Don't think it does any decent ale, although I may be wrong. Obviously there's the 'spoons in the town centre and they have the ale festival on at the moment.

Is this the HUGE second rower we have in the under 20's team?

Yes, have a look at his profile on Reds squad site

Pic doesn't do him justice IMO as he's had to squash into the frame

Also for those on small monitors the dropdown menu might not reach down far enough - it disappeared off the bottom of the page for me and I was unable to get to him profile page unless I F11ed to maximise browser size.

Absolute dire 1st half.

To a man - Shocking.
No desire, no enthusiasm against a side that were there for the taking - no excuse for that in my book.
We only had to raise our game slightly at the start of the second half or after we scored the second try and we would have won.
Very frustrating perfomance, and yet the players didn't appear to be frustrated at all. No stand out performances, and some of our young talents appear to have lost their spark, wouldn't want to pin the blame on anyone in particular, it was just embarrassing.
Two poor sides, one of which couldn't be bothered.

Possibly the worst game I've seen this season from two poor sides. We were outdone by their forwards and with a smart kicking game, that was all they needed to run out as deserved winners.

We made hardly any metres from our own guys up front. Their defence was poor out wide though and when we finally figured out that one man rugby wasn't going to work and spread the ball, we looked like we were going to make a line break every time we moved it wide. Disappointing as if this tie was about 2 weeks earlier we probably would have taken them apart.

Warrington in Edinburgh next then...

Most disappointed I've been this season - getting beaten by the Pies (or more accurately Pat Richards!) after putting in a good defensive performance I can live with, but today was dire - looked like no-one actually wanted to be there. Like others have said, having pulled back a try right on half time (very unlike us!!) you expected us to come out and really kick on at the start of the second half - but nothing.
Sorry Reds that was dreadful

Salford very poor.....................yet couldnt beat the worst Castleford side I have seen in 45 years spectating. Axe looming surely.

As for Malcolm. Hes been a great servant and still tackles his heart out but from dummy half he is not Championship 1 class yet they keep him on for 60 minutes dictating our turgid and boring one man rugby tactics. Matty came on and sparked things up but he should have been on after 20 mins.

LuLu & Stuart Littler should be sent out on loan immediately - lets see the kids come in please and show what they can do. No Relegation threat so its barmy keeping the old `uns in week in week out.

As for Shaun Mc. I am just so fed up with his ultra predictable tactics. We are supposed to be in the 'Entertainment' business and for the first time in years have some talent in the backs - Holdsworth, Matty, Ratch, Gibson, Tyrer etc., yet SMc still feels 5 drives and a kick is the way to go. Surely we are better than that and unless swift changes are made I feel for the club and its future.
