So I guess that means Jimmy Lowes is incharge of Wire for that game then?

Yes, as pointed out on the previous page. Three players out in total though: Morley and Westwood for Wire and Burgess for Bulls.

Unless they back up like quite a few players did last yr.

The game last year was a Friday which made it much easier to back up.

And the difference between the two sides on the scoresheet was?

The fact we were given kickable conversions and penalties (with one or two exceptions) and we have a player who can kick them. If he could do anything other than kick goals, it would be great. Sadly, in his current form, he can't. Sykes would have got at least 6 of the 8 I reckon.

The fact that we scored our tries under (nice one Beaver) or close to the sticks, and we were awarded three easily-kickable penalties.



Sorry...your point was...?

In answer:

a. The bulls were a better side and scored more tries + penalties.

b. The placement of the tries and penalties gave superior positional

opportunity for their convertion to further points.



Whilst I was never a goal kicked of significant note, and am now slightly overage for even senior rugby, and had a knee reconstruction 10 years ago, I still feel that I could have hobbled to make at least 6 of Deacon's simple conversions

Sykes would have kicked most of them anyway, and would have cut out the mistakes in Deacon's in game kicking. Although it was an improvement, Deacon's performance wasn't up to the standard we need.

Oh dear - you post something & then make a right plonker of yourself when Deacs & Langers go onto win the game for us against the Wildcats

Keep on posting about players matey

Amazing post that Tigs - before I saw your logo, I actually thought it was a sensible post





Keep off the booze matey cos it really is showing now

What are you on? Deacon didn't really win the game for us, scoring the tries under the sticks thus giving Deacon an easy conversion won it for us. Langley made a couple of good breaks, but, tbf it's about time.
