On Radio Cumbria he seemed pleased with the performance, especially in the second half where they played at a standard that he expects. Spoke very highly of Jamie Doran's performance. He's very much aware of the defensive weaknesses and was disappointed with 2 of their tries. Chris is a fantastic coach and we should try everything to keep him.

Also for the first game this season it felt a bit more comfortable on the flanks. The referee was fair on both sides and took no prisoners however I think we need to turn up the tempo next week? Any idea where Hopkins was? He hasn't really pushed on as I thought he would. Totally agree regarding the edges. It's as strong as we have looked in the centre/wing positions all season. I think having stevie defending a bit wider makes a difference to. Nice ro see Bolton get over for his 1st try to. If we perform to that standard next week. I'd expect another victory. It was a bit odd being so close to the action but I really did prefer it to DP. Hopefully we can push the 1000 mark next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocH Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Good to see the team spirit and confidence returning, all contributing, great return for Mellor good to see new signings getting on score sheet, JD excellent, and as has been said Scholey really looks the part as a 2nd rower, and what a brilliant conversion to finish off the match.

The Voodooguru Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Excellent win and we played really well in patches, there were a couple of soft tries conceded but it shouldn't detract from the performance. Thought Stevie and Ryan were our stand outs today, and it looks like we will be a force again in the second half of the season injuries allowing and shouldn't fear anyone. The reds experience was different and not at all bad, although they must think we are all hooligans when you can't walk around the ground with your pint, which is just ridiculous! That apart a good day all around. 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...
rockerlad Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 the drink issue is down to the police they objected to us being allowed to drink on the terrace, and put this restriction in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a lot of trouble or rowdiness on the terrace at the football then for this to be in place? Surely if you need to drink you will go to the bar and down your pint which will cause more issues than drinking at a leisurely pace where you want to stand, sometimes I'm sure the police make it up as they go along. I heard stewards talking at magic weekend about how good it was to allow drinking in the stands at Anfield and it was a stupid rule that has no effect banning it during football games as folk just turn up half cut then down a couple at half time.

homeandawayer Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Ryan's two tries were top drawer but I'm more impressed with Perry every time I see him. Give him any kind of space and he breaks or scores. Excellent kicking game today , next week should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so strong and full of options including a tactical kicking game. For me the jury is still out on whether Wellington is an improvement on Rooke and I thought Blain Marwood might have made the bench.

Would be even better if he looked out side him, winger free several times but chose wrong option.

Other than cain and ell that was about as strong as a 17 as we could field. Bolton is looking a good find, and yes he is an improvement on rookie, same with marwood, should he make the bench over Declan? Not a chance on another note, fieldhouse was unplayable today, how narrow let him go is beyond me the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Blain Marwood you seem confident in judging him negatively based on the few (try scoring) minutes he has been afforded .Ryan Fieldhouse is undoubtedly a class act and I too wonder why "narrow" let him go...........

DocH Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I also thought maybe Marwood from the bench for the last 10 mins when Doran seemed to me to be tiring but then Penky is always an option as we've seen before and I don't think anyone could have confidently predicted that scoreline so Marwood might have been a bit of a luxury I think though in the end our forward domination was relentless.

That's true, albeit I get the impression we might have O'Donnell for the season at least given who hes found himself behind at Leigh but Marwood could be the future replacement for Penky or Buffer. oh for the days of an A team.........

So we simply have to play our best 17 everyweek, and Declan is a top quality hooker, one you would hope we could persuade to replace penky next season.
