Re: The Championship Scores on the Doors thread....

I have to admit the youth thing has been mentioned, from the point of view that Diccon coached a lot of them at age group and he sees them as 'his' players , but to the point of being a bit blind when it comes to selection and almost putting too much pressure on them. Rugby is not chavball, there i...

No idea Merry, there was no visible injury. He had a horrible first half though. The cheer that went up when he subbed himself was one of the loudest of the night! Have to give him credit for running the gauntlet of the crowd as he left the field, he got a fair bit of stick as he walked off ! caref...

Penzance 14 - 14 Leeds
that's probably the most difficult fixture of the pool, so we'll take that.

Re: The Championship Scores on the Doors thread....

As a Bedford supporter, I hope Bristol win the play-offs. Having a knock-out system to decide promotion is ridiculous. To stay in the Premiership you need to win throughout the season- which is exactly what is not needed in a promotion knock-out. it's a fair point. but them's the rules. though inte...

it's great this play off system, isn't it? :D

just 2 points behind our targets now, and only have to improve on one place over the next 6 games to make the semis. good stuff.

rhinos won the grand final coming from 5th place last season, so here's hoping tykes go one better!
