Flower has been superb this season in all facets of his game. Missed him tonight.

Really? I would say he’s been ‘solid’.....ie what you would expect from a prop forward as standard. I suppose compared to the rest you could class him as superb.

Our front row is championship standard, Flower is the best of a bad bunch (our current leading try scorer, how bad iis that), Clubb is ineffective every game and Tautai needs cant stay on the field but when he does he’s giving daft penalties and knock-one away for fun.

Bullock and Hamkin can't be immune from criticism either tonight - Bullock's defensive effort their second try was appalling and Hamlin gave up possession far too often.

Who knows? Perhaps he was evening it out from the missed shoulder charge on Austin? We all know Thaler is sh!t3!

It wasn’t missed?

He got put on report.

One thing that was missed was Westwood pushing the knee into TL’s throat, pinning him on the ground and weirdly receiving a pen for tommy not clearing the ruck.

That was a head scratcher

Not that I’m trying to go tit for tat

I think that is harsh on Flower and if Bullock can increase his fitness and minutes will be a good asset for us.

No, because it would likely end up going to golden point! Your lot dished plenty out as well, and always have done. I didn’t mean the shoulder was missed, but that he should’ve rightly gone for it. But instead whoever you play next week will likely get the benefit if he’s banned.

Hamlin needs to sort his attitude for my money. Has potential but drops far to much ball and spends the whole game winging at the red and flapping his arms around trying to milk decisions. Annoying...

Bullock ran well tonight but agree. Poor in defence but it mostly looked like poor positioning. Benefit of the doubt for me as he has massive potential I think.

Great work rate too for a big unit.

That call on the Isa drop out incident was appauling. 13-11 with a penalty under the sticks and we would have had a great chance to win it.

Despite being second best all game.


Thaler gave us nothing 12-4 penalty count and at least two of ours we’re on a tackle one.

The “one on one steal” was shocking too. Rules say if more than one player effect a tackle and all but one drop off, it’s still a steal.

Well I think that was a big step forward when compared to recent weeks. We looked far better with Leuluai at 9. Williams had a much better game and Sammut was good. Hardaker was excellent all game.
We were beaten by a better side but there was improvement and we have a lot more of it in us. We move on.

Williams was poop again he only wakes up with 15 minutes to go

Re: Penalties and offloads : Fri Mar 15, 2019 11:55 pm  

thought you looked proper ordinary tonight. resorted to some pretty shoddy tactics..no surprise there. The shoulder charge on Austin nearly brought you back into it...thankfully we managed to get through with 11 men and staying in 3rd gear. Westwood is a liability. Enjoy your relegation fight with Leeds and Huddersfield.
