coolie Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Good gritty performance today Now the stuff I didn't like 3 times with ball in hand we gave silly penalty's away.. That needs addressing. Also after scoring the first set of 6 is mostly sloppy and uncompleted putting ourselves under pressure 2 points and a solid performance were the order of the day.. And that was achieved so we're all happy tonight Edited May 14, 2023 by coolie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakefield Ram Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Very good performance overall. Doncaster succeeded when they were able to slow the ptb down. Once the identified Graham's advantage over Halliday, they made the most of it. Tackled really well, though surprised Doncaster didn't try to kick on 6th near our line. But well done to the players, they deserved the win and top marks to Butterworth for another top 80 minutes on defence and attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) That was a real tough, top of the table clash. Great defensive work from our lads, but, we have to stop giving away those silly penalties. A bit like Leeds Rhinos when they lost a player on Friday evening it galvanised them as a unit, we managed something similar after Turner was sin binned. A man down we scored, but I think the turning point came when Restall was awarded a penalty try. That seemed to free us up and when we targeted Tom Halliday’s corner with high kicks we scored three tries. Well done the team for the performance, but I make it we still lost the penalty count 4-6.

Well, let me assure you - and anyone else who may have taken exception - that absolutely NO dis-respect was meant to either the choice of MOM or to Brad himself ........ It was meant to be a humorous attempt to highlight the fact that it was an almost impossible choice to pick one out of so many top performances ........ and that was later reaffirmed in the interview with LF ........ Our sponsors are vital to the club, and I believe "Language is everything" were hugely acknowledged for their match sponsorship and were given the opportunity to highlight their service offering. Don't always get things right ........ but I do try !! I'm sorry to both parties if my 'humour' was interpreted as anything other. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Ram Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Unfortunately I am missing this game but will be nervously following on social media with fingers crossed. but I think the lads will deliver another win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Ram Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 A last minute change of plan meant I could be at the match and so glad I was. A great performance by the lads especially when a man down to prevent Dons scoring AND score ourselves. A lot of credit to Liam and his team for building a team who play for each other and the shirt. Now on to Oldham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very noticeable that great improvements were made on the day. Sometimes we and definitely ME are quick to moan but slow or never quick to praise. I noticed members of the Amber Ribbon crew were involved. Great stuff and thanks again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOM selection at any level is in my opinion always subjective. Just felt that some things are better not said on a live Mike. Imagine being in the audience after you had just put a shift in displayed fantastic athletic ability in a game that mattered. An un blinkered brand new sponsor makes a selection only for both parties to be be publicly informed that some people felt it was the wrong choice. For what it is worth I felt that all seventeen collectively deserved it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper game of rugby league at our current level. Two proper sets of passionate supporters. Thanks again and keep up the good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I have to agree with the general sentiment in the messages above. It felt like a proper game yesterday against two well matched sides. The result was in the balance until around the 65 min mark before we stretched ahead. It would be great if we get promotion back to the Championship and then improve enough to be a competitive side again at that level. However this has to be earned. Looking forward to the Oldham game on Sunday! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham fisher Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Enjoyed the game on Sunday very much,massive effort from 1 to 17. A few fans on their Facebook page thought they were hard done by the referee,I did disagree with them with my opinion,I’m now banned Watching the highlights I think Brett Ferres might be in a bit of bother for throwing the ball at the referee after he awarded us the penalty try,which I thought was the correct call as Restall would have got to the ball,that was one thing the Doncaster fans weren’t happy about even though they didn’t have a clear view as they were behind the posts at the opposite end of the field Anyway onto the Oldham game,another very tough match against a good side. Looks like we will be without Paul Sykes due to a pulled hamstring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do however seem intent on hammering home your opinion and putting a very negative 'spin' on what actually happened, which is disappointing and not something I will carry on debating. You seem to have the support of Nick D & Rambo, (as with yourself SS, I don't think I personally know these gentlemen) so there's enough of you to mass debate between yourselves. You may be interested in volunteering (i.e. without personal reward) to do the job for a while next season .... I'll be missing for at least six weeks and I'm sure the Club would love to know about anyone who'd like to take up the mic in my absence. Keep enjoying the brilliant Rugby we're serving up this season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the exact opposite and suspect there won’t be many volunteers for your kind offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
