I agree with the halfback,give Oscar Thomas a go can’t be any worse from what we are seeing. It's also winning pay that won't be covered by the gate,I'd be more tempted to give a bonus for beating Rochdale ,and do the same for Rochdale away,Barrow home...we need to get hungry again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forget the dizzy heights of Wembley .The team needs to get back to the mentality they had at fev and widnes. Win this and we get a lift for Barrow and Rochdale. Completely agree ... losing is a habit .. we have forgotten how to win ! So I don't care if its a pointless trophy we just need to win .. to build a bit of confidence and momentum for the Rochdale game! .... winning is a habit too!

Don't understand though why Swinton would loan him to Rochdale or us, for that matter, when we are all fighting for survival! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andyram 245 Report post Posted June 7 This tournament had got a Leigh-Widnes final written all over it. Would be great if one of the so called smaller clubs could spoil the final. If we can't do it, which is highly likely, would love the final between Bulldogs - Eagles to spoil the wishes of the RFL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed. Dewsbury are fortunate in having many of their current supporters who watched them the last time they played there still on the terraces. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
