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.

At one point the pack was :

Scruton
Wagga
Kopzcak
Olbison
Whitehead
Addy


Thats an extremely young pack right there and they handled it superbly.


I think it was a great job to keep them nilled and Macca will be very happy.


I was surprised Crossley didn't get in though, must be nailed on to leave at the end of this season then?

Have to say Worrincy looked alot stronger and more capable today, good work winning the ball from the Dewsbury scrum. Was also good to see Platt make some good yards. Loved it seeing Platt getting involved on the Worrincy chant clapping along. Glenn Hall was my man of the match, the run in the first half where he cleared out 2 defenders in 1 tackle was brilliant, and he always caused the defence problems and he had some good footwork. Scruton was a tough as ever, 1 bone shuddering hit. Nice run out for the guys and hopefully carry on the defensive effort next week into Hull KR.

How does the Worrincy chant go?

What happened with Worrincey scapping? I rather boringly was watching the game. Did someone say something to him? He was rather cross though.

An enjoyable game. Thought the "young uns" stood up really well today. Whitehead and Olbison looked strong and I was impressed by Addy.

The Dewsbury 33 was a very angry young man wasn't he? He did seem to go missing a bit when Scruton and co were on the hunt though...

Me too - did not see exactly what sparked it off, even though it was right in front of me. But I saw Worrincey being a bit "robust" in the tackle immediately before, and assumed that that was the trigger?

And af - "worr-in-CEE, worr-in-CEE worr-in-CEE...worr-in-CEE, worr-in-CEE worr-in-CEE-EEE..." was the one I think?
