No Eliab once again.

Leatherbarrow & Foster also not in the 19

Ackers, Macani, Keyes & Thackray return.

No surprise with Izzy, let him settle in, we are in no rush, settled winning side at the moment

Scott made a few mistakes on weekend - paying the price ?

Dewsbury a big big pack, so looking for extra beef, Foster drops out.

Squad rotation - I thought that was a thing of the past at Broncos !

Just looked at their squad and seen they have Luke adamson, Shane Grady, Karl Pryce and Paul Sykes in their 19, old Broncos floating around everywhere!
Who thinks we can shake the curse of dewsbury this Saturday?
I was happy with the result against Halifax but the performance could have been better as a team but a few individuals have stepped up this year, Kear was impressive and so was Barthau ( apart from the kick out on the full!) but I still want a more clinical showing this week

He doesn't deserve to be associated with our club in any way!!

He wasn't made very welcome last year, wonder how it will go this year.
I have no problem with fans making it an intimidating venue for the opposite team

Pity about Eliab, would have liked to see him play - he might add a dimension to the team?

We need to take advantage of the pitch tomorrow, as Widnes did last night against Hull. Quick play of the ball is what is required. If we try to slog it out with them,we will lose. Our defence needs to be good and our kicking game needs to be spot on, by now we should understand the variable bounce of the 3G pitch
and use it to our benefit.
This is a very winnable game.

No Offerdhal today, injured??

No, just not selected

00-06 down after 20mins

Anyone know if there's online commentary anywhere?

10-12 at H/T
2 tries for Williams.

Really need to improve 2nd half to get the win

we won we are top of the league

'We are top of the league
I said we are top of the league!'

COYB!!!

A good win, first half we made too many mistakes. The second half was much better and we came through to beat what are a bit of a bogey team for us.

It would be nice if Bradford beat Batley tomorrow or even if they were to draw. When you think how well we did against Leigh and we only lost it at the end , we could have had a perfect start. I am happy to be where we are though.

Sheffield lost at home to Haven!

Well we won, so have seen them win all 3 games so far, but tbh it was our worst home performance of the season

Positives
=======

Wes found his kicking boots again
Defence was much better than vs fax (although I don't think Dewsbury as dangerous as fax going forward)
We won

Negatives
=========

Not completing sets
Not as potent up front as in previous games
Not completing sets
Letting the ball bounce on kickoffs rather than catching it, how many times did that almost cost us today
Not Completing sets
Not completing sets



But at least we are winning when not playing well, we would have lost this last year. The problem is we keep giving the opposition help (stupid knock on's, not completing sets etc), and if we do get into the eights that will cost us.

But we played poorly and still ground the win, and 2 points each game is the key more than anything else

It was the amount of dropped ball in the first half that frustrated us the most but very happy with the 2nd half so can't complain. Did Hendo put Bromide in their half-time drinks? We will need a decent performance in both halves against Rovers in the Cup Tie to progress to the 5th round I reckon. Very relieved today not to see the team panic & throwing away the match as witnessed in recent years. Overall a 5/10 performance by the boys.

Like the way team don't panic when they go behind now. They back their defence. They definitely play better against the so called better teams. I feel they took Dewsbury lightly in the first half.

Points once more, started to get worried when they started to put the points on the board in the second half.

Missed the game, so obviously can't comment, but from what is on here sounds very much like the same pattern to last week's game. To be honest we are doing what a lot of teams did to us last year, we would have a reasonable first half then the half time chat the opposition coach having spotted our weaknesses adapt there play and blow us off the park. Hendo seems to have got that sorted for us this year, let's hope it continues.
Completion rate is a worry, yesterday was not a challenging day weather wise in fact probably perfect for this time of year we should be hitting 80 or 90%
5/10 if a realistic assessment actually bodes well as it shows we have a lot of improvement in the team.

Noticed from the FB pics that Alex Foster on crutches.

The injury curse seems to be striking again?!

Didn't quite find out the problem. But he did say he thought only a couple of weeks.

Thought that the announcer was better this week, whilst no Chris Warren it was a major improvement.
