Unless of course you are more in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distantdog Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Thought that was a really good performance, especially uphill. Perfect kicking game from the half backs, Woods especially, and great running from the pack, backed up by good defence. Downhill we were a bit more loose but ran out comfortably. Looking forward to the draw for the next round (s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The scrim reaper Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) All round great performance! apart from a couple hiccups at the end. I thought and probably most had this game down as a close one, we dominated them from the off our forwards out powered them throughout the first half and made good yards, the only down side for me was how many times we just handed over the ball on the last play! The two tries scored at the end of the half where the turning point, second half was more of same we just out muscled them and dominated field position, apart from the two late tries they scored when the game was over it was good all round team performance, with a few individuals having great performances! WELL DONE BOYS! Edited April 23 by The scrim reaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dovster Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Congratulations on the the deserved win today. We never really managed to get into the game. I think Batley wanted it more. Good luck with the draw. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy's mate Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Excellent first half and a solid start in the second only spoilt by the last 10 minutes or so. Would like to meet Fax at Wembley, but let's see how far we can get in the challenge Cup first lol Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WELL DONE BOYS! I generally agree, but didn't mind us being tackled on the last on their line. I thought it showed a patient approach and showed we weren't panicking.

phildog Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 MASSIVE drawback though is goal-kicking, 3 from 7. I realise we've been spoilt for 2 seasons, but we brought in a kicking scrum half, who probably hasn't clicked due to the ankle injury, Morton's a decent kicker who didn't miss many when he had a decent run of kicking and Meadows has kicked enough. We don't want missed goals coming back and biting our rrs when we hit a run of tight games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy's mate Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Impressed with Morton's finish in the top corner and McGowan stepping caught Keighley flat footed a number of times. Also missing Manning, but thought Flynn stepped in flawlessly 1 Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromleybulldog Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Very solid performance. Dominated possession and position in the first half and gave Keighley very little to work with. Second half was one sided and I almost relaxed- which I very rarely do when watching us! Keighley poor and need a lot more size and aggression in their pack. Gale did nothing. Might have been slightly different if Chisholm had played but we were never going to let that game slip from our grasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therein73 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Good luck in both the Cup draws .......... a nice money-spinner at a SL club and a home draw in the 1895 Cup and who knows ?? Now that our dreams are over, it would be great to see the other Heavy Woolen team stepping out at Wembley. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scrim reaper Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) I thought the sportsman coverage was really good today pre match and post match interviews plenty camera angles and full replays and some good commentary! A lot better than the what seems to be one camera down the middle shot by the pathetic BBC coverage, no replays no pre match, or post match interviews, and a woman commentator! it's diabolical! glad I don't pay the license fee!

Northern Eel Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Much improved display and thoroughly well deserved for the Bulldogs. It was made to look comfortable in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 There are a couple of things which are going well for us just now; Josh Woods is now getting into games a lot more, he has good hands and eyes and yesterday a couple of times he started a passing sequence thinking two balls ahead and he also has soft hands dropping passes off, especially to Walshaw reminiscent of the Stainburn/Geary pairing and his positional field kicking is strong. Anyone else notice as well how Meadows and Hodson are pairing up in moves? They clearly know the strengths that lay between them built up over a couple of seasons at London and the couple here. Behind them as well is Ben White doing every job he gets landed with. Never shines but makes a fair break, puts in a tackling shift and covers every position when a man's out of position having made a break or a tackle. He's covered 1, centre, both halves, 9 and 13 often in 1 match. Yes, we'll miss Meadows for 2 games but if those partnerships continue and prosper in drier conditions we'll be alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
