It's a shame to see the talent he had wasted, especially when you compare it to Donaldson who's has had a very good career consistently in SL, I believe they both came through the amateurs at a similar time.

Doesn't look fit to me, it's hard to play catchup when you haven't been training long. More perplexing is how Hutchings doesn't get in. I reckon when CT does give him a proper go we'll find we've got a gem. Scholey should be back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumberland Sausage Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Great to get the win and hopefully that gives the lads a big boost and it is nothing less than they deserve. I was impressed with our discipline today and some of our goal line defence was unbelievable and not sure how many times London were held up over the line but it must have been double figures. Also seemed like a very good crowd today considering we are bottom of the League,zero away support and on the telly with daft O'clock kick off but well done to the club for putting the price offers and also the Fanzone which seemed to go down well.Hopefully no injuries from today and every minute Glen Riley gets on the pitch will only help him to get match fit and I think he will give us that bit of size we were looking for in the forwards. As said by many others I hope Lovell is Ok and makes a full recovery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Great day at Derwent Park with family brilliant to get the 2 points. Just watched game on Prem makes you realise what you miss live. All played like we should play every game, Fitzy is superb gives his all as does Doran both good as usual, Brown did well, that try from O’Brien though should be in for Try of Week. Thought commentators Cook & Brown got MOM right. Simons was outstanding both in defence & round ruck 2 tries & try assists. Game changed when he was off & brought control when back on great team player & lucky to have him I rate him, quietly goes about his business & gives his all. We won that up the middle & discipline was good. Hope that gives us the confidence we need going forward. Tough one on Sunday Chris may rest key players give the other lads a go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's brilliant, hopefully todays result gives the lads a bit of motivation, also the board can keep the off field entertainment ect going, its surprising what extra ££££££ can be made from them, well done to all involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anok4u Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Been going to derwent Park for 40 odd years and I don't think I've ever seen a prop forward do a run like theirs did yesterday, I didn't think he was going to stop knocking our players out of the road! Great defence yesterday though,thought caine was awesome and that try saving tackle putting his body on the line was unreal. 2 points in the bag,fingers crossed more to come. 3 go **** yasell ya little **** gain NL1 then take ya **** out ya dads **** then speak proper rugby talk. you jameating little spotty ****...itchy waa waa 2008...

Hate the rec Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Well done Chris and the lads yesterday, a great performance and something to build on now , excellent fanszone area really added to the occasion as well, a number of good performances, Simons, Fitzy, Marcus, Brown and young Davies had his best game , Carl's defence was top draw today to , great attendance of 1135 considering no traveling fans an early kickoff and on TV it's got to be encouraging, well done everyone UTT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voodooguru Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Brilliant win yesterday, so pleased for Chris & the lads. Also it shows that even with all the things against them like half term, jubilee, on telly, etc etc a decent crowd turned up and probably made up the loss of the cheaper ticket prices with what they spent on food & drink. Let's hope its something that can be built on both on & off the field. I don't see any reason why we can't go to Batley and give them a game on Sunday. UTT 1 The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few in 70s Derek Watts comes to mind And dont forget "Fui" - Gary Mac put a good photo on Facebook a couple of year ago from behind sticks with the before, During and after shots of the poor fullback trying to stop him - probably questioning his decision to be a fullback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerT Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) That fanzone idea is great, we at Batley do it a few times a year and also the beer garden as well. Hope to see you on Sunday and hopefully a sunny day. The club is trying a beer fest on the Saturday so there might be some sore heads on Sunday.

Route66 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Great performance and plenty of games left to play, decent enough crowd but great atmosphere, would like to see the club try a similar price offer for at least one more game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town blue Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Most barn storming runs from props are direct, the London No. 10's path of destruction were diagonal runs, first towards the touchline, then back towards the sticks where desperate defence eventually stopped him.

Talking of bowling balls big Les Moore was up with the best of them but those two were much quicker and all class, Lomax probably one of the hardest hitters we have seen at DP, no wonder he was first choice for Canberra and NZ, back in the day, alongside Big Pongia Edited June 3, 2022 by Onreport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
