Really? Genuine question, as I know as fans it's easy to miss the transgressions of your own players; because this is the only real criticism I have of DP's tenure.
We lack any aggression, are too passive in contact and too easily dominated on the floor.

Adam Milner contradicts that, I saw atleast two swinging arms when we had been tackled. This all occured when we was fairly dominant in the first half. I personally thought that you out aggressed us and it showed at the end when we were left with interchangable player you had too much energy and then ran away in the end.

Guessing he took the hit from an attempted tackle on Millington(?). It was a strong run, aggressive run so I would say accident.

My first instinct was Millington lead with the forearm? Albeit I was in the North Stand so wasn't the best view

Came off for a concussion assessment then came back on as far as I’m aware. To be fair I thought second half he was falling off tackles rather too easily but this explains why.

Doh. Of course he did. I remember him walking round the back to the changing rooms. Forgot.

Cheers, I genuinely missed that (having 2 kids with me means I miss as much as I see)! I always think there's no mongrel about us and feel we're too nice; I just want them to be more aggressive, not quite Wigan aggressive though!

Bloody hell, How much more aggressive do you want Cas to be be with Millington and Moors in the team?

He will be gutted, he has been consistently good all season and he will now miss our biggest game of the season so far.

Re: Matty ashurst : Mon Jul 25, 2016 9:22 pm  

I'm gutted for him. Tbh I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time. I thought he took a knock to the head and then when he came back on after the Assessment I thought we'd got away with one, although he didn't look 100%. But obviously it was far more serious than it seemed to be. It's a massive shame for him to miss the Semi, as it is England, Johnstone and Sio because they all played big parts getting us there.

Re: Matty ashurst : Mon Jul 25, 2016 10:12 pm  

I thought the same Shifty. At the time Cas had just got some momentum going when Matty stayed down. When the physio first got to him he gave a thumbs up to the bench and (wrongly) I suspected time wasting. The physio then pointed to the head and brought him off. Very brave lad to come back on with such a bad injury
Like a lot of other teams this season Wakey players continued to go upstairs on Junior Moores and found themselves on their backsides and in some discomfort.
Genuinely hope Matty makes a complete and speedy recovery.

Presume the contact is the one by Cook in the 28th minute. Considered to be accidental by the RFL. Bet Scott Moore really gets pee'd off when he sees what others get away with. Not one charge this week for quite a few dubious hits during the full round 23.
