Wakefield Ram Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Well not going to this one and hard to call it until we know who's playing. If we can win, that will be a good boost going forward, but Workington gave Fev a tough game and with a heavy pitch, expect it will be a close encounter.

Blind side johnny Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I expect us to have a depleted team available given the injuries that we suffered on Monday. This will provide an opportunity for a couple of fringe players together with Knowles and, maybe, Ferguson. Derwent Park has often been an unhappy hunting ground for us and I have seen some defeats there over the years. It would take an optimist to predict anything else this time, but you never know, although I won't be there to witness it. I hope that those hardy fans that do attend have an enjoyable trip and a victorious outcome. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Ferguson still missing - decent strength squad otherwise.

Maybe Aaron Hall will get a run out would like to see Ollie Greensmith get a game too. Sykes due a rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Clubs these days seem less interested in the Challenge Cup than the time before SL, although I doubt any would admit any such thing. It’s a long way to travel tomorrow and return without a cup tie success, but I think that that will be the case, especially as I understand Ben Thaler is our referee. Defeat will allow us to concentrate on saving our souls in the league fixtures! Workington 20-12 Dewsbury FTS: Ryder MoM: Beckett Att: 677 Legs, Dews, Legs.

We don’t have good memories of Ben Thaler up here, I recall a cup tie at Hunslet in his early years, when he allowed them to try and kick us off the field. Thankfully, we were too good for the Huns I those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creditwhereitsdews Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 What made it hardest to deal with was the lack of ideas with ball in hand. I can't see how the absent players can address that. The whole squad should be buying into a way in which we play the game and that just seems to be one up rugby. Teams who play us have little to fear right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This statement seems to sum up the last few years … “The Rams pressed hard after the try but were unable to get over the line again” As does this “so the message was to complete sets and defend well” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 From the YouTube highlights, which last only 1’-56” it’s clear to see our defensive set was a shambles and tackling inept. If Greenwood sent out messages to complete sets and defend well, why didn’t our experienced players like Annakin and Knowles rally teammates into carrying out those messages? Listening to BBC Radio Cumbria’s fine commentary, it sounded like there was only Beharrell* conjuring any form of attack and he probably had nobody in support. * Scored his 1,000th point yesterday Legs, Dews, legs! Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
