phildog Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hope a couple of injuries are healing, regardless of how everybody has pulled together I still think we really miss Tonks, he's a great presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to take anything away from Batley but I don’t think Newcastle will be as bad as we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tms Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Newcastle have a big pack 2 lively halfbacks some quick outside backs and the everlasting Bob Beswick Although well beaten at FEV their heads never dropped and they played the full 80 Despite the score 68-12 and as daft as it sounds they played some good rugby I think your defence will have to be on the ball all the game because Newcastle keep coming and if it doesn't do the job you ask from it Newcastle will score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep The Faith Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 We played well 7.5/10 we need to learn to pull the trigger when in attack more but I’m sure CL will be telling them we could of had more points in both halves our defence was good but they scored of 19 tackles in the first & 43 tackles in the second half. Our skill level has improved but we still can’t be making basic errors against the better teams... game was over after 25 minutes Newcastle put everything into that & struggled badly... http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

distantdog Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I thought we were OK at best - a bit patchy but way too good for NT. We weren't as slick as we could have been on their line but defence was pretty strong. They were solid but nothing more, though had a decent high kicking game that we struggled with at times.

Agree with this, NT started very poorly and we took advantage, although that third try of ours looked decidedly dodgy. Too many handling errors, trying to squeeze the ball out and what's with kicking on the first tackle of a fresh set, did the ref not make it clear? Was a great result, need to tighten up for next few games though if we want to push on for one of those top slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 BB our field kicking hasn't been great all season, it's been so predictable, always 6th tackle, always long, we rarely put up kicks that we can challenge, relying on defenders dropping, we play on a pitch which falls away more than 20 feet...how many 40/20's have we pulled off? Varying the timing and types of kick might be useful. Somebody ring Henry Oulton and ask for his advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redditchbulldog Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 have you watched any games this season as ive seen us kick on the 4th tackle a few times, agree we dont try for many 40 -20 kicks at home and the master of the slope IMHO was Stan Gittins he would have had a field day with 40 -20 rule.

We kicked one yesterday or were my eyes closed it came in the 1st set up the slope and we scored from it yesterday the kick on the first tackle came from Buchanan who followed it up in the final minute forced a drop out... Gilmore kick for the third try was something different too hopefully we are starting to click just at the right time of the season http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..
