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?

Worrincy made the tackle, something had been said to him in the ruck, didn't like it, dewbury man played the ball, Worrincy had words at first marker, and pushed him then more words were said to each other, Dewsbury man walked away with Worrincy going after him and then Worrincy slapped him on the back of the head then it started a scuffle, and when Scruton came in the numpty was nowhere to be seen. Have to say though i enjoyed LE'strange's ironic clapping at the Dewsbury man who layed a massive hit on Platt and started shouting at him on the deck clapping his hands only to be penalised so LE'strange picks him out and starts giving him a round of applause for giving away a penalty with the biggest smile on his face! Loved it.

Ha, to here we go or cha cha cha?

Good game and all the boxes ticked, clean sheet, good run out for the kids and injury free (hopefully).

I believe Worrincy's reaction was against something that was said to him rather than the tackle, I just hope it wasn't a racist remark. Either way he seemed fired up and had a good game.

Hall was my man of the match and he's getting better every game, Scruton was also on top form and between them they kept Dewsbury's two 'high tackling fatties' under control.

In the tune of here we go. The whole stand got it going. Have to say the chant of the day was "What's it like to see a crowd" pushed close by "You only sing when you're losing".

Nice to see some aggression from Worrincy, he seemed to channel in the right way too! Wish the opposition would wind him up a bit more often, although he certainly looked very upset by whatever was said to him.

I was pleased with the young guys, I think people like Addy and Olbison could step in for short spells this year if needed during the season. McNamara will be pleased that we kept them scoreless, which is a tremendous effort regardless of the opposition.

Not obvious injuries picked up either, so a good afternoons work all round. I always enjoy going to Dewsbury, I hope the club give serious consideration as a temporary home if we ever see some diggers at Odsal.

In the tackle, as Worrincey got up he looked to have his forearm across the tackled guy's neck and pushed himself up from there, I thought. Dunno if that agitated the other guy a bit?

Hall today was "The Rig" we'd heard about. Him and Scrutes will have left a few sore bodies behind today, I think?

Worrincy screamed in a slightly high pitched girly voice 'what?' so I think it is safe to assume his offence was due to what was said.

Indeed. I was merely suggesting a possible cause for whatever was said.

"girly"?

Well it was a bit!!

I think that it was something that was said, the players seemed to be passing things along the line and as soon as it got to one of them (Hall i think) they went straight over to the ref. Worrincy also pointed things out to the ref and was making himself very known with whatever was said. The tackles that went into that guy after as well said a lot. If it was anything along the lines of a racist comment then I think the club should make a matter out of it and make the point that it isn't something we accept in our game.

What ever it was Lockwood said to Worrincy, assuming some form of racial abuse it certainly sparked him up, hopefully he will keep his game at that level now and improve on it!
All credit to Dewsbury for keeping going and not letting their heads drop despite them getting niggly in the last 15 mins. If this kickstarts their season well and good. They made the Bulls play for the full 80 and in some ways didn't deserve to be nilled.
But looking forward to cheering Robbie and Booing Slackjaw in the next round!

Maybe Lockwood called Worrincy "girly"...?

Perhaps a bit unfair on the Dewsbury player to assume the comment was racist.

Guess we'll never know what was said mate, whatever happened it didn't go down well!

Yeah Hall is turning into a cracking player, his defense is solid and as his confidence is growing he's getting better and better going forward, it's nice to have a forward with a good offload as well. As you say there'll be a few sore Dewsbury players tomorrow.

Anyone else think Crookes went really well, especially in the 2nd half?


He's fast, showed good strength at times and also has a decent step. Hopefully should get some more game time if one of the backs loses form.

I was impressed with all of the youngsters today and they certainly didn't look out of their depth.

I was impressed with him as well. He did well against Wigan too. In fairness, Dewsbury were not exactly SL standard (except for second half effort and enthusiasm, where they set a cracking example). But, as you say, all the younger lads went really well. I very much liked the look of young Addy, and Olbison looked like he would not look out of place with more time in the first team too.

All those who slate Macca might want to reflect a bit on some of the upcoming talent we saw today, and consider whether we are maybe seeing his youth development programme really starting to bear serious fruit?

No. I think he's fairly average, he lacks imagination and is never looking for support players to pass to.

Out of all the youngsters I have seen play he has impressed me the least.

Here here to that. Whitehead has just been immense all year in my eyes, never has looked out of place. Need to tie him down to a long-term contract, same with Scruton. Both of these have been stand-out performers for me this season, really kicked on from last year.

And mine. The lad is likely on only a very modest contract package. We need to keep this guy. Young player of the year contender, maybe? And if Scruton does not get an England call-up then something is badly wrong IMO.
