Difficult to tell from the TV footage but it would have been a close call either way. For mine just short of the twenty.



No need to look any further once the planted non kicking foot had touched the 40 metre whitewash.



In what respect was it an incorrect call ?

A part of the players foot touched the line in the act of executing the kick. Not sure officials are really allowed to ignore the rules in that way.

It was Aaron Heremaia.

Erm......

yeah our halves were poor - but with Holdsworth only arriving in January and 1 week training in tenerife - i think that we were bound to be poor with the ball - should have played that half back pairing in every pre season game IMO

A very useful hit-out for the lads and the highlight for me was the JP try legs pumping like a young backrower what a awesome player he is and lets hope he continues that form for a while. worth the gate fee to witness it. The other positives were to see the form of C Clarkson and that P McShane fitted in well with decent minutes on top. Despite some reservations i like the look and agility of M Achurch

Just a body that made 37 tackles. What do you watch during the games or is it personal with JJB. I remember you taking pot shots at him for facial hair

after the resurgence of several players in 2011 it's hard to write anyone off (again) but on present form clarkson may offer more than jjb.

with delaney and jjb you've 2 second row who will work all day but it's the breaks clarkson's now making that are probably more jjb in his pomp than the 37 tackles

It should be hard to write off last years player of the year after 1 game. It should be hard to write him off after he makes 37 tackles in that game. It should be hard to write him off for a player who has put in 1 good attacking display after a couple of years where that side of his game has stagnated.

It should be. But on Southstandert, it isn't.

He did state "present" form. ....and just for the record I would not drop JJB. Clarkson to continue off the bench for me.

Anyone know what the prognosis is on Leuluai?

IIRC he can't go out on dual registration or loan without changing his visa, so even when he's back fit it's hard to see where he's going to regain his match fitness

At Swinton alongside Paul Wood.

Or Hunslet....
