Wibsey tried to stem the tide by going over in the corner shortly afterwards but Rangers didn’t offer any further chances.  Rowan Keenan scored two tries in quick succession, Hayes and Keenan both closely missing the conversions, before Luke Nicholls rode determined tackling to get the ball down with Keenan now putting his kicking boots on.  20-4 at half-time and Rangers ran riot after the break.  Nicholls scored another three tries – seven in two games – and Will Dobson provided his first for the season.  

Hayes kicked a further conversion, Keenan two more, for Rangers to run out 38-4 winners.  The scoreline wasn’t the only story though as there were impressive performances across the pitch.  

Mason Hindle’s patience on the wing is paying off and he rightly drew praise for dropping on several loose balls as well as making some useful tackles; and interchanges from Louie Austin-Lee, Cameron Harrap, Haroon Khan and Joshua Smith enabled Rangers to mix up the plays. 

Opposition Man of the Match went to Keenan - clearly not troubled by his strapped fingers after last week’s (self-inflicted!) injury.  

Thomas Leaver took a fourth successive Player’s Man of the Match – who will stop him this season? – and Kyan Denton was awarded Man of Steel for a classy defensive game which had spectators applauding throughout.  

Coaches’ Man of the Match was half-back Thomas Hayes, building on last week’s second-half performance with a growing confidence in attack, defence and organisation to cement his position at no 7.  

A game to remember leaves us looking down from the top of the table this weekend – bring on next Saturday!
