Trust me to put a curse on everything!

Very surprised Batley beat Bradford today. In theory, that adds to the strength of the Dons performance last weekend.

Let's hope the second half brings some better cheer.

We must be the champions of after the Lord Mayors show. Its in our DNA that when favourites, or expected to win, call it what you will, we pull off a shocker. Well done to Fax they obviously wanted it more.

It's a funny old game. Barrow beat Featherstone 25-12. Just goes to show what can happen in this league. There are no bad sides, just ones that don't play to their best all the time.

Be interested to hear what K&C thought of the match. Did we get the basics wrong again? Did we miss Connor Robinson?

York 22-0 down at Swinton came back to win 22-30.
We are still 7th but could do with a win next week at home to Haven.

Yes, things are looking quite tight. Dewsbury are bottom with 2 points, the next seven sides are separated by two points with us at the top of that list.

By far the worst performance of the season, the tries conceded especially the first 2 were amateurish and in attack we looked very predictable and slow, Fax didn't have to do anything special but their speed at the play of the ball was far superior than ours. We were poor and hope it was just a one off, 2 plus points were a good travelling support and Luke briscoe who was our best player by far. Even when we were 28-0 down horne was still sat with his headset on miles away in the other stand, get in the bloody dugout fella and let your players know your there!!!
