Workington and Cougars to win confortably.

 

North Wales Crusaders v Midlands Hurricanes will be be a close fought encounter. Midlands were the better team at the last fixture, preceded by a spectacular thunderstorm; lets hope we have fine weather and all the fireworks are on the pitch. Crusaders to edge it by a try.

I think I'll recognise you. I'm sure you were at the Alexandra Stadium and presented the ball for the game.

A bit of needle ahead of the Cougars - Rochdale game today. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the directors box today

No though the thread started with a quote from Mr Farage bizarrely. It ended up being a bust up between the Chairmen of Cougars and Rochdale. Drink may have been involved

A fairly depressing day on the North Wales coast this afternoon. After a decent start when the Cru took a deserved lead it all fell apart against a lively and well organized Midland side that wasn't afraid to mix it and take the occasional, um, tougher approach when things looked dangerous. On top of that it looks as another player's copped a nasty injury. And next week it's Oldham away (gulp).

Another win for Midlands who weren't phased by the hosts opening the scoring. Sure it was feisty at times but Canes kept their cool while Crusaders were handicapped by one yellow and one red card. I would have given MOM to Matty Chrimes, who returned on loan today, but McLelland got the official nod. 

I don't think we've seen Hurricanes at their best yet this season and it may take a bit more to beat Rochdale next time out. If this squad stays fit for the rest of the season I'm confident those first rate performances will come.

Yes, pretty embarrassing…shame because from all accounts the two teams played a cracking game…..but then presumably they hadnt been on the booze.

Well played Hurricanes; the better team won and although I thought our cards were very harsh and Hurricanes got away with a cheap shot on Carl Forster, I don't think the officials lost us the game. Hurricanes came with a good game plan and executed it well.

Nice to meet you at Eirias Park. Good luck for the rest of the season
