Well we aren't going to be boring to watch, with and without the ball.

Looks like we've got a hell of a player in Sabutey, a try scoring machine.

No substitute for pace . Crack is he was headed for the championship and it fell through . Good for us . Always makes me think of subbuteo as well

Maybe Cocker. I remember David Lowden getting 4 at Elland Road against Hunslet

Elliot Hall scored 5 in the season Covid struck v Keighley at home.

That's 10 tries in 5 games for Sabutey fantastic stuff, a great piece of recruitment

Great performance that, remember 2 of us going down in my car at the last minute. had a pint in the Peacock outside the stadium, it was bouncing with Townies when we got there. Great memories of a brilliant period for our club.

when was the last time a town winger scored 5 tries home or away?

Stuart Cocker on a Wednesday night versus Barrow.

[Cumberland Sausage]

I seem to remember Tee Ritson getting 5 but not sure if he was playing wing or fullback.

Great video David,teams weren’t safe didn’t matter where we were on the pitch,just pleased I got to watch a lot of them try’s live

[Hate the rec]

Well done lads with the win today but I have to say that has to be one of the worst grounds I have ever watched town play on, the standard is shocking, only toilet facilities where two porta loos, plastic chairs for the elderly, you couldn't see the game if you weren't at the front of the barrier's , next year the hurricane's will be in the 80 million pound athletics stadium, that will be great for their 60 supporters to rattle around in,   we where in a pub just down the road from the ground and where asked what we where there for and none of them had heard of RL or even  the Hurricanes !! Expansion eh
