Well you wouldnt have thought we were as much in that game as we were at times given the scoreline. More compsure and the game could have been a lot tighter or maybe even a different result. Ridyard was superb with his field kicking and really made us play out from within our 10 all game. Yet we just stick hopeful bombs up and hope for the best. Keyes kicking game will be massive when back, I know the Keighley reserves are no more than an amateur side but saw more variation in his kicking in that game than our whole team all season.
Also Dalton Grant needs dropping. There must be something about Rickett that Kear sees in training that is holding him back. He is a strong kid with good size and pace, and he scores a lot of try's albeit at reserve level. I am sure the kid is chomping at the bit to play first team and I am sure he would do a cracking job after watcing him a few times at Dudley Hill, especially his game against Wigan last year that the reserves wn. Wigan had a lot with first team experience in and he scored a cracking hat trick.
Lets hope we see a marked improvement this week. We need a win to keep in with having a chance of the 5,
