Well at the time (not with hindsight) my exact concern with not kicking for 2 points was that we wouldn't score a try from the penalty and they'd level with a one pointer or kick a 2 points to win a few minutes later. But I can see the arguments for and against doing what they did and I'm not even criticising the decision, just how the argument for going for the 2 points seemed to be beyond Clarke.
I'm with you MM, it's not for the first time that not taking the two and getting the ball back has cost us and on previous occasions we were a better team, or certainly in better form depending upon your POV. I'm not at all convinced that we can make it over from 10 metre plays, but, then again when Wigan and Leeds have taken the two in recent big games it seemed to work in our favour as it put a 'spring in our collective step...'
This team, current form, last night, take the two for mine.
