creditwhereitsdews Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Looking forward to this game, if it goes ahead of course. Does anyone know why it's kicking off on a Saturday at 1pm? I notice Thornhill v the RAF in the Challenge Cup kicks off at 1.30pm the same day, which is a bit of a pity as I'm sure quite a few RL-starved fans would like to attend both games. A double-header at the Tetley's Stadium would have made a great start to the new year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham fisher Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Maybe it’s a 1pm ko on a Saturday so the players can go out after for a few drinks and no work next day. I’m looking forward to the game,I hope it’s a good turn out for Knowlsey as he certainly deserves it as he’s been a great servant to the game. Hopefully see all there a week on Saturday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I have no idea what the Dewsbury lineup will be (I have see Huddersfield’s 26 man squad), so I’ll stick with my Boxing Day thoughts: 1 Harry Copley (squad number 25) 2 Andy Gabriel 3 Adam Ryder 4 Davey Dixon 5 Lewis Carr 6 Alex Smith 7 Matty Beharrell 8 Jimmy Beckett 9 Reiss Butterworth 10 Harry Kidd 11 Chris Annakin (13) 12 Michael Knowles 13 Jackson Walker (26) 14 Dom Speakman 15 Aaron Hall (20) 16 Jordan Schofield 17 Ross Peltier That then leaves the likes of Brad Graham, Ollie Greensmith, Jake Sweeting (another trialist fullback?), Jason Walton and Jon Magrin to be used Dale Ferguson and Keenen Tomlinson must sit out this one ad they are suspended for one match. 1 Legs, Dews, Legs.

coolie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 From what I saw today the lads did good and we should be filled with hope for a decent season. Ref donned his giants shirt in the second half and the score didn't reflect the effort shown by our lads. Giants only missing Farge looked relegation fodder next season and I'm quite sure Huddersfield won't get into the 40's this season. Happy today with the effort shown by all our lads Roll on Friday under lights The best way to watch rugby league Bravo the lads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creditwhereitsdews Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Blimey, Dean Hall, remember his pre-match warm-up routine - tackling/nutting the goalpost. Great player. Thought we looked well organised today, especially in defence. Great kicking game and the odd offload, hope to see more. Lots of promise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thought it was a really good performance. Defensively really good up to last 15 minutes when full-time SL conditioning, their 26 players and lack of possession told. Thought the halves did well with Sweeting looking very useful. And what a goal kicker! Attack was a bit harder to judge due to Huddersfield line speed, but feeling confident we will do a bit better than last season. But I may have said that before Good to see Walton back and Knowles put in a stint and a half on defence. Great crowd for a friendly and hope Knowles made some decent money out of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good game,we can take a lot of positives from it as well. A few players stood out for me none more so than Alex Smith in the halves,good to see him fit,let’s hope it stays like that. Like you say it was a good turnout for Knozza,only downside for me was hearing that Huddersfield claiming half of the takings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Entertaining match with, as Coolie said, the referee showing a little favouritism towards Huddersfield, e.g. they were allowed a quick tap, but we were denied one and he seemed to find little reasons to penalise us, but let Huddersfield get away with them. I thought we did okay defensively, but still allowed the ball carrier to move forward and then release the ball, with players dangling from him. Things seemed to turn in the Giants’ favour when the fog lifted, they brought on their youngsters when we were tiring and then they threw the ball around, catching us napping out wide (as in seasons past). I heard a comment from a Fartown fan behind me who noticed the same. Saw some nice play from the halves and both sides had plenty of tactical kicking ideas, just unfortunate that theirs mostly came to fruition, but ours tended to fail on most occasions. I have said before that I knew nothing of Sweeting, so it was a big surprise to me to see such quality goal kicking produced by him. I’m afraid it looks like we do need a full back though. 1 Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolie Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I wonder if Sweeting will get the gig at fullback No burrehl yesterday and expect him to start so 3 into 2 doesn't go I know Carr as done fullback But what about Dixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
