My point is that, on paper, they have a decent team, or at least some decent individuals. While being confident, I think last season should serve as a warning. Could it possibly be another Curious Incident Of The Dogs In The Night-time? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Piggy's mate Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Silenced they were! I thought they should have run their penalties first half, I guess that is how a team low on confidence does, but they might have built a better lead to defend. In the end it always looked inevitable. NB - Perhaps if Sykes spent the same amount of time talking to his team as he does to the ref, that might help?

phildog Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Thought Rams contributed immensely to the game, full of effort first half and they bullied us. I know Rams fans will be unhappy and calling for LeeG to go, but stick with it, you weren't far off today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog forever Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Nowt came off for us first half, and gave far too many penalties away to be much if a threat. Second half rams scored first and it could gave been curtains, they were playing some decent rugby. Then enter leak, the game changed we clicked and the rest is history . Always a pleasing win over rams. Up to 5th in table. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep The Faith Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Another win in the bag it’s all good we started of slowly and built into the game I thought Senior had scored in the first half but couldn’t hold on… buchanan was class with meadows and Leak Gilmore wears the dinner jacket… we grafted a decent win out there onto Widnes next weekend http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

Give over - your forwards were up to no good and lying on just as much as any of ours were; it is RL you are watching you know. Why Sykes got the yellow I don't know, given what the referee had let go previously, but it certainly influenced the scoreline if not the eventual result. To be frank I thought that your lot were a bit disappointing in the 1st half - dropping balls all over the place and forward passes. You will be glad that Reilly has signed for you as a couple of your forwards are starting to wane.

I was quite impressed with your forwards in that first half, ran hard and worked hard too. Liked Dixon at full back too. Sykes still pulling your strings at his age is remarkable and his dismissal did make a difference, though still think we would have won. We were disappointing but still won by some distance which says plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Sykes yellow card, you often have to watch a replay to make an objective assessment but it just looked tired and clumsy to me. I felt a tad sorry for him. I do think that the referee should have been firmer with the lying on. It did not make for a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unusual in these derby games. Their quality showed in the end, though. There was a big improvement in the second half, and I thought the final score a fair result. And yes, I'm glad we're another quality forward signed for the 'Dogs - competition for places, and giving injured players time to heal, and all that. As for Sykes, perhaps the ref put him in the bin for ten minutes peace and quiet? Quid quid latine dictum sit altum videtur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silcoates Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 What is the point of rolling out former players and not naming them.I agree old Batley players were no where near as good as our glorious Dewbury ones with lots of cups to their names. But i would still have liked to know who they were.Dewbury did the same by the way -pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
