Don't knock one player for a pass which was intercepted....others has done the same in the past and will continue to do so in the future....they are attempting to open up the play, get the open areas used for clearing lines / attacking etc. A missed tackle by a half-back is noticed more than the missed tackles, dropped tackles etc by forwards.... no player has a perfect 80 mins, if they did then what would the games be like?





Instead of being critical be constructive.



The work load put in by certain players is far too often ignored because of a couple of errors.



A try scorer missed a couple of vital tackles but because he scored does this get forgotten.... Several forwards didn't hold the ball in a tackle but because they were always in the thick off things does this mean they (the errors) can be "forgotten"?



Commentators were singing the praises of certain forwards for their work rate and fitness, but with a dropped ball/pass they didn't say the players were any poorer for doing that, they stated that they would be disappointed with the action. One poor pass, one poor kick, one loose tackle does not make a poor player.



The game was won, it was won the hard way and the opposition were nilled for 45 minutes. The hard 45 mins of the game. All of the side deserve praise for their resilience and teamwork for pulling off the win, not having individuals singled out for a couple of errors.





ps Menzie is injured

credit to the coach for the team talk at HT - his interview at the start of the second half was 100% positive and he told his players to go out there and take it as it was there for the taking...



great guy - great coach !

1. The crossbar at one end is below ground level at the other.



2. As Shorteagle says, injured. Calf muscle.

If he's that good, why didn't he say it at the start of the game ?

It's a fair slope Sanjunien - allegedly Gareth Hewer once tripped at the top end and rolled all the way to the other.

maybe give a little credit to Batley who looked impressive



surely you're not criticising Tubbs ?



sacre bleu !

thanks - that really is quiet a slope then ?



pity about Menzie, you looked weak on the left without him but muddled trough in the second half - hope you realise just how much work he gets through in a game

1 - Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous! Downhill 50-6 Uphill was the score last night.



2 - He's got a calf injury which could potentially keep him out for a few weeks, but hopefully not.

see what you mean AE - Mr Hewer is quite 'rotund' (putting it politely...)



best wishes to you and Mrs AE



please send my best wishes to Martin

Read next page of thread before replying to a question that's already been answered twice! D'oh!

Usain Bolt he's faster than lightening,He's very frightening,He doesnt throw long passes that's cos he's jamaican.



He can tackle and he can pass.

Thanks for the mention Sanjunien. I'm just recovering from last night's exersions, and that's just walking round the ground to get back out. Lol. It was well worth it though to see Scott Turner's brilliant never say die effort on that end. I'm hoping to attend a game quite near to your birthplace tomorrow (or later today actually) in Kings Lynn, my first game of rugby league in Norfolk if it works out. I'll let you know if I manage it.
