Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. After a decent first half that finished 2 tries each, the second was a disaster with the Cru suddenly clueless - even the 'consolation' try right at the end was more to do with Hunslet's concentration slipping with the game well won. Crusaders now third from bottom with Worky winning in Cornwall, which on this performance is about where we deserve to be. Some thing needs to happen to turn this around, but I haven't a clue what.

   What an outstanding win for Oldham i was daft enough to think Keighley would run them close.Playing Budget dwarfs the rest in Div 1 but the players have to bond into a solid winning unit.Sean Long is a good coach and Fev got rid of him too quickly Campbell again to bring his mate Ford in.And look how that is progressing.

Enjoyed the game as a neutral. Crusaders played a great brand of rugby at times but ultimately Hunslet were far more clinical.

The Hurricanes were very unlucky.

I'll leave it at that

I think you're being very generous to the Cru!! Second half we were awful. Lost the plot and Hunslet, quite rightly, capitalised on our poor performance. I hope we never play that poorly again, particularly as we have to play Hunslet again at their place! We wont get into the playoffs on that display.

To be honest it was just refreshing to see a side (ultimately unsuccessfully!) try to shift the ball about and play with a deeper line having been bored to tears watching Halifax and Featherstone try and bash each other the previous week.
