A good match up and genuine chance for Bears to keep the winning habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these guys have played a number of games in SL, Championship and L1. Over half of the Bears squad is locally based players ie. Located within the midlands (this includes Peter Ryan an Irish player based at Cov Uni). There's also a group from Hull and a couple of others from elsewhere. A number of players have come through the student game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMrC Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Tough going for West Wales at the moment. No Rangi Chase or (ahem) Henson today. While they have no doubt improved think it'll be a tough season again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they have no doubt improved think it'll be a tough season again. They’ve signed a player in his late thirties who has never played the sport, and a maverick half back whose best form was a decade ago. Other than that it’s the same squad of players from previous seasons. They won’t win a game all season. I wish them well, but bloody hell they must have some mentally strong staff, because getting turned over week in week out isn’t fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it on his own though. They've got some good players and definitely have improved but it's very difficult once you're in a rut to get out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEANO Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 If the raiders fail to win a game it’ll mean they’ve actually gone backwards sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance against Crusaders or Bears. I'd agree they have improved though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorks Tim Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Crusaders were impressive in defence and attack. Both sides guilty of errors but Bears really suffered. Very disappointing after last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwydianrange Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 A good win for Crusaders after most people were tipping Bears to triumph. Some great tries scored in glorious weather and that ground looks good. We’ll be able to judge ourselves next week as Drakeford has kindly allowed us to attend a match from tomorrow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMrC Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Very frustrating from the Bears today who actually played well at times. Crusaders were excellent today though especially defensively and were very clinical seizing on Bears errors to pile on the points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
