Today's result, in fact most of the results this season have shown what a farce the club and council made ballyhoo was.

In all fairness it's hard to down Hornets for a result against a soon to be Super league side whilst they themselves are still part time and due to be relegated. If anything it just highlights how difficult it is for teams to progress in Rugby League

with a supporters owned club and a commitment to keep the finances in order and not to go OTT on players wages (unlike many in sport) they are punching above their weight. When you consider the promotion last season it was always a case of fighting to stay up and to lose against Leigh (super league in waiting) is no disgrace

I agree with both of the above. Harsh criticism indeed. The equivalent of dale getting a 5 or 6 nil spanking last season from someone premier league bound and saying we didn't deserve the parade or praise from being promoted. Rugby League is so different from the football league with full time and part time teams competing in the same league, it's a struggling sport apart from the very top of the tree. Less bad mouthing and more support for the local teams wouldn't do any harm.

They seem to have spells in many games where they're competing but then it appears heads drop quickly and they concede a flurry of points and the game is lost. Having not watched them, I don't know whether its a mentality or a fitness thing, but their scorelines suggest they're worse than they actually are. And its always the ref's fault.

It's not always the ref's fault, sometimes it's the touch judge's.
