Ta. I've been checking Facebook and Twitter all morning and no one was mentioning it.

We played today? WTF? I assumed it was tomorrow. We never play on Saturday. I guess I’m not going tomorrow then.

Weird game. Thought we started well enough with some nice moves bringing Pickersgill into the line. Seemed to turn scrappy when Garside, Flanagan and Crossley went off. 3 soft tries conceded. Need to be much better next week.

Frustrating from the ref. The league we're in we have to put up with errors as they are new officials learning the game. No problem with him making general errors to an extent. But the amount of tip tackles that went unpunished (was it 3 on bounce before he just decided to put them on a warning?) not good enough. Are we waiting until someone breaks their neck before the referees realise they can use their cards!

Onto next week.

I agree with what Bull Mania is saying. Chizzy must have put his kicking boots on e bay. Onwards and upwards. C.O.Y.B.

Please, does anyone know the results from the Ladies match? Owing to 4 big quakes here, no internet for last 3 days, thanks

My Apologies, just been informed they don't play until Sunday. As I say, internet very sketchy here. Thanks

Looking at the result I guess it's a decent result, though I was (maybe unfairly?) underwhelmed throughout.

As BM said, we started pretty strongly, but my overall impression was that, there was a lot of effort, and we kept the score ticking over quite nicely but we never really seemed to 'get going' and then giving away those really soft tries left a definite feeling that the performance overall was generally 'scratchy'. I thought all our props were excellent, Chissy was dashing around as usual, Ethan Ryan's finishing has finally hit the levels of last season (maybe he was just getting better service?) also young Milnes showed good touches and was worth his place. There were no really poor performances, except maybe Chissy's goal kicking..

pretty much agree with that. thought we were pretty flat all match. Didn't do much obviously wrong but didn't really put them to sword either. pretty soft defending for their tries too. A better opposition would have caused us problems.

Yes pretty flat performance yesterday, very stop start and hit and miss
Thought the big prop for them ran very well, although he got a bit niggly towards the end.

Also my lads face is a right mess, never seen him with so many bruises, he looks like he’s been mugged and beaten up
