I am

think you will find the best under 20 players were left on the bench... alot of the team you beat were under 18's.... once the likes of the evans brothers, laithwaite, duffy and o'brien came on we outplayed you considerably by all accounts.

Don't know how you can argue that alot of your players are not overweight when everyone can see it with their own eyes.

Don't take it personally though.... its not just your club.... there are alot of overweight players in lower league rugby.. that's just the way it is.

How did Ben Currie play?

Nothing personal taken but our lads work all day,train a few nights and a couple of hours on a saturday,they wont be as fit as your lads be they u23,u21 or whatever.Nothing seems to be said that in the second half we made nine changes putting in fringe players
We are a club struggling along one owned by the fans with very little resources,unlike super league clubs who must have bigger back room staff than we have in our squad, but we keep going and we played and beat the future stars of a super league club let us take some comfort from that.

Im not having a go... just counterling your claim that 'the future doesn't look good' for us.

Our under 20's won the league last season and the latest England youth team announced had more wire players in it than any other team.

So the future doesn't look that bad.

As I said in my report it was a very entertaining game and BOTH sides played some good rugby.

We each scored 6 tries so that was even, but the scoreboard doesn't lie and Rochdale won.

Rochdale do have some very good players in their side and to give them anything other than credit for the way they played would be very unfair and simply incorrect.

It was a very worthwhile game from our point of view and I am sure we will improve further in our next game at South Wales.
