The game for me felt a bit strange by that i mean it didn't at the end feel like we had won by a margin 34-10. We had a very good spell from about 20 minutes in to half time when they had a player in the bin and that pretty much won us the game. And i would praise our defence we had 2 players in the bin during the game which would have taken some juice out of the tank and combined that with more errors probably led to us scoring less points in the second half. Keighley do play a similar style of play to us they are not the biggest side and like to shift the ball early and they do have some speed out wide there right hand side in particular caused us some problems. I do not know if Doro was injured for this match but if he was dropped then i do not understand that decision. Overall happy with a good win we seem to be playing a lot more like a team now and hopefully the injuries are not too bad as we head into our double header with Barrow.

I wonder if the coaches feel that Doro is young fora prop and don't want to burn him out by over playing him. That's why we have a squad.

Doro is still young for a prop but lets be fair he as been in and out of the side so far this season so i do not feel burn out is anywhere near to being a problem for him. And at the start of a season when you are looking to hit the ground running you pick your strongest side which he would be in instead of Maher for me.

Well that makes it 4 from 4 at home and that's not to be argued with. If it had been 6v6 at half time and ended 34v10 it would have felt a lot better than the other way round but there you go. Salty was tremendous again and Keyes showed glimpses of last seasons form so that is a big plus. We are settling in nicely now and when we really gel for 80 minutes you get the feeling someone is going to get a reyt hammering. Rat & Ratchet shuddersfield, White Rat 4.0% Mmm! Up The Fax! :DRUNK:
