Vila has picked up an Injury.

York are eating into the points diff in a big way this aft.

Re: Crusaders (A) : Sat Aug 11, 2018 3:03 pm  

68-0 at half time.

We’ll have to aim to go and get a few points ourselves.

Re: Crusaders (A) : Sat Aug 11, 2018 3:42 pm  

They’ve cancelled out the points difference today. Thank god we play them and Hemel towards the end of the season.

Re: Crusaders (A) : Sat Aug 11, 2018 5:24 pm  

130 points is what I meant a week ago when I said I felt that "at this time" York seem to be more fluent than us. We are still struggling for large parts of the game and not wiping the floor with teams. Luckily, we do have two so called easy ones near the end but how many on here think we can do a 130-0 score in those games.
I can still see us finishing second which would be disappointing and leave us with a couple of very nervy games playing knockout rugby. Hopefully it will still work out fine and there is nothing to worry about.
I can't even think about being in the knockouts and then having a mare of a game....surely not. Us Bulls fans have been through far too much to have that served to us.

130-0 To me this is just not right. It's not doing anyone any good (although York might disagree). Raiders are obviously not up to this level of rugby. They only put out 14 players today, this may be down to injuries but I fear it's down to players being pi**ed off with being humiliated in this way week after week. These results could ruin a promising club.

Re: Crusaders (A) : Sat Aug 11, 2018 6:33 pm  

I heard they were having trouble with players no showing at training and on game day which is dreadful if true.

Re: Crusaders (A) : Sat Aug 11, 2018 6:53 pm  

Yes, their team sheet shows only having 14 players today which lets be honest is not good or fair to anyone. You would hope (with no confidence) that the RFL are aware and prepared, there has to be concerns that they won't be able to field a side at some stage.

Sorry but this post is ridiculous. How can you possibly know how many we would have put past West Wales today?
I'd say it's arrogant and borderline disrespectful to be expecting us to 'wipe the floor' with the sides we face week in week out.

Re: Crusaders (A) : Sat Aug 11, 2018 8:40 pm  

There's only a 38 point difference between us and York.

Given that we beat 7th place Whitehaven 46-0 last week and that we're playing 10th placed Crusaders tomorrow, I wouldn't worry to much about us overcoming that difference and regaining our place at the top of the table come Sunday night
