Dewsbury v Rochdale Wed 19th 7pm

[Wakefield Ram]

Yes, we have another game.

Watched most of the Whitehaven game, where we did a huge amount on defence. 

If we can get off to a good start, maybe get Danny Addy back and put in a decent attacking kicking game, then we are in with a chance. 

But Rochdale had a good win at Workington so should be in good spirits.

Apparently he’s a tall back rower from the giants.

Ideal to catch high kicks near the line then.....

[Transpennine Ram]

We will need some good catching today in defence - they love a high bomb and a two man chase do Dale.

A key battle for the prime non-playoff spots will draw a big crowd, no doubt.

Our performance against Haven was uninspiring; lots of effort in defence but unstructured which leads quickly to greater fatigue. If we play smart we could win, if we don't it might well be a walk in the park for Dale. Apparently Dalimore wove some magic on Sunday so will need to be watched closely.

Rams 18 - 28 Dale

FTS: O'Connor (if he stays on the pitch)

MoM: Hookem

The way we are playing I can see only another defeat looming.

Well it's just Groundhog Day.

Unbelievably we actually put a high kick to the corner and we scored a try. Obviously we didn't try it again, I mean why would you? Instead we try to twice try go blind with no space and get forced into touch. Once we get into the opposition 20, we seem to have no organisation and no composure. Dallimore showed us how to kick.

We need two new half backs and three props and a new coach. And Louie Walker isn't a Championship level half back. He was targeted on defence again just like Hunslet did. I'm guessing Hookem is leaving, which is no great loss. He's a better hooker than scrum half.

Bailey O'Connor should take all the kicks, he's the best kicker. 

Anyway that's me done for the season as I don't want to watch Batley put 40-50 past us and I can't make the last game.

And if PM stays I won't be coming next season as we will be a bottom 4 team next season. I'd say we are currently the 3rd/4th worst team in the league in front of Crusaders, Keighley and possibly Workington. 

I guess the only positive from this season is finishing in the bottom half will gives us easier fixtures.

I actually enjoyed the game as it was a relatively close contest for maybe 70 minutes- but two mediocre teams representative of the bottom half of the table. Yes it is poor and we know we have little quality but I will be back on Sunday and next year for as long as there are blokes willing to put on the Red Amber and black I will be there to support them, March or no March. 

[Thornhill ram]

It was a close game  but Rochdale didn't make a mistake all night. Rams yet again made several critical mistakes especially in attack. Self inflicted wounds. Many Rams players played really well tonight & deserved more.

Going blindside twice on 3rd tackle & losing possession was criminal.

We need a standoff or scrumhalf who can actually create things....

Again not kicking high to corners.. why? We have tall players out there. 

A game Rams lost, rather than rochdake won....
