to your liking Doug but the reporters can usually count up to 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good to have a kind of preseason Cup with the sides Clifford mentioned, wonder if a 9s comp would work, all played out in a day/weekend like the Wigan 7s used to be back in the day? I did think about that, but you would want to give a man garty full maximum exposure, for his family and the charity that was set up in his memory, I was lucky enough to play with garty as a youngster at rangers and open age, he was a friend and I truly wish he was still here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glemiln Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Reported that our defence was soundly tested today by a very determined Mayfield attack to secure our 18-12 win. Look forward to reading of our performance generally, stand-out individuals and pointers to take on Oldham next week and beyond. Hope that everyone (inc. the Coach!) enjoyed the occasion and that there was a good turn-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Mayfield will be more pleased with that performance than Hornets. It was a pretty disjointed and scrappy performance with nobody really catching the eye. We started by knocking on from the kick off and that set the tone for most of the game. Hornets only showed their class in short bursts and didn't really respect what bits of possession they had. The conditions were ok at the start of the game but as the second half wore on the rain came down and the ball became greasy. We'll have to be 100% better next week or we'll really struggle.

DiddyDave Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Come on fellas,this game was no more than a getting to know you match. The score was completely irrelevant,a first up game of the season,summat to work on as the coach will no doubt say. Let`s not get too serious yet.

excolt Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I thought the backs went well playing behind a beaten pack which is worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we didn't have anything like enough go forward. That's not to take anything away from Mayfield. They could easily have got a draw at the end of the game. They played really well with tons of enthusiasm. Their kicking game was better than ours and they were still going strong at 80 minutes. If they can play like that in their league they'll go well.

Heywood Tiger Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 In my opinion the 2 best players on the pitch were playing for Mayfield, 11 and 8 (Callum Marriot and Jimmy Connaughton?) Marriot looks real quality I’d be surprised if he hadn’t been asked upto a pro club already. The young prop needs to be if he hasn’t already http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/rochdalecobrasarlfc/ http://www.hornetsrugbyleague.co.uk/Home/Page http://www.wiganwarriors.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutralfan Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I paid my tenner in and a pound for the "this is Rochdale" and enjoyed the game.I agree that callum and james were the best 2 forwards on the pitch and zak hartley was the best back on the pitch. If I was Carl Forster I would be ringing these guys today and asking them about their availability for the 2019 season ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without taking anything from a reported very competitive Mayfield, this was the first game of a much changed Hornets with many players new to the team. The next two games will be better pointers, especially Sunday (!), and then hopefully we shall be firing on most cylinders for the crucial first home game.

I cant see many more lean years being sustainable. Being the "right man" via an interview process is only part of the picture - the vision then needs delivering. I'm not sure I could see Frank Myler, Steve Gibson, Bobbie Goulding, Charlie Birdsall, Martin Hall or many others being part of a "long selection" process. I noted one stand out forward on Saturday and I know where my priorities as a coach would have been this week. As you say faith in the process - agreed.

Starting out every season with nearly all of the first choice 13 new to the club and each other is not the greatest way to have a successful team. We are where we are though. I would imagine Foster will make a difference in the forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
