Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com
Agree with much of what has been said - we basically lack a little class and decision making. The number of speculative trying scoring passes we throw in 50/50 decisions is too high, stop panicking in the opponents 20.
Props are an issue as we lack the raw grunt to gain metres - how often does Crossley back into opponents? To be fair to York they were well coached and knew roles - far fewer basic errors and despite being out on their feet in the last 10/15 minutes managed go forward to get the drop goal. />
Referees and TJs will never see the offences a partisan crowd does which would be forgivable if the obvious and blatant were dealt with.

I'm sure he did, 'cos they were. And I think the kickers concerned would have thought that too, but these things happen. It's just unfortunate when it comes back to bite you on the bum. />
Incidentally, if JK actually said he wanted an 85 to 90 percent kicker in the championship I'd guess that was more like, "I would like to win the lottery" rather than something he truthfully expected to have in this division - quite a few SL clubs haven't got that standard kicker.

I mentioned before that Ryan Shaw would not be a bad signing for us if Ethan goes. Somebody else posted that although his goal kicking is first class they didn't rate him as a try scorer. He has a strike rate of 90 trys from 162 appearances. Not bad I would say?
Yes I was talking about goal kickers. York have beaten us 3 of the last 4 occasions. Even then it was because we were given a penalty after the hooter. If anything we're gimmees for York!!
