You that had me scratching my head as well.
Then we had a penalty at a very similar distance later in the game and we took the tap and scored a try.
Im glad Cas took the decision they did, As you say if they score a try a very diffrent games appears.

Definitely looked about 3000 of us there mate.

Not the 250,000,000 predicted but credit crunch and all that.

Whilst it was poor defence rather than the referee that cost us today, some of his decisions today where nothing short of bizarre (the one sticking in my mind is when kr tried to intercept a cas pass, knocked on then picked up the ball with alibert waving play on, and fox scoring in the corner) and you are not the first kr fan who has said to me that the try should have stood. It does make you wonder if alibert would be allowed to referee at this level if it wasnt for the fact the rfl want a french ref for internationals.

Congratulations on securing 4th spot.

I thought that jones also had a really good game and the snowie played excellently.

The crowd was closer to 9000 than 8000 (8709 I think) HKR fans filled up about 2/3 of the Princess Street side so just under 3000 of them is about right.

Just a minor thing, the replay shows clearly that Welham went to make the tackle and didnt play at the ball meaning Foxy's try was correct. Couldnt see the Westerman incident but I think it was the touch judge that was 100% he had touched the corner flag before grounding the ball.

All the talk about getting rid of Video Refs and in this game a VR would have benefitted both sides IMO.

On the replay it does look like Cooke was offside though didnt really notice that at the game.

I think your injuries through the game killed you, sure the ref wasn't good and the game would have been closer but at the end of the day when your walking wounded you cant play to your best as has happened with us this year and its not nice being told "injuries cant be used as an excuse"!!
