34-18 to the broncos

He can refer all he likes, I stand by what I said about when a win over Dewsbury mattered. Apologies if I can't exactly get it up for the Championship Shield - that said I'm 99% certain to be there as I will be in Manchester on Saturday and overnight .

It maybe harsh but I suspect the fact Hendo is playing post retirement tells a story.

I don't think it comes as a coincidence that when he plays the team is better.

Is this the something this half from Batley will bring I wonder?

I am not sure I agree. I thought JC was dynamic, led from the front, 2 or 3 'scoots' with decent pace, decent distribution, no mug in defence, caught out a couple of times with the ball and played the majority of the 80. Hendo was Hendo, speed no, but steadiness personified.

I think you've missed the point plumb. I'm not suggesting Cunningham is not fitter or even not as good, I'm making the point that we seem to play better with hendo in the middle as the directing mind! rather than a dynamic hooker scooting away.

When you think that we gave them their first try, their second try the player put his foot in touch when he received the ball, you can see how dominant we were. When they took the two points so early in the second half, we knew it was there for the taking.
