Well done lads. A WIN IS A WIN.

3 wins out of 4 matches in 2 weeks has got to be good news and give some hope.If there are 3 more wins out of the next 4 that will leave us well up the table.
Regarding the last 2 second half failures this contradicts the great second half they played against York in the first of the 4 matches. Maybe possession of the rugby ball is the deciding factor

I didn't go today. But the last 3 ways (including hunslet away) I think ball in hand is the main factor.

we look a good side with the ball and always threatening to score (one thing we didnt look capable of at the start of the campaign), but since that york game, attack has happened. i still get frightened when we are forced to defend.

would like to know peoples take on the final 20 minutes of todays game though from the supporters who we're there.

From my understanding there were no scored in the final 20 minutes. To go from 32-6 up to 32-28 up with 20 minutes left and still win, seems incredible. Surely the lads need some credit for holding out another 20 minutes after a initial CRUMBLE. We're the Dons under the cosh in the last 20? or was it even even or was we on attack?

Yes keeping hold of the ball would be a good idea and not dropping it!!

Inexperienced! Leaf & Lawton have played for years and have nt some of the young lads played at an high level in either amateur ranks or in Super League Academies.

Or is it a sign of a good team, that can play 40 minutes and still win?

Yes one of the positives was that we held on when the see-saw had clearly tipped in Gateshead's favour.....when that happens momentum would have usually indicated that Gateshead would go on and win.
But surprisingly we stopped them.
Well done Donny for that.
I just hope we don't hear any crap excuses from the coach......it's not just the player's fault when these things happen....he needs to stand up and take some responsibility and not just blame the players.
He would get a lot of respect if he did.

we played some great stuff 1st half and then scored 1st in the 2nd half then we put the cue on the rack. Credit to Gateshead as they never gave in and bombed a couple of good chances late on.

Another thing from me was why we constantly kept attacking left side in the second half? I felt sorry for Leafy and our winger as they were always calling for the ball and we had countless overlaps but we never pushed the ball out right. Maybe someone can come on and tell us why as i couldnt understand the tactics.

well done though to the lads.a wins a win !!! COYD

Regarding half backs when we lost Fawcet and Edwards injured at Rochdale Ely took over at scrum half and was more than good enough on the day.

Not pushing the ball right when we had numbers out there was something that a few of us picked up. Just couldn't see why we kept going where the defence had numbers?

Have nt you heard of safety in numbers!
