was the referee that bad?

I never thought askam were like that in the 2 games we played against them they weren't dirty and didn't look like they were even like that.

speaking as a someone who part of the club. we not a dirty team. the referee didnt control the game and some of the lads felt that there were unsafe. that still doesnt condone what happened and the players involved aswell as the club will have to face the music now

The Latchford v Woolston game was a good local derby and we were very relieved to get the win. I was genuinely worried going into this game as we had a lot of players missing due to the MM weekend but the lads that came in did a good job. We were 12-0 up after 5 mins and then everything went downhill! Our loose forward was hit with a 3rd man in elbow that broke his cheekbone and he had to have a CT scan in hospital last night it was that bad - it wasnt even penalised though! That left me with 1 forward and 2 wingers on the bench for the remaining 75 mins which wasnt ideal and to make it worse we lost a prop on 50 mins!! but we pulled through despite being our own worst enemies with a ridiculous amount of silly errors. Credit to Latchford though, they knew they were in with a chance of turning us over this week and they played well. Another very tough game this week against HFH at home. Hopefully we should be nearer to full strength

Was it mellor who suffered the injury Clint. If it was he will be a big miss. All at west bank wish him a speedy recovery.

Mellor plays stand off buddy he just wears 13 wasnt him that got injured. Was Mather

Oh ok. Good luck in his recovery anyways, never a good sign to hear a player is seriously injured due to foul play.

Dalton vs Askam. Asakm by 18 think askam will be too much for Dalton.
Orrell vs st judes. St judes by 30 would be good to see orrell raise a side.
West bank vs adlington. West bank by 18 should win this game.
Wigan st pats vs ince. St pats by 22 they should bounce back with a good win.
Woolston vs farnworth. Woolston by 16 should win this a keep promotion alive.

St maries vs latchford is off as st maries are in national cup round 3 against oldham st annes

Looking forward to saturday. If it is like the 2 times we have already played you this season it should be a good game. Hopefully with the same result.

Dalton to win by 10

it should be a very good game... especially with a decent man in the middle in cliff tamou..

I spoke to Cliff this morning and wound him up a bit based on having a long travel - but he said he's away with his wife this weekend...so you'll be having someone else.

Okay i wonder who it could be then... hopefully will get a half decent one that doesnt wreck the game and turn it into the referee show

I will have a go this week, although if it's anything like the coupon at the bookies i'll be a mile off.

Dalton vs Askam. Dalton will be too strong at home. Dalton by 8.
Orrell vs st judes. Hope OSJ put up a good performance need to keep them playing rugby. St Judes by 26.
West bank vs adlington. West bank by 24.
Wigan st pats vs ince. Can see this being a close one as St Pats haven't had the best season so far. St pats by 12.
Woolston vs farnworth. No Comment.

Woolston 22 Halton farnworth 10

Orrell 14 St Judes 18

I along with a few Riversiders players turned out for Orrell today, let's hope we can at least help keep them playing until the end of the season.

Well done Hogan, unlucky with the result.

No, we had him.

What was up with the ref Milly?
The last try was no try granted, but how many high shots did your lads get away with


Same for both sides, I'd say the better side won, but the score definetly flattered you, we made some bad decisions with ball in hand, but hey ho, all the best for your promotion charge



PS Where was Wez Lawton today

West bank 86-0 adlington top win from us and would of been 100 if the ref hadn't of blown 15 mins early. Brilliant result though

You really think he was okay? You got away with a fair few indiscretions yourselves, he was poor and ruined what should have been a good game. It became all about him, rules were incidental and just ruined his fun.

Wez got what he wanted from us and returned to Bank Quay, so he was probably at Loushers Lane playing Ashton.

Well done riversiders for helping orrell get a side out keep it up

Dalton 4-14 askam
Orrell 10-18 st judes
West bank 86-0 adlington
Woolston 22-10 farnworth
St pats 8-4 ince rose bridge

Askam v st pats. Askam by 30
Adlington v orrell. Adlington by 22 think they will bounce back with a big win
Farnworth v latchford. Farnworth by 6 close game, home advantage will be vital
Ince rose bridge v woolston. Woolston by 20 to strong unless ince throw 1st team in
St maries vs west bank. West bank by 2 tough game for us men. Crucial game.
St judes v Dalton. Judes by 8 Dalton don't trave l well

Really pleased with our efforts yesterday, brilliant defence against a great side in HFH. League position doesn't do them justice they are definetely one of the best teams we've played this year and to concede only 10 (should have been 4 ) taking into account the amount of possession they had was a massive achievement.
I do agree with Milly tho, the ref made the game all about him, both teams just wanted to play rugby and he stopped that on numerous occasions. I think his lack of control also made the game boil over once or twice. All in all a good day at the office.
