Well for Dewsbury it was an away game, though ofcourse Swinton haven't had a real home of their own for a number of years, but it was still technically a "home" fixture. We should be comfortable winners, though nothing is a given.

Sounds familiar.

Maybe all Swintonians have wanderlust.

CN you could read the rest of the definition of the word mate, but you probably will not bother as it does not fit what you want to read, so be it.
You can be as up front as you wish, still no need for personal insults towards me or anyone on here.

Any chance of you talking about rugby?

could we get back to talking about rugby league and LB in particular? We now have two threads which have drifted into petty and pathetic arguments about the use of English, definitions of words and punctuation. Really, really boring.........

Agreed!

Who has appointed you as the moderator, that's Mintys job

No desire t be a moderator. Want to get back to the thread title? So what do we think the score will be, i am hoping for 30+ points in our favour, and it will be good to see a home game!

Putting a number on the win or margin is a difficult thing to and causes issues, if hendo sets a target of 30 point margin and we only win by 28 is that a fail? I agree with you though it would be good to see a convincing victory to set the marker. With the pitch 30 plus margin would be nice

Any win will do.
Especially with the visit to Leigh looming!

I agree, we just need to win. A win by thirty points would be good, but to win by just one would be good enough.

Would the preferable measure for a coach not be defence?

Sure and to be fair our defence is pretty good, withstood a serious onslaught last Sunday and stood up well.
You are only putting undue pressure on yourselves by saying we have to win by say thirty points.
If our defence and attack play as they can, the points will come.

My comments were "tongue in cheek" and intended to get the thread back on to rugby. I agree a win is priority, a good Winnie milling them or keeping them to a very low score and ourselves scoring a few tries. In addition avoiding injuries almost as important

On paper then yes we probably should win. However they need to turn up and produce the performance, it won't just be handed on a plate. Swinton won't be mugs, and should not be taken lightly. They will be smarting from last week. For us it needs to be a quality performance with clear signs in attack and defence that we really want to put teams away. How players respond to mistakes for example. Even if we did win by 20+ points, if we spend most of the game playing half heartedly I will be disappointed.

An unchanged squad (for a change), so we should be able to move up a gear. It's all looking remarkably positive for us.

Swinton carry a history in the sport,as did Station Road.But we see them back in the same league your playing in.Never show disrespect to others or your own club. Your return visit will be at the home of the good Doctor.

The parallels between you and the protagonist of that book are endless!

06-12 down just before H/T

Very poor performance by all accounts!!

I'm not excluding myself from membership of the confederacy.

Even taking interest in the Broncos from afar is pretty stupid.

Not as stupid as actually being there in person though.

Pathetic-Editted I was shocked now retracted!!

At 18-18, I thought "WTF!"

But, well done in the end lads, 38-18 is more than satisfactory.

Anyone who was there, I'd appreciate a first hand view, thanks.

Who are you kidding?

Superior fitness obviously told in the end that's all.

How do you know what brought about the win?

I surmised.

But come on Swinton more than hold their own first half & then fade in the second.

The usual suspects will be along to poo-poo me no doubt but that Dewsbury pre-season result is looking very telling.

First half was poor. Second half improved. Lots still to work on.
