Futtocks Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I thought a general thread with reminders of games to watch would be more convenient than the current setup.

unapologetic pedant Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The Broncos/ Bedford game should be interesting. Bedford were beaten by The Army 56-10 on a Twitch stream recently, but looked more than capable. Score didn`t do them justice. A couple of weeks ago the Cornish Rebels played out an 18-18 draw with the Golden Ferns. As I predicted on another thread (with no great claims to prescience), the Rebels found the Cardiff Demons a tougher assignment last Saturday, losing 96-0. It`s Demons v Ferns this coming Saturday, which shapes as a tough afternoon for the Ferns. All will become clearer after Cardiff have played The Army or the Broncos but, judging from their results and what I`ve seen of the Welsh women`s national team, the Demons potentially could be competitive in the Northern WSL.

Demons 106 Ferns 0. I think the semi-finals will be Demons/Broncos and Army/Ferns. It`s fair to say there`s quite an imbalance between East and West divisions. Cardiff will go into their semi with results of 88-6, 24-0 (default presumably), 96-0, and 106-0. Clearly they haven`t yet been tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them play in the challenge Cup about 2/3 years ago and they look to have improved a lot since then. The difference in levels of fitness between the two sides is very evident early on. This could be a massive scoreline, hope the Golden Ferns can dig in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalMrC Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 110 - 0 to the Army The Golden Ferns get a lesson on where they need to be to challenge the better teams. You'd expect the Army to be fitter the difference in fitness levels was a massive factor. Think this is only their first season though? They'll no doubt get better given time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapologetic pedant Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Half-time Demons 32 Broncos 12. There`s less between the teams than the score suggests. The Broncos have conceded 3 repeat sets through kick reception stuff-ups. Cardiff look good though. It`s a pity they weren`t entered in this year`s women`s CC. On the coverage - he comes across as a decent bloke, but I really can`t get on with Dave Parkinson. He sounds like he`s commentating for CBeebies.

zylya Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Watched both of the Super League South semi-finals. Army vs Ferns was obviously tough for the Bristol team, especially after losing by a similar margin to Cardiff Demons the week previous. Army looked pretty sharp. Felt a bit for Golden Ferns - there were some good players in their side, but their defence seemed to become disconnected too easily, meaning they were trying to make 1v1 tackles rather than the 2/3 player tackles that the Army were making. Broncos vs Demons was a cracking game - after Cardiff started strongly, I thought it could end up being the same as the previous game, but Broncos fought back into it and it became a really good encounter. Didn't catch the last twenty minutes, but thought both sides showed a lot of class. Army vs Cardiff in the final this weekend should be a really good game.

Not as big a cricket score as expected, yet. Barrow stoic in defence. They`re testing the ref`s patience a bit at the ruck. There`s a limit to how sympathetic he can be. First time I`ve seen him, having a really good game. Saints bombed a try with some in-goal arrogance. Barrow have twice missed touch with penalty kicks. Coach needs to fix that - just take the tap.

unapologetic pedant Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Full time - Barrow 0 St. Helens 68. Hopefully Barrow not too shell-shocked. When you see this kind of mismatch, plus players going down with cramp, you have to question again the wisdom of 40 minute halves for women`s games.

Richard de la Riviere Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I really enjoyed the game. It’s easy to be put off by one-sided games, but sometimes it’s just great marvelling at a champion team doing what they do best. Hardcastle, Travis, Burke, Whitfield and Harris were all superb for Saints, and Mottershead had a great debut off the bench. Barrow were reasonably competitive and had some decent players. If the respective men’s teams played, the score may well be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
