Swinton Lions v Dewsbury Rams 23rd March, KO: 14:00

[creditwhereitsdews]

That's two and a half games of improving quality rugby league from us. It's a joy to watch these players grow in confidence, and the coaching and backroom staff seem to have got everyone involved playing as a well drilled unit which we've missed for a couple of years. I liked how we got them to cough up possession early in the tackle count through committed and disciplined defence. The fans turned up and played their part so let's hope we can keep on this arc of improvement. Up the Rams.

The ref certainly has no problem with communication

Two stupid attempted trips from Delaney. He could easily have been binned again after 2nd Swinton try. 

But great to see Ferguson playing up the middle wreaking havoc.

Keighley made a big 2nd half comeback and only just lost, so maybe not get too carried away....

Fair point. I am notorious for my over-confidence.

Fergie had a great game but limped off towards the end. Let's hope it isn't serious.

Fergie limps off after every game

Was Delaney sin binned for the first attempted trip? Because the match report say dissent. I’m not condoning what he did,but the way the Swinton player went down was pathetic. The Fergie one that stood out for me was when he put big Adam Sidlow on his backside

Might be wrong about your reason for the sin bin. Yes, it wasn't really any sort of trip, but daft thing to do.

Was one of the touch judges acting as a mentor to Tara Jones? One of them is clearly heard instructing/suggesting what should be done.

He kicked the player for no reason. Until I saw the video I thought it was for dissent. He then kicked out at the player who scored their last try - why?

I thought that was whoever was videoing the game. She didn't require mentoring as far as I could see and has refereed quite a few games now. She will be doing Championship matches before long, on merit.
