[quote="Tony Fax":r2e7hwb6]You'd be surprised at the "power of the poster", faxcar! There's a poster stuck on my local's wall when they decide to hold a pub quiz. It's not the same day every week so it's not as though the attendees turn up automatically .... and it must work because quz nights are well attended. Then our local annual rush bearing festival is advertised through banners and leaflets. And it's packed. Then we have the regional galas getting plugged by banners, etc ....... how else would people know? I could go on! (But I won't )[/quote:r2e7hwb6] Ah yes. Silly me and the club not seeing the connection and relevance of your locals quiz night and rush bearing festival and how it relates to the current state of rugby league but I guess others will have missed it as well. How come you haven’t put one up for the Panthers then if there so effective, surely you must have a printer and being in full agreement follow the comments and advice on here about looking outside the box and being so easy to do……..?

[quote="Listenup94":g4byac97]So my observations on the three games is that the pack look as good as ever , Douglas promises to be the prop we've been crying out for , hird looks solid , calcott carrying on from were he left off, dixon did 12 mins then another short stint but with match fitness looks another strong forward . Hanson is getting better and defensively looks than keyes , whilst having woody at 6 may surrender some attacking flair him and hanson are better in d than jouffret and keyes . With tangata and Davies to bolster the pack and some additions from saints there's bags of potential . Main thing for me is the discipline is alot better, combined resilience in d where games are nip n tuck bodes well for the future.[/quote:g4byac97] My observations on the three games is that the team of players looks better than ever. And. My observations on the team of the three moaning bleeders on here are as bad as ever.

Frustrating thing was that if Hanson takes that pass clean then he goes the length of the field and puts us in front with about 15 minutes to go and in the position where a shock could have been a real possibility. The ref missing that Catalans knock hurt as well but who would have thought a 0-0 half time score and that sort of showing. Kyle Eastmond must be delighted with that. To add to that we were really quite impressive in poor ball situations and made a lot of yards against such a good team has to be a good sign for the championship season.

Apparently a loose flyer blew into Hanson’s face as he made the break otherwise it could have been game on.

That was a cracking performance from the lads full of desire and commitment. We put some nice moves on in attack too which we just couldn't nail a couple of moments from Hanson when he just cant reel in the intercept and he makes a break and kicks the ball away instead of taking the tackle close but no cigar. The ref missed a knock on by them when we was attacking there line which at that stage of the game we really could of done with. All in all that should give us plenty to look forward to for the season ahead roll on Sheffield.
