And what did Mr B play like?

One day in a land far beyond the here and now ... he'll score a try.
We'll all be long gone by then......

FFS it's an athlete's game nowadays ... the days of the lard infested pie muncher is a distant memory, or at least should be.

TM picks the team using his skill and knowledge and it seems to be working.He has access to the tackle counts and ball carries etc of all the players available and if JB is selected I think it must be on merit.
However if you feel so strongly about JB I am sure he would be happy to speake to you about it after the game.

It would seem that Dom Dee wasn't available yesterday due to commitments known about when he signed.

Jamie Bovill has the best success rate at the club at the moment in terms of games won...he's the lucky mascot!

Theres a report in the Yorksire Post today claiming the Dons benefitted from a series of forunate decisions. Must have been written by a Welshie.

Great result---well done to the lads.

Said it before and I'll say it again...we must be the luckiest team in existence to get to 2nd in the league based solely on rub of the green

Similarly he will miss the Keighley game.


JB's place is booked again then.

Indeed!
But Miller himself said we got exactly that yesterday.
We didn't get it vs Keighley in the second half and so as you intimate it evens up.

Pressure creates its own luck, and credit to the Dons.
Teams who can pressure the opposition when the opposition has the ball will come out top in most even games.

He needs to come out holding a proper forward's hand then.


He played against Swinton ... we lost.

Yeah, I think Miller probably does, that's his job.
I would prefer an athlete personally, one who scores tries or creates them, not just a battering ram.
As for the last point, he'd have to catch me first and even at my age he might be struggling.



If he'd just flop over for at least one try every once in a while, he'd be fine by me.
How many has he got for us by the way ... any statos out there?

Ouch



Indeed that's the one game in which he was available for the full 80 and we lost...I should add I am not saying this as I believe he is the catalyst for all our wins, just stating a statistic

In the last eight matches, you could say that of our kicking tee.


I take your point though, a winning team is a winning team for many reasons and our man may add more than just the obvious lack of tries and offloads

... namely team spirit , determination and sheer hard work.
Anyway the lad's in the team, I will just accept it and say no more .......
<cheers in the background>

Could TM have played Liam Crawley ?

Coaches call maybe .

Just had a message from someone who was yesterday's game saying that Bovill played pretty well and made a few line breaks

Do you think he's been reading my tips?

Yes...it's all about you

As long as people realise that ... I'm content.



It's not the Sun that keeps our solar system together ... it's me.


Oh, and the reason why the Dons are doing so well ... well that's down to me too.

The picture in the Rugby Leaguer & League Express which accompanies the match report shows a picture of Aled James breaking the Dons line with two Dons players grasping at his shirt.
Excuse me! [size=200Purple[/size with yellow stripes!
Are we becoming confused?

And were they surprised?

Bet the journey home on the team bus was enjoyable

Whilst JB does frustrate at times he does seem to have calmed his temper and I think he does bring 2 things to the table:
team spirit in abundance and he tackles hard whilst nearly always taking 2-3 men to bring down. H e had a massive hit out in Swinton (during the 20mins he played) whereby he looked like he had been really smashed hard only for him to get up laughing whilst the Swinton tacklers looked shell shocked...

Not sure I have ever seen Jack as lazy - dare say he struggles with playing for spells longer than 20 mins - but he seems to be the main player since Cookie left for geeing the team up... Again creates a lot of tries...IMO

Have to say i disagree about jack. I think hes getting lazier as the season progresses and really dont think he brings much to the team at the moment. Emmet has been making a huge difference when hes come on the pitch and kesik always made a massive impact when replacing jack. The team often seem to struggle when ely is control of the game.

Really pleased with that result in South Wales, well done to all the players and coaching team and the lads and lasses who travelled to support. Can I just add my two penneth on the Jamie Bovill issue. I have had my doubts and there have been times when he's hit the tacklers and gone down like an extra in Paths of Glory, but he does cause problems when he's on song and he can put a biff in.

When TM marched across the pitch at Rochdale to his vantage point on the other side, I had to do a double take because for the life of me I could have sworn that JB who was with him was a young Karl Harrison. Cue abuse

Cookie will be available next season - do you think there's a chance he could return ? been brilliant for TO13 this season,despite the c**p coach....
