Haven making Barra look good!!

I'd say the came was completely the opposite. We made so many errors we kept them in the game. 

9 errors in the first half and went in 18-6. Haven made no line breaks at all and could only gain field position off errors and penalties. If Barrow had completed at a decent rate it would have been a cricket score.

Is that a teenage Harry Potter as the far side touchie?

[Sports Prophet]

Lots of arguing going on between the French players.

[The Blues Ox]

Toulouse playing like Wakey.

[The Blues Ox]

Just a question after 3 one sided games, why can't the fixtures be decided last minute based on league positions? Realistically we are looking at one competitive fixture out of 6.

Not even a programme bet there's one next week, Rugby League are a disgrace. Not interested in anything below SL.

Haha Walker what an idiot, what was he thinking?

Its completley half assed. First one I have not gone to, poor fixtures at a poor choice of venue. Saving money and watching on TV.

Absolute comedy of errors at the end of the London Toulouse game. Toulouse have lots of injuries but still surprising how poor they were given the personnel they had on show.

[theswanmcr]

Well I for one enjoyed that London Toulouse match.

Plenty of errors for sure but some glimpses of quality and an exciting finish.

Great to hear a proper cockney voice from the Broncos player at the end too

Agree Oxy, waste of time however with regard to the fixtures, of the three games currently completed you've forecast two of them wrong.

First one we've been to and disappointing, it's been 'dead' outside stadium no atmosphere at all, not much better in ground.

Why are you surprised, promo none existent, any other sport would have had posters at the station and around the City , banners around the stadium and surrounding area at the very least. For what it would have cost they might have got at least a few non RL people coming if only out of curiosity. The amount of tourist York gets who are looking for something to do, and with the Park and Ride buses to and from the City Centre transport isn’t an issue. No forward thinking, no thought about promoting the game, it really is a joke.

I wouldnt read too much in to it, I was half cut when I made it. I'm surprised I even ended up getting the correct teams against each other.

Believe Keyes will be missing a while , hows Walmsley and the other guy you mentioned?

Keyes season probably over baring a quick recovery, not heard anything about Walsmley so Im presuming hes fine. The other was Dorro if I remember rightly but think he is in the squad but would be surprised if he played given how he left the field. Might be a bit of a slog for both teams tomorrow given both teams fixtures this past week. Lets hope I don't get that one wrong.

Red card for Briscoe??

2 of the teams who won were lower down in the table than the teams they played.

Nah. Careless are worst, wasn't looking at Fitzsimons and was struggling to get up and play the ball. Unfortunate that Fitzsimons got cut but wasn't malicious.
