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.

Quote="chunkster"We were a long way from our best, and with what happened last year, im sure it was always in the back of the players minds that this was a potential banana skin . We needed to get a good start to settle our nerves ,but were caught on the back foot from the off with Thatto targeting China's wing with some good tactical kicking ,resulting in a good first try.In the first twenty minutes we played like we played the previus week against Rochdale ,are line speed and aggession was poor and Thatto took full advantage of that producing some good plays attacking from deep .We lacked vision at times selecting the wrong option on too many occasions putting ourselves under pressure. With a few more players back next week we should kick on and start to produce the stuff we saw at the end of last season, our fitness is excellent but we cannot let teams get two scores infront before we deceide to start playing, if we want a top four spot. Full credit to Thatto Heath and good luck to them in the conference this season .COYD'"
If we played above ourselves how would you explain the Phil Brown style b0110cking the players got on the pitch at the end of the game. Believe me you weren't the only ones that had an off day.

If you had had an on day and we had had on on day ... I am pretty sure that we would have beaten you by a bigger score.
Easy to say I know and no way of proving it.
So you having an off day and us having an off day made for a better game, if you were a neutral.
You lost, get over it.
