ALL GOLDS vs.<br />
NEWCASTLE<br />
PREVIEW<br />
WRITTEN BY PATRICK BAINES<br />
THE ALL GOLDS WILL BE HOPING A RETURN TO THE<br />
FAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS OF THE PRINCE OF WALES<br />
STADIUM WILL INSPIRE THEM TO A MUCH NEEDED TWO<br />
POINTS ON SUNDAY.<br />
12<br />
Lee Greenwood was critical<br />
of his team following a<br />
late collapse at Keighley<br />
last weekend, the second<br />
game in a row they have<br />
wilted late on. Trailing by<br />
just six points at the start<br />
of the last quarter, the <strong>All</strong><br />
<strong>Golds</strong> ended up losing by<br />
24 which angered the <strong>All</strong><br />
<strong>Golds</strong> Head Coach. “We<br />
were competitive for the<br />
first 60 minutes but we’ve<br />
got a bad habit of caving in<br />
at the moment when we’ve<br />
got to defend our try line.<br />
Until we sort that out we’ll<br />
carry on getting beat. They’ll<br />
definitely be some changes<br />
for the <strong>Newcastle</strong> game<br />
which is unfortunate as I’d<br />
like a settled starting line-up.”<br />
Greenwood will be pleased<br />
to welcome back Almer<br />
Tagayuna who missed<br />
the Keighley game with<br />
concussion. The on loan<br />
Widnes hooker recently<br />
extended his loan deal with<br />
the club until the end of<br />
the season. Wingers Jonny<br />
Leather and Phil Cowburn<br />
and prop Alex Davidson<br />
could return to the squad<br />
having missed out against<br />
Keighley.<br />
The home side will be<br />
confident of gaining victory<br />
on Sunday having been on<br />
the right side of a 36-28<br />
score in the iPro Sport Cup<br />
quarter final three weeks<br />
ago. In fact, the Golden<br />
Fern will be looking to make<br />
it three in a row against<br />
<strong>Thunder</strong> having won the<br />
most recent league clash 26-<br />
10 last August.<br />
<strong>Newcastle</strong> are in desperate<br />
need of two points<br />
