Crown Flatter Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This game could be tough, travelling all the way to Cumbria, coping with the Covid-19 protocols and then having to play a match. With all that in mind, I feel confident that we can still win, perhaps with this team: 1 Martin 2 Gabriel 3 Ryder 4 Fleming 5 Oakes 6 Sykes 7 Finn 8 Hall 9 Butterworth 10 Garratt 11 Tomlinson 12 Knowles 13 Morris 14 Day 15 Scott 16 Magrin 17 Schofield Prediction: Whitehaven 20-30 Dewsbury FTS: Ryder MoM: Sykes Also in the squad: Liu, Claveting, Thornton and Abram On seeing the two friendlies I don’t think it will be long before we see either/both Carr and/or Dixon being selected. Liu could even be in the 17, but I don’t know whether he is injured or not. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Think Carr will be one to watch, great sidestep, strong and quick. As for Whitehaven, prediction is Whitehaven 12 Rams 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad that was announced is slightly different to yours CF, unless something has changed. 21 Man Squad to face Whitehaven – Dewsbury Rams I would still go with your predicted lineup, however. It will be tight and fitness will be the key - I hope for a win by 8. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Crown Flatter Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 I wasn’t that far out with my squad choice. I’ll bet Walton does not play. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Credit to Whitehaven, they certainly stuck at it, but how many handling errors did we make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Terrible display from Dewsbury and especially Joe Marin who had the worst game I have seen from him.. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creditwhereitsdews Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Whitehaven played really well. They were patient and composed. Had we been, we might have scraped home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 A very poor performance after a promising start. I felt that Morris had a very good game with a ton of effort, Butterworth looked impressive, as did Day and Ryder improved as the game progressed but I would find it difficult to single anyone else out for praise. I wonder how long Sykes will miss - hamstring injuries can either clear quickly or take a month, or even longer. Who will we play at half back now? At least it maintains an old club tradition of getting drawn in Cumbria for the first match in the CC and failing disappointingly. Let's hope that this gives Lee plenty to work on for the forthcoming league campaign.

Had we been, we might have scraped home. I agree with you about the way Whitehaven played. You wouldn’t have thought that they were a man light and finished with only one sub available through injury. Well done to them. I don’t think we wanted to go to Widnes (or Llanelli for that matter) anyway! Frazer Morris was probably our best man and Butterworth and Day put in good stints, with Sam still the better of the two for me. Legs, Dews, Legs.

silcoates Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Too many errors -bombed one certain try-still should have won.Not enough attacking ideas-does anybody know what a grubber kick is in the team-if so never used.Sam had a good run which should have led to a try. Their seemed to be a number of fans or were they all officials?Are any fans allowed into grounds -i didn't think so.I can't fault the effort the lads put in-next week i am sure the result will be different.Well done to whitehaven.

Wakefield Ram Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yes Whitehaven did seem to have some fans in the covered end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
