Dewsbury Rams coach Kelly proud despite Wolfpack defeat
The 23-12 loss to Betfred Championship leaders Toronto Wolfpack two days ago was Rams’ sixth successive defeat.
But Kelly insisted: “We are coming to the end of playing some tough sides and without having anything to show for it on the table, the players have performed pretty well.”

“But the players gave a brilliant account of themselves and I am really proud of their efforts.
“It was a good effort, but we’ve got to put what we’ve learned into practice in the next few weeks.”
Kelly reckons his team will get back to winning ways if they continue defending the way they did against Toronto.

“We showed great commitment in those situations to hold them out.”
Rams – who are eighth in the table – came through with no major new injuries.
They are at home to Halifax on Sunday in a game rearranged from Easter Monday when it was postponed due to snow.
