Plenty of effort and we kept going which is a positive we lose the forwards battle on that small pitch almost every home game giving the backs no platform to perform and it goes downhill from there

I'd love a bonus point next week but tbh I'm more bothered about the Crusaders game the week after which is a must win. Full credit to fax on a great win and performance from them

Cheers for that. You've got to do summat about your ground though. It's the first time i have been there and with the best will in the world, it's a disgrace. All the best for the rest of the season.

No it's not the best we don't like it either but there was no other choice we tried everywhere Owlerton or nothing, hopefully the new ground will come good things are looking very promising on that front.

Again well done on the win

We are certainly in a relegation battle now Charlie. I'd be over the moon with a bonus point at LSV but I can't see it happening you've got a top top side. Personally I'm simply looking at the week after v Crusaders at home it's a six pointer, I'm gutted it's come to this but what's done is done and all we can do is back the boys this week next week and for the remainder of the season

I agree with all of that, losing experienced forwards Liam Higgins, Alex Szostak and Joe Hirst and Ben Jones suffering injuries has weakened us a lot, just when we need to be winning the forward battle at home. Eddie, Jack, Tom and Will all look decent prospects but they aren't the finished article. We aren't getting the quick play the balls and offloads which give the half backs time to build more constructive attacks, and frustration with always being on the back foot seems to be leading to some poor decision making at times. Confidence must also be taking a knock. Lets hope we can put together a decent enough performance on Sunday to give some impetus for the rest of the season.
