To be honest I quite appreciated the honest assessment. I was planning on going fairly 'lightweight' in clothing considering it is meant to be a modern covered stadia. Hopefully I'll keep my feet dry now with some waterproof boots!

Thing is its not as bad as she says , but hey ho see you later COYS!!

I guess that depends on your experience. The last time it was blowing a gale and raining hard, I got soaked - and that was on the concourse waiting to be served a coffee! There were some big puddles on the concourse and the smooth (indoor like) concrete gets very wet. It is also wet for about half way up the standing terraces when the wind is blowing.

I'm in the West Stand and so enter the stadium at where it can be worst.

However, if the wind is blowing in another direction the concourses will be dry, just as I said in my original post.

You'll be in the South Stand, which is the posh stand. It has walls! And rooms with heating in them! Stuff like that. You'll be nice and cosy in there. Apparently the press box is very posh.

Is the match on the radio anywhere guys?

Should be on bcb. Apparently no Kearney with platt at FB but Langley is playing. Whitehead taking Platts spot.

Langley starting at Prop. Kearney out. 1 in 1 out yet again!

Am listening on yorkshire radio plus think its on bbc radio leeds.

Not a good second half. Gale not finding touch put nail in coffin. 22 -0 down, very likely a defeat, 28-0 down, it becomes damage limitation.

Completely unacceptable not finding touch and it doesn't sound like hime or Jefferies have got off the bus.

Got to regoup at half time and make sure it doesn't become a 50+ scoreline.

Sounds like we've talked our way into a thrashing with all the defeatist talk about short turnaround times

Didn't expect a win but this is embarrassing. Not acceptable.

Just got home to see the score. Embarrassing.

Ooops.

50-0 so the work we put in on defence didn't work then did it? Maybe we should concentrate on attack and work on the theory that we just score more tries than our opponents!

Having said that...

With a 4 day turn-around and nearly half the team out injured i don't suppose we could have expected anything different? we could do with the Giants beating Hull KR on Monday to keep us in contention in the 8.

I expected to get beat for those reasons, but 54 0 ?

Never acceptable.

What the hell just happened?

Pretty much agree with that. Combination of short turn round and injuries realistically made this game a bridge too far. That said I hoped we would keep margin a bit lower.
Two week rest now to regroup and hopefully get a few bodies back. If there isn't a noticeable improvement next match, especially defensively, then we need to start worrying IMO.

What's gales excuse for his kicking game?

Heather mills could have split the fb and winger more times than we did today.

Thats not an excuse in my book for a drubbing like that.

Apparently he's not fit and still learning the plays

missed the game tonight, just looked at score on t'internet....Has someone been messing around on sky sports news website or did it really say 54-0....bleeding nora, what happened?

No excuses, but surely a short turn around and players out and dropping like flies must be reasons to try and explain why. They must be knackered, Langley wasn't even in the squad and yet turned up so he obviously wasn't fit. We really need some numbers back, but Duffy said nobody is back for at least a month.

Having said that, Luke Gale, he doesn't look anywhere near good enough.

Well not many believed me over on the entertainers when I called it. But I did think Bradford would score a few which is probably why the Saints scoreline crept higher than expected.

Gale has 1 good game and a bunch of poor ones. Like Briggs without the kicking game.

Ainscough tries hard but he's not a fb. Considering the number of games they've played in the positions I felt him and Platt should have been switched round.
