Excolt 1 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hornets are 8-1 to win league . Great bet I think. Possibly big odds because of the six away games. At least they are at the start of the season when the squad is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glemiln Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 40-16 win for Hornets, but far too many unforced (and forced) errors. Thankfully, we upped the ante at start of second half and the mercurial Penkywicz with 4 tries changed the match - yet, much to work on. Credit to West Wales who gave us a good game and look a useful side - certainly a big improvement on previous seasons, especially with Rangi Chase and some big guys. We need to remember that points difference this season and percentage wins may shape final positions - letting in that last try was sloppy! The Doncaster match will be interesting after they lost 18-44 at Keighley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ornit4ever Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I wins a win and West Wales were a much better team than the score line suggests. Hornets biggest problem is the poor discipline and they rightly got heavily penalised. If the coaching staff don’t pick up on that it could come back to bite us as the season progresses.

Big Doug Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 A good opening result against a much improved West Wales team. Far to many simply errors spoiled what was a good performance. We will get better and look as though we will be a hard side to beat. The Our League coverage was excellent and more than made up for not being able to have spectators. Well worth the £5.

Excolt 1 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Just on the percentage thing. The League Express has us top. Can anyone explain how our result is better than Keighleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Doyle Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 As an ex-pat exiled in the South of France it's great to be able to watch the Hornet's games live. A curates egg of a performance. When Penky was on, we looked a different team, we got a bit of momentum going ,with Marriott and Baker running off him really well. When he left the field it all went a bit disjointed and we seemed to lose focus. Plus points were the pack, especially in their defensive duties. Fairclough and Yates should be a decent half back partnership when they get more cohesive. Lots to work on in training and Hornet's will need an improved 80 minute display if they are to take the points next week, but it was so good to watch the team play live again.

Can anyone explain how our result is better than Keighleys. The BBC has, rightly, Hornets 2nd - we conceded that soft try at the hooter! End of season places= Highest number of points decides. In the event of tied points, places are decided on final points difference. If that doesn’t solve it - greater points percentage during the season = for/conceded x100. If still equal, continues until result = most tries =most drop goals =toss of coin The top placed team is promoted at the end of season without any play-off. Hopefully without going through those hoops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excolt 1 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 I would expect League Express to get it right over the BBC . I’ve tried to add a photo of the League but it won’t download for some reason. The league could be tied so this does matter , are those rules for a normal season or this?

moorside roughyed Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I just hope you can get promoted and we can stay up. If that happens we can all look forward to next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glemiln Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 “Our League” is showing Keighley top and currently, the rules are stated for 2021 season. There is a caveat that some operational rules have been tweaked because of Covid. It does not elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excolt 1 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 I remember reading they wanted percentages in case COVID cancelled games. For me in normal times Keighley are top but there does seem confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
