Are they that huge the car parks? They were pretty full for the friendlies.

I'd say there was a fair chance they'll be full around 30 mins before kick off, it isn't that big and it was pretty full for the friendly. Think I might try some on street parking today, could be a bit of a nightmare getting out of that car park!

For the bigger games dont they open a pitch at the side to park on?

Well I saw something about Barrow fans saying they were up for a giant killing. guess they're gonna be happy bunnies over that way

Good performance today. There was a big change in the second half after Orford and Menzies went off though. I hope we can keep them injury free.

I agree, but no Sykes, Lynch or Nero either.

I was very impressed with Addy, Olbison & Crookes. They all seem to be good defenders aswell, which is often a problem for youngsters. Addy looked very comfortable and he's a goalkicker too

. Crookes made great metres in the first half.

It will be easier to just give the players marks out of 10 today, as I don't think anyone had a bad game.

Halley 7
Crookes 8
Menzies 9
Platt 7
Sheriffe 7
Kearney 9 -what a try!!
Orford 9
Scruton 8
Wagga 7
Hall 9
Worrincy 7 (better defence and used his size better, great fend in 1st half)
Whitehead 9 - Apart from the bad pass to Menzies he was awesome
Langers 8

L'Estrange 8 Went okay in the halves and his try saving tackle on the winger was good
Olbison 8 I was impressed
Addy 8 See above
Kopzcak 8 Went well today, made some good metres.

Could see the difference second half after Orford and Beaver were replaced, although I thought Dewsbury had a strong second half anyway and seemed fresh and eager right till the end. The second half was quite entertaining I thought, especially when it got "tasty" as Bonehead would say? Their coach will be heartened by much of what he saw from them - just we were that bit quicker and stronger all the time. Worlord must have been surprised to suddenly become a crowd hero! Although not with the home crowd...

Addy's goal kicking was spot on - in fact he looked good generally as did Crookes and Olbison. But a pretty convincing win, and Macca will be pleased we never let them cross our line. Good chats with the home fans too.
