Blind side johnny Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Taking a tip from Lupset Ram what are our thoughts on tomorrow's match? We have named an interesting squad to add grist to the discussion mill. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

the old nine ole Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 We have a number of players injured and rested, which gives Liam an opportunity to see some of the squad in action... I also don't think he will risk Ferguson on an artificial pitch ... but we should still have enough to beat them ... looking forward to seeing what the half back combination will be!

I was confused by the fact that Finny has more or less named the usual squad. Are some of those named unavailable or injured? Seems strange??

Wouldn't risk any players that are carrying any knocks. Weekend off next week before Doncaster at home then Oldham away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Following my unsuccessful team selection for the Broncos match, let’s see if this is an improvement for the trip to the Skolars: Restall; Carr, Jordan, Greensmith, Dixon; Sykes, Littlewood; Beckett, Butterworth, Walker; Garside, Graham; Collinson Subs: Collins, Morris, Coventry, Summers 18th man: Wilkinson, with Ferguson, Davies and D/R Farrar being omitted. It seems we are unable to stop a side from scoring and assume this will continue on Saturday. London Skolars 10-56 Dewsbury FTS: Restall MoM: Butterworth Att: 168 1 Legs, Dews, Legs.

RugbyPowelly Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Travel and the change in routine for the lads may impact general performance but I can only see a win of a least 20-30 points today! I think some of the bigger lads need to show that they can defend and today is the ideal time to prove that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 0-36 at Half Time. We might pinch this one. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 A less than impressive second half left Liam most displeased with the display as a whole. When asked which players had impressed him the most he effectively said "the ones that didn't play today". I have no doubt that there will be a much more focussed and determined team out on the 14th. 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

RugbyPowelly Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Thankfully the opposition this season are awful. Barely any better than the ‘local’ teams in W Yorkshire. Finding it boring now, no competition. But I have huge concerns about the side for next season. We shouldn’t be over excited about how good we are, they’re playing nothing. Our forwards flatter to deceive, both the top players and the stand ins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSTUD Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Job done. Some of those players have spent the best part of 16 hours plonked on a coach within the past 6 days. 2 further points in the bag let’s move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Ram Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I agree the travel and the fact that some will have played 12 weeks on the trot(including cup and Huddersfield friendly) must have taken a bit of a toll. A win is a win and now time to rest and regroup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Well we won, but I am dismayed that in the two London matches we have lost our way after half time and to cap(ital) it all the Skolars (bottom team in the league) managed to win the second half. Listening to the interview with Liam, you could hear the displeasure in his voice and his words and if we lose concentration, focus, call it what you will, then it will manifest itself into a defeat against Doncaster. It doesn’t matter that our opponents are “awful” as one contributor on this forum has opined, but we got ourselves into this league and must play and beat all those “awful” teams if we are to win promotion. 3 1 Legs, Dews, Legs.

Crown Flatter Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Well I think I did quite well in my predictions for this match: Team selection I got close, but not enough for the proverbial cigar, 6 out on Skolars score and 8 down on ours, Spot on with Restall and Butterworth as FTS and MoM respectively, Only 68 more spectators than I anticipated. Anyone want help with backing the horses, doing the lottery or pools??? 2 Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all look forward to your predictions for the Doncaster game CF, or will you be changing your name to Mother Shipton?. 2 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
