Dave Naylor 2,078 Report post Posted August 8 So. A big day on Sunday, the first of two important games in August. If we want to gain promotion, we should expect to win. In view of a flurry of loan signings, who knows what team Scott will pick. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheddingswasus 197 Report post Posted August 9 If he is fit I would like to see Bowman in there somewhere. We need to play Halkyard, so would play him at stand off and bring Luke in at fullback. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jroyales 294 Report post Posted August 10 Get Bowman at looseforward so as to take some of the pressure of the halves. At the moment we are too predictable in attack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Art of Hand and Foot 669 Report post Posted August 11 It's a general feeling I have, not necessarily a rule because I haven't done the stats, but whatever the latics do the day before, the rugby do the opposite the day after. So when the latics win , the rugby lose etc. So hopefully , if my feeling is right then we should win today. Of course could be a load of b0ll0x. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m brooksy 424 Report post Posted August 11 Get in. Absolutely superb second half performance from the whole team. Newcastle dominated the first half and scored some cracking tries and fully deserved their lead. But we kept our heads up and sneaked a try just before half time to keep in it and then were dominant in the second half. Bridge was superb again as was Langtree in the second half with Hawkyard and McComb also providing their usual excellent performances. Wilkinson was class again. Special mention to some of the less recognised players. Whittel had his best game all season and Johnson had some vital contributions from the wing first setting up Leeming's try and then his cracking try saver on Talaupapa. Law was much improved as well and Smith looks like he could be a quality signing if we can keep him fit. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clifford 915 Report post Posted August 11 I feared the worst as I arrived today, the first half the crowd was flat the team was flat and Newcastle deserved to be in the lead What a turn round, and that was started by bridge, Newcastle was frightened each time he got the ball Excellent and with the last home game of the league season next week we should go into the playoffs in September with some more home games 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allroughyed 94 Report post Posted August 11 An all round great performance from the boys. Some superb direction from Hewitt and Crooks, the former not getting the recognition he rightly deserves. I wasn't over impressed by NT in the 1st half, tho QLT did his job when the gaps opened . I felt that at half time, only 8 pts down, and playing downhill, we could win it. Great performance from Bridge, Langers , Law, Joy and the half backs ensured we had NT on the back foot and struggling to get an impact on the game. Sad to see that Scott still wants to go after this, bit he's done a great job considering the restraints he's had at his disposal. I'm confident we'll win next Sunday, Rangi or no Rangi.

Steve the Roughyed 17 Report post Posted August 11 Brilliant result. Wasn't at the game as I was out cycling in France at the time! Stopped to check HT score on my phone and feared the worst. Checked again around 70 mins or so and again at FT. Well chuffed with that. More of the same please next week guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Art of Hand and Foot 669 Report post Posted August 11 I've previously said that there are plenty of twists and turns left this season. We've now got to focus on Doncaster and maybe, just maybe , Keighley will feel they have something to prove against the current leaders. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
