The reason it costs that is because of fuel parking and admission

I don't think wahs should be had a go at, I think he comes all the way from Scunthorpe and stopped supporting on cost, because our concession price is high compared with other clubs.

Unfortunately he picked a good game to return and if he thought it was a rubbish performance he is entitled to say so.

For my part, if we had been twenty points behind at 34-14 and done what Swinton did and scored 22 unanswered points and won 36-34 (which is what the score ended up as) we would have been ecstatic .... so let's pretend we did that. :lol:

We didn't of course do that and I suspect that had there been another five minutes Swinton would have won ... but there wasn't and they didn't.

I thought Swinton played spectacularly well in the second half and if they had nicked it I couldn't have denied them on pox grounds, because they weren't poxy and they made their own luck as well as squandering a few chances more.
From the play the ball, they were taking the ball in at speed like demons and showing us how it should be done. We however in attack were slow and ponderously shifting the ball.

Let's face it, if it hadn't have been for my man marvel Wilko, what did we have to offer in the second half?, and he got taken off by way of thanks. :lol:

Cookey taking himself off, putting his cue on the rack and then hurriedly returning to the sinking ship (do you like mixed metaphors? :lol: ) and immediately throwing an interception was the only source of amusement in that god-forsaken second half.

We missed the Hull lads ... certainly Ben Crooks (not sure why we didn't have him, perhaps someone can shed light) but thank goodness for Sando's boot .....

I thought we lacked go forward power, looking a bit lightweight compared with Swinton and a few of our tries weren't well worked team tries, just individual bits of opportunism which came off.

That lack of creation really struck me, we were Dons-lite on Sunday and the usual limpet-like defence became a limp-like defence.

But we won, but it's not edifying to watch a Dons side blatantly hanging on and praying for the hooter. We are not used to it, which is a testament to how far we have come.
Anyway Swinton played well, both in attack and defence and stifled us ... they should have all the credit.
They must have gone home on the coach cursing. I am surprised that they haven't won more games if that is what they are capable of.

Anyblinkinghow our next game at Keighley is going to be tough if that is the form we are in, because just like Dewsbury away, Keighley now how do a number on us at their place ... it's almost a given.

Need Scotty back, a bit of class from Hull (I would settle for Crooks and Whiting :lol: ), but more importantly, I think we need to be Miller-lite (see what I did there? :wink: ) ... it's not working.

Good post S/O.

It is hard to believe that Swinton haven't done better this season considering the effort they put in to nearly do us. They looked decent at their place when we just scraped home too.

On Sunday, we did miss the extra quality that a couple of extra Hull players would have added - which probably confirms the benefits the DR system has brought us this season.

It was hard for Tom Hodson to fit seemlessly into the full back position and we did miss Scotty.

I remember having some bad days at Keighley. They do seem to be a side we can struggle against. Let's hope we have a good day there on Sunday.

The comparison between the Leigh game and the Swinton game just goes to show how fortunes can change very quickly and nothing can ever be taken for granted at this game.

Halifax are at Swinton on Sunday and Featherstone are at Whitehaven.

Three interesting games coming up soon are:

3rd August: Halifax v Dewsbury
8th August: Leigh v Featherstone
17th August: Halifax v Featherstone

In the mean time, we need to keep winning! :wink:

My thoughts too. He's done very well in the second row for us. I was looking at his profile on Hull's site the other day. I think he's 27 now. He's apparently a good golfer too according to Richard Whiting!

He'd be a good signing if we could get him.

not saying he can't say it was a rubbish game i was saying you don't stop going because of one game thats the point.

You have to pay travel cost whatever you do on a sunday unless you sit in the house.
I also live near scunthorpe .
And i am not saying anymore on the matter because everyone is NOT getting the point, so whats the point :)
