Apparently this was an 'acid test' game that was meant to give us a good idea of what kind of a footie team that we are this year. Well if that's the case then I think that we can all take heart that this season appears to be heading in the right direction. OMG someone else who's heading in the right direction this week is OMJ with a decent dozen. The rest of us will hope for better times next week as follows,

Wins are tough against Salford in the 'El CasaRico' Derby it seems, particularly against a team no doubt buoyed by their coach spurning the chance of commuting to East Yorkshire. Pride of prediction place goes to Sir Adrian Morley with 10 'traitor' inspired points, the rest of us need to up our game next week and I'm sure that we all hope for a 'faithful ' result...(not an Old One to be clear!!)

I've dropped off the standings list, have I been disqualified for thinking we would win comfortably on Saturday?
Should be on 60 points with Walter
Apologies CW8 order is hopefully restored.
No idea what happened to my editing finger, but if thinking we would win on Saturday was the criteria for losing your place in the Standings then there wouldn't be much of a competition this week.
