Great performance in defence tonight. Looked like a different team when we thought they had no chance. Credit where it's due. Fantastic. But why the change in performance? They soaked up loads of pressure, where they'd have folded the last few games. A really pleasing result.

This seasons being poor but I really enjoyed that win. Great credit to the team for that.

Myles Lawford, well done young one.

Great performance. Where did that come from?

Re: York away : Mon Aug 15, 2022 8:40 pm  

Some great defence towards the end there but boy did York throw that one away. Should have walked in down our right edge several times but some greedy play from Marsh and Hingano saved us.

Lawford showed plenty of promise, even if he did cost us a couple of tries. Games like that will definitely help his development as a player.

Seems the club/training ground was a much better place to be this week without our suspended half back, could he be the cause of our issues, had problems at his previous clubs.

Bit hard to say with us not being in camp but I think your comment takes away from the effort the lads had tonight.

I’ll be the first to say I don’t like the Dunning appointment. But I will say fair play to him. He’s took a side losing 4 on the bounce and helped coach a very good win against Worky and now a great win at York.

Take nothing away from the lads. The second efforts that were on show was great.

As much as the result is good it’s the performance that does it for me. I now look forward to next week against Whitehaven!

I’m not sure I’d agree the Workington performance was ‘very good’ but certainly can’t fault tonight’s result. Can’t comment on the game because I didn’t watch it but I certainly didn’t expect them to get any points from it.

Gives a little glimmer of hope for 2023 in a season that I can’t wait to forget.

Without knowing for sure he does seem to be the unsettling influence. So much talent going to waste if that's the case.

Great goal line defence in the second half. I thought they were scrappy scores due to the rain. Even the York end to end was off the back of a break caused after someone slipped.

Fact is we performed better on the night and deserved it. Really pleased with that.

Pauli Pauli should have been a red every day of the week- Ford’s had a hissy fit about how the refs unfairly pick on him.

Re: York away : Tue Aug 16, 2022 7:18 am  

Fair play to Dunning and the squad on last nights win. We could have folded and allowed York to win the game but we showed great grit and determination to keep them out and take home the win.

Credit to MD for getting that performance out of the boys. You could see he was very proud of that performance in his post-match interview. James Ford on the other hand is delusional with his comments on Pauli. He gets pinged for stuff every week because he’s dirty begger. He plays very aggressively and when you base your game using those tactics you’re going to be a target. No sympathy for them as he should have been sent from the field for his hit earlier in the game.

We roll into the Whitehaven game confident. I hope the squad don’t fall into the trap of being complacent. Another decent performance and hopefully another win!
