Think you've probably hit the nail on the head there.

Having watched the first half back ont' youtube, I think Walmsley showed up well both in defence and carrying the ball out. We got well on top for the first 10 minutes but then the comedy of errors started and we got pinned back. Cut out the errors and penalties and I think we are well capable of matching Fev (saying that, they are fast in attack and throw the ball around very quickly, there was some times I thought the playback had gone into fast forward!).

Yep, I think that didn't help though I guess you have to play advantage to see if Halifax can get the try in that situation...trouble is, Misi did a one-on-one ball steal on richard Moore and was haring upfield for a likely try when Kendall blew the whistle, it wasn't even Kendall's call (it was the touch judge) but there are some Fev fans who still haven't forgiven Kendall for it!

The Tangata/Wildie discplinary cases are certainly interesting...Tangata Grade A and 0 games ban, Wildie Grade B and 1 game ban.Not really a fan of comparing different incidents as no two incidents are exactly the same but I thought although Wildie's hit was maybe slightly later than Tangata's, Tangata's was much more vigorous. Anyway it means Tangata can play against Leigh so can't grumble!

Confirmed that Barber's sin binning was for repeated offences so the only puzzle is why the ref didn't appear to signal the warning to the crowd.

Forgot about the Misi ball steal, probably because I was sneaking out after the drop goal and thinking the game was lost only to rush’s back in when we got the penalty

Hand wise pretty sure he will only play when fully fit.
Match fitness, interesting question on him having a run out for the reserves, it would start to tick that box and if he broke down then it wouldn’t be in a full league game.

On other recent related news I see Alex Walker has gone back to London.
