Crown Flatter 645 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 I feel certain that this Sunday’s 6.15 pm fixture will go ahead, although a lot of work by the ground staff will have to have been undertaken after seeing the pitch last Sunday. Judging by Widnes’ walloping of Oldham last week, I expect our visitors to be in the mood to run riot again, but I hope we can halt that. My prediction is: Dewsbury 18-24 Widnes FTS: Finn MoM: Magrin Att: 1202 Quote Legs, Dews, Legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blind side johnny 6,352 Report post Posted February 28, 2020 This should be a forward dominated match with the kicking skills of both team being very important. The Chemics are looking pretty strong at the moment and it would take an outstanding performance on our part to beat them.

I think a win is a big ask given the disruptions we've endured through the two postponements. Hopefully the pitch will be a bit narrower than Widnes are used to and a bit boggier than they'd like...

Interesting point Nick. I don't know if everyone is aware that out pitch is actually smaller than it was last year. This is due to new RFL regulations regarding the distances between the touchlines and fencing. Not only is it marginally narrower but also shorter in the in-goal areas. 1 Quote Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

wasginger 157 Report post Posted March 1, 2020 Well played Dewsbury. Played as a team, and everybody knew exactly what was required of them tonight. A warning to other clubs, don't think Dewsbury will rollover against you. 3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creditwhereitsdews 111 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 Can't believe there aren't more posts about today's game, but I'm putting it down to shell shock. That's two really hard-fought wins in a row now. Normally one win like that a season would be something special. A real hearty congratulations to all the players, coaching and backroom staff for giving us supporters a big lift. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
