Official West Hartlepool RFC

Excellent result for the whole squad! Provides a good platform to push on for the rest of the season, keep up the hard wok everyone!

great result but what happened with the stags, how can we go from having 4 teams last season to only having one this season?

Lets not get into this in the public arena please. Carlo

Why on earth not? Apart from the 1sts result and performance, it was the talk of the club after the game.
People put a lot of work into running teams, and it's not right to see them let down.

I agree but this message board is not the place for these discussions! Just provides a platform for people with no knowledge of the club to post rubbish and cause further problems. Any concerns can be addressed directly with the appropriate people within the club. Carlo

Good point, as long as we are not sweeping it under the carpet.

It was an excellent game to watch, the west lads did everything with 100% determination so well done and keep it up!

Great 5 points!!! Sounds like a brilliant game. We MUST keep it going now and put ourselves into safety with at least two more 5 pointers out of the next 3 games.

Imitation is the best form of flattery - as is cut and paste.

Won't have a word said against Benji Pickin in case we are related some way back. Anyway, it's his turn to buy the beer in the return fixture.

I was beginning to worry that what we used to call the "Old West Spirit" was a thing of the past but the lads certainly proved me wrong on Saturday.
With so many disruptions to the team both before and after the game you have to take your hat off to the way every player got stuck in against decent opposition. Special mention to Myers and Robson for stepping up to the plate and, of course, for Waites who is getting more and more authoritative every week.
Looking at the fixtures we have an opportunity in the next few few games to get ourselves in a much more comfortable position. Let's get out training and take that opportunity.

Times must be hard in Bradford ... in the olden days this would be called plagiarism.
Send them a bill Pedro.

picked a good game to come up north and watch the lads thought both teams played great rugby and were a credit to the league, Very impressed with the way the lads kept going when they went down to 14, well done.
Also quick mention for the ref who i thought had a good game he didnt miss much.
