The Lad Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Today was a tough one to watch, thought we were second best in all departments as the Rams played to their strengths. This team is young and that has it's advantages but today some of the drawbacks were on show, we were a little naive at times and lacked the levelheadedness in possession to punish Dewsbury. Hornets has never had a big pack and we play best when we spread the ball but we didn't do enough of that, driving up the middle isn't the right move against a pack as big as Dewsbury. We seem to be lacking an old head that can run the game, in the loss v Doncaster and today we looked a little unsure of what to do at times when the game was up for grabs. But the team never stopped and gave 100%, that commitment can't be understated. We have players who want to play for us and prove themselves against the best in the league and that can only be a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excolt 1 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Everyone I spoke to today bar none said we need a couple of old heads to lead the enthusiasm around the field . I’m sure the management know this but if we can’t afford this then we have get on with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Bath Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Could some of the 150-200k being offered for a CEO be reallocated for an experienced player or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship27 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Surely that can’t be correct? No way the job is worth that kind of money? We could attract as many “old heads” as we need for less than half that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Doug Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Dewsbury were faster and bigger and we found it hard to cope with that over 80 minutes. That said we never backed down and although the score did not reflect it our lads tackled themselves to a standstill. we camped on their line many times but just lacked the craft to get over the line. Well done lads you battled to the last. 2 I HAVE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN. BUT I HAVE WOKEN UP WITH A FEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athleticgrounds Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Old head definitely needed, if not we are in the Cornwall, London, Midland bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lads never stopped trying, and showed no lack of effort, a young team and if you can keep them together will have a decent team in a couple of years, hang in with these lads.. Looking at some of the standard of rugby so far in championship 1, bags of effort and little skill but that's only expected with a youthful team, you won't come last this season nor will you win it... Just keep building and you won't be far off. 2. What was the raffle numbers yesterday? Eager to sell us tickets but not forthcoming with the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I was stood next to the lady who did the announcing at the time. I presume whoever had the winning tickets claimed the prize.

Anita Bath Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The IMG test does not include playing record 2 years in the future unfortunately…so we need to up the ante this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ornit4ever Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 In all fairness we did have a couple of experienced players missing due to injury, whether that would have made any difference who knows. Cannot fault the effort put in by our team but we did capitulate badly in the second half especially. RUGBY LEAGUE WITHOUT ROCHDALE HORNETS IS LIKE AN UNSHARPENED PENCIL, THERES NO POINT?
