It's all got a bit gloomy hasn't it so let's have a list of positives.



1. Our youngsters;



Tom Johnstone, Max Jowitt, Jordan Crowther, Bradley Moules, Judah Mazive, James Batchelor.

All our own and all playing first team at some point this season, the future looks bright if we can keep hold of all this

talent!



Anyone else want to contribue to this thread?

Wembley weekend means I can enjoy a game of Rugby between two well drilled, skilful and committed teams.



And Bake off starts on Wednesday.

1 We are getting our traditional name back

2 We are getting out traditional badge back

3 We are still in SL

I'm with you on that - love a bit of Bake Off!

Me 3, love it

We are still in Super League with plenty of room to spare



I've seen some entertaining rugby this year

Reserve judgement though; I gather that they've been inspired by the most dynamic, forward thinking sports administrator in the country, who also likes cake, and have implemented a new judging structure, which will avoid dead rubbers and ensure that every carefully timed minute matters. After the initial rounds, the top 8 bakers will go into a Super 8 competition, where their Star Baker tally will be wiped clean, and they'll compete in a play-off system to see who wins.



Meanwhile, the middle 8 will be allowed to spend a load of money on new mixers and spoons, and will fight for a place in the top tier.



Probably.

Stop the world I want to get off





1, agree about the youngsters

2, again in SL

3, thank god we are not in the middle 8s



Is 2 & 3 the same

How did Batchelor go this week ?

No worse than the seasoned pro's, tackled ok , run it in OK but took a big hit in the 2nd half and came off, one for the not too distant future.

Our first try came off his strong run if I remember correct.

You also seem to have forgotten the part where certain bakers will be heavily penalised for using their spoon with the wrong hand, whilst others will be lauded for their dexterity.
