That was bizarre, to try a kick thru and do is so badly you get a 1 takes some doing.

Couldn't make it today, I saw that they were on one point and wondered what had gone on.

Is that a worse kick that Dixon at Cas a few years ago? That's the worst kick I've ever seen, still makes me laugh.

This was worse, 10 yards out, attempted grubber on the last and the lad spooned it side-footed over the bar. Rovers players were getting ready for a 20m re-start while the crowd just belly laughed. At 18-1 they had another set near our line and the East Stand were urging another 1 pointer.

Fantastic. The actual games are pretty dull in this league but the potential for comedy is second to none.

If it's comedy you're after a compilation of our attempts at catching kick-offs should do the trick.

Keiron Dixon squire, playing for us.

2015 (I think) at your gaff.

For some reason Dixon decides to go for what appeared to be a 40 / 20, only it was pretty windy and we lost about twenty metres as he managed to shank it behind him.

It was, as my Indian relative's would say "Super Terrible".

As a wtf moment, it was trumped by this infamous assist by poor Shaun Ainscough. http://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/n ... sts-batley At least the swinton player scored a point! It looks to like he fails to make a decision between a grubber and crossfield kick and... well, the referee got it spot on IMO; it was a drop goal.

Another piece of comedy gold came last week at Oldham, where their winger ( who mistakenly thought a touch kick could be a 40/20) tapped the ball back inside for the waiting Joe Wardill to score the easiest try in the history of the game.
