...and if we don't....we still won't have beaten a Championship side......reality bites.

We will win though, but it sounds like Durbin will have to get used to hiding out on the wing in defence

you'll find most half backs do that at times especially when they are targetted it shifts the oponents point of attack and allows the other team a better defensive pattern as the attacking team has to find another 'target' and when they think they have exploited that the coach changes it again and moves the jalf back, which is exactly what happened at Swinton.

Wasn't having a pop at the lad just forgot to add the smilie to my post.

well i stand corrected on the qualification point, still reckon we'll beat haven, and lets be honest folks, do we deserve to go into next round if we can't beat haven at home, but i have comfidence in our boys, i am sure we'll see a top showing from them and ultimately qualification.

Well if the RFL want to spice it up, they could give us J Childs as the ref

Don't even think that! Mind you, he might be a 'homer'

Now if it is him Derick you ll have wished it on us. I see he was at it again at Fax, giving loads of pens. Poor Barrow this time.

James Child, saw him at Fev and he had a shocker, he also refed Widnes vs Oldham and had a poor game. He certainly knows how to ruin a rugby match.








If James Child is the ref in this game , its no wonder 19 penalties so far. He was terrible at Widnes , and apparently as bad at Fev . The man should not be a referee , he has no idea what to do.

Did someone say Hobson was MOM - that surely must be a tongue in cheek comment, he is lazy, he hides from the action and couldn't wait to be brought off after 25 mins - he was looking at the bench constantly after 15 mins waiting for the nod for his rest. His work rate must improve.

Allthe Watto knockers were at at again Sunday, near us.
I thought he played well. my only moan is when he kicked for touch, when we had pens he didnt get many yards.
