Why the hell are we not taking a drop goal in front of the sticks with 10 mins left on the clock and it would put us two scores ahead?and then why oh why we take a short kick off when 2 points in front in the last 5 mins i will never know.

Brain farts.
Sheffield made loads of mistakes and we couldn't capitalise.
Defence much better.
Attack somewhat weak.
A very "Brian Noblish" ground out win.

It's a start - long way to go.

I'll take a scruffy win anyday, especially when we needed one desperatly

I hope your proud of your ref.

Terrible game.

Ref knew nothing and was terrible for both teams, we couldn't do anything, but at least we got a win.

AND Neil Cherryholme! Why can't you run like that normally?!?

Agreed.

Get a grip man! We had half a side out there today and we toughed it out. The ref made some good and bad calls for both sides.

Are you serious!!!!

How on earth Sheffield managed to keep 13 men on the field until a couple of minutes from time I don't know. They were continually laying on and interferring at the tackles for which the referee penalised them and warned them. If he had stamped his authority on the game by sin-binning someone it wouldn't have resulted in the brawls we saw towards the end of the game.

On reflection perhaps it was a good game for Sam to miss, as I am sure the Seagulls would have done there upmost to wind him up

Yes, I'm serious. As a ref myself I can't quite believe the pure incompetence of Mr Turley. I agree, it kicked off because he had no control, but that's what happens when children referee adult games. This man needs removing, for his own good if nothing else.

Great game from Brendan Lindsay as well.

First of all - well done fax to grind out the win. 3 major moments in my opinion. The serious injury to brown def helped our cause ; the eagles looked pretty short of attacking ideas and the two fantastic try saving tackles by Patterson in the first half and bannister in the second. Overall happy with the defence but definitely lacked a cutting edge up front. Bit tough on Nash getting binned - too me i thought he ran over and tried to seperate fighting players ; the look of disbelief on his face was a picture.

Yeah i agree the couple of big efforts in defence won us that game, patterson on henderson on the stroke of ht and bannister in the corner in the second half, he injured himself in the process but it was the desire to put his body on the line that impressed me. It wasnt pretty at times but you could see the effort was there. Worrincy said in the south stand lounge after the game that the training sessions have been murder but if it proves the difference in winning and losing then the boys are all prepared to do the extra work. Today just showed the fine margins in winning and losing. I was frightened that we were going to throw the game away at the end. Aizue was massive again, he looks alot fitter this year than last, a wins a win now lets kick on from here. Anyone know what the penalty count was today?

Ha ha ha ha ha!! What a dummy spit.

Sheffield made bags and bags and bags of mistakes. Too interested in niggling too. The fact that we struggled to capitalize on them meant that you should have won. Aston petty attitudes have rubbed off on his niggling dirty-tactics players. You lost a game you should have won. Blame your daft coach instead of the ref. Him and the fans need to move on from their whining over Worrincy and Barlow. Let it go man . . . . .

We did some stupid things today but I am delighted with our defence and I am relieved we managed to grind a win out and show that we can win ugly. Lets hope with the week off next week we will have a a few bodies back for the very difficult trip to Leigh. Really happy we got a well needed 3 points today. Up the fax.
