I feel a bit sorry for Donno there. Yes he caught Adam in the face with his boot, but there's no way he would do something like that on purpose (to an ex team mate!).
As it stands he could end up with a longer ban than the house who was throwing punches.

Was it just the Tannoy and Speakers or were you scouting for better players?

shame we have to wait so long for our much anticipated return match at our place

You're out of the cup, get over it.

I'm quite fond of our hole in the ground too. In the same way you have grudging respect for your mother-in-law. Not a patch on yours sadly.

I wasn't even going to bother showing you up, but am at a loose end, having a few minutes with a coffee, so unfortunately for you, I will.



Oops!

Poor lad.

You know Daryl's mother-in-law?

Odsal is a lovely ground in summer. In fact, in the sunshine it's the best place to watch rugby on earth - and fortunately, it NEVER ever rains in an English summer does it?

Biblically.

She's that old?

I'm not saying she's old testament but she has 666 on the back of her head.

And I'd know....

Age is just a number, it never stopped Methuselah from begatting. Well eventually, but you catch my drift. Speaking of numbers I once lived with a Sheila in Wollongong, and she liked to say "666, it's all you Poms ever think about". I never did find out what she was on about. It may be some Australian code.

Well, I'm not surprised, Satanism is a big thing over in Oz. At least I assume it is as my Aussie friends keep telling me they've got the Anti-Christ for a PM

Watched video on Bulls TV: DEFINATELY a punch - now charged so another team will benefit; 2 on 1 in tackle so no try; thought Addey knocked on before our last try. We lost but put up very decent show and really got crowd involved.

After watching bulls tv the punch looked more a push into face and the ball steal looked simultaneouse !

No ban for Walker.

The ball steal could've gone either way. I said at the time I would've been livid if you had scored that one. Ref was shocking, watched the tries on SL show and both sides could/should have had tries chalked off for forward passes/knock-ons.

What's the view on a second hooker?

In the absence of a scrum half and with O'brien being young and targeted we lacked game management. Our last tackle plays were poor. At one stage we kicked for Henry to challenge Mantellato ffs. Someone who can come on and pick up our line speed in defence and kick out of dummy half. Are all our hookers/halves a bit young?

I'm not sure if this is the issue but we seem to lack a bit of leadership/game sense.

Having said that I agree with Pitts in the T and A who said we'll get better. I think our pack is showing real signs of coming together.

Certainly need to know more about our young hookers but presumably the management team do know more about them. Starting one of them at Donny would make sense to me with AOB on bench. This is probably where we miss Siejka and the things he did.I don't have any concerns about any of the forwards and we've still got more to add. I think the balance is coming together and we just continue to make steady progress without actually switching off and shutting down ...... that does seem to be difficult sometimes. I can't see we'll be needing Matty B as a forward.

If anybody has earned a rest, it's AOB

So 2 HKR players from our cup game on Sunday Adam Walker (striking) and James Donaldson (Kicking) fined and 1 match ban , utter incompetence from the ref and linesmen not to have taken stronger action during the match, looks like win by any means from some clubs
