Very impressed with the lads today, and in conditions that don't suit us. Agree with Hudd-Shay with Robinson as MOM and Handforth did well to command us round the pitch, but again very impressed all round.



Not impressed with Fozzard though, needs to grow up!

Dews offered little to test. BUT, you looked more than comfortable all afternoon. I thought you'd lose before the game. From the outset the result was never in doubt. As I've just said to my mate, underestimate Fax at our peril!

Fax looked organised. Dews?? Dear me.. the swear filter prevents my preferred descriptor!!!

Thought we played with an intenisty that I haven't seen for a while, piling into the Dewsbury pack like thier lives depended on it.



KH looks to have really got in the players heads in a positive way.



Bowman and handford looked the part today but hats off to Robinson he never took a backward step all afternoon.

You can never tell after one game can you. As we were driving home we were discussing, were we good?, were Dewsbury bad?

After our "friendlies " I was quite despondent, now? not sure, think it will be a difficult year. But, great fun.

One thing for sure terrific team spirit.

I just enjoyed watching a game!!! Bloody weather!

It was great to see our lot patting each other on the back and the enthusiasm after a good play, it's something we've been missing for a long time I think.

We have been a one man team (Penky) for far too long and today has confirmed a rosy future IMO. Calland's rotation of three hookers worked for half a season but he tried to flog it for too long.



Our forwards were immense today however the options displayed by Bowman and Penky (supported by Handforth on the positioning side), particularly on such an awful pitch were terrific - THEN we introduce Thackeray who to me looks like a class act in a blue shirt!



Good stuff folks - can't fault anything I saw at all today. The ribbing of Fozzard was great!

Well played fax. Defence awesome. Worth entrence cost just to see that tackle by Jim on Fozzard.

nobody had a bad game, great start to season. Hoped we would win but did not expect to be so easy. Pitty dulls won but hey ho main thing is fax did the business

To be fair, after that first tackle Fozzard, didn't hide, he asked for the ball three times in succession, pity however that the last time he ended up doing his war dance and looking an idiot. I said after that, "wait for the cheap shot" and it came. Penky and him on report. my opinion, no case to answer for both of them. After all it's Rugby League. It's a hard game.

Really encouraging today.



The kicking game, particularly from Handforth, was first class and made for some excellent field position.



The defence was superb also and the team spirit clearly evident.



Fax good, or Dews poor? A bit of both I think!



A great start!
