No, no and thrice no, it always amuses me that people refer to that taking penalties and gaining 2 points will have a bearing on the final score of a game, the simple matter that after the kick is taken - other than playing on - the game will restart on the half way line not were the penalty was awarded then we will have a completely different game, the only way it will not alter the rest of the proceedings of the game is if it is the very last action, a kick is taken and the ref blows for full time.

Points on the board win games,if we had taken those 2 on offer all the penalties given against kr in the last couple of minutes could have resulted in us getting at least a draw

Off course, if there is no more scoring, my point is the game will be an entirely different one, the time continument will have been altered, the game will take on a whole new script, who knows what would happen?

The Watcher believes that we the best we can hope for now is the MPG, probably away at HKR. On this basis The Watcher is predicting we will be back in the Championship next year. If we do ever get promoted back to SL again The Watcher would like to offer some advice to the player recruitment person..... rugby league is a young mans sport.

The reason we did that at the end was that going for two points meant a loss for you. There would not have been time to restart and get back to our line.

Now what? We go and beat Catalan that's what.

Some big decisions needed on team selection prior though.

Does Drinkwater keep his place on the back of today? He took a big hit off Scruton early doors. Not sure if that affected him but he simply was not at the races all afternoon. We have beat Warrington, Wigan, Hull, St.Helens and Huddersfield with Ben Reynolds at 6.

Does Liam Hood keep his place? Do we now need Pelissier to inject something extra with his pace around the ruck?

Is Cory Paterson still effective? Is it time to bring in Sam Hopkins offering some badly needed go forward?

Are both these wingers good enough? Does it now need a bold decision from Jukes to start James Clare in addition to Mitch Brown in Perpignon?

I feel we need fresh impetus. We got done over again at home by a side offering just one attacking threat in Sean Lunt but an abundance of sheer dogged determination, desire and motivation to win.



Add to that, why do we keep persisting with the idea of Stewart being an "organising 13", reduces our go forward and turns a one dimensional attack into a half dimensional.

As for Drinkwater or Reynolds, I honestly don't know, I think Reynolds' reputation enhances more when he's not in the team than when he is, but would probably pick him over Drinkwater.

If Stewart is going to be picked as an interchange 13, then Hopkins may as well have that role. I think there's a case of interchanging 11 and 12 however.

Are both wingers good enough? No. Higson simply makes costly bad decisions. Could see from 80 yards away that his offload in the first half wasn't going to end well, at a point when we just needed some possession. And I don't know what he was thinking for Shaw's try. I thought Hampshire was now back in contention? He should be playing wing. If Clare is fit, would say there's a case for replacing both wingers.

Undone by one attacking threat, and our goal line defence with multiple defenders on one attacker is found wanting again.

Worse still is we have again failed to close out a close game. Need to treat next week as a free swing, hopefully not as many forwards getting the ball with a standing start and playing with less fear. There's a difference between play off rugby and turgid dross.

Lawler mercilessly policed Drinkwater whilst Addy hounded (and pounded) Mortimer. TBH this is the first time I have seen Rovers deploy this tactic this season; it was highly effective in that it rendered them ineffective and allowed Ellis the space to control the middle.

They took 2 in the second half , but that's the point , we are/were the SL team at home , I'm all for taking a penalty when it increases pressure on the opposition

In poor conditions where completing sets is difficult , not in perfect conditions

If the scores are level , ie taking a lead

If leading by 6/12 or 18 , ie increasing the converted try margin

All those increase pressure on the opposition

All we did was hand confidence to Rovers

Yes we were struggling to break their line , so force repeat sets , tire them out , a large % of try's in SL are scored on the back of penalties and repeat sets
