For me the decision by Hardaker to get the ball over the try line rather than grounding it and taking time over a drop out, kicking it 50/60m down field is the bigger fault. We didn't need the points, we needed field position and time. Briscoe knocking on is unfortunate and even if he had caught it would have been forced back over the line anyway due to the entire defence being 5+ yards offside - how it wasn't picked up by the video ref is beyond me! Maybe we should start a Twitbook group and harangue the RFL into investigating it!

The problems are not just in the squad.

I always think new signings need a years grace to settle into team patterns etc.Briscoe is no different.Signings that spring to mind (in previous years) who were slightly disappointing in their first season were McKenna,Scott Donald,Delaney,all these improved and did the club great credit.Jamie Mathiou never improved on his first season; I am slightly worried with Mitch Achurch who is about to enter his 3rd season,next year.Hope he is not another Jamie Mathiou.Although players like ET and Marcus Bai seemed to hit the ground running.

I personally think Achurch has improved from last year. I think the biggest issues are he seems to be a confidence sort of player needs to get on a bit of a roll. Early season playing second row thought he looked promising but a few injuries and a return to either bench warming or prop, which he doesn't do very well has not helped him

Delaney came good after everyone realised he wasn't really much cop as a centre.

Makes you wonder how he got a gig in the NRL at centre?
