[quote="Sheepridge Giant"]Should have had the game won after the first 20 odd minutes,we had the chances,some incorrect decision making at crucial times,plus when Watkins failed to take that offload from Jerry,just overran the ball by a split second with the line wide open.

Overall thought the team played good,can't afford to come up with basic errors though.Close contest in the end,but like Bennett said just lacked the 'smarts' at the key moments.I'll give credit to Watkins he kept a close watch on Kata who hardly featured going forward.

Maybe two players who might be changed by WB are Sarginson and Bateman. Sarg likes to step inside rather than look to bring the winger into the game.Bateman got through a lot of work but his lack of size means he finds it hard to win the ground at this level.[/quote
I would change Gayle who did very little and seemed out of his depth

Well done RLR!
If just half of us that go can encourage two new people that would be 10,000!
I've convinced an old watcher to return- he's now got a missus and kid and they are coming too!

I know more fans = more income, but my motivation for getting early season tickets was to show ken Davy support.

Goodness knows what will happen if he gets fed up with us.

Unless I win the lottery hope he has made some legacy plans too.

saw one poster at the game promoting the giants season ticket offer

maybe they werent allowed by the rfl to get things out and about.... maybe our marketing team is just rubbish!

24k crowd ... if you sold 5 new ones off the back of the game that would be better than 0
