Quote: Zimmerman "You were the best side by some distance and had too much class for us. A yard and a half quicker and slicker in your handling, speed and executions all round the field. To be honest I was happy to come away with only a 26-12 defeat. Too many of your players went so well, it would take too long to mention them all, particularly some of the younger ones, who looked real prospects. However I think Cuthbertson definitely rates a mention. Looked dangerous every time he got the ball and proved a real handful. Very impressed by him.
However it was a good exercise for us and we definitely know what we need to do if we want to more than a team that just scrapes in the top 8.
I also thought Ben Thaler had an excellent game and yes if he did anything wrong he could maybe have binned Scott Moore, who needlessly gave away a stupid penalty that allowed you to get field position, for your 4th try. Outside that he refereed the game like it should be reffed, if only most other games were officiated like this.
He must have done well, because on our own message board there has not been one complaint about him, which is extremely unusual for our fans to say the least.
Well done.'"
Excellent points, very well made.
For once we're not talking about decisions made by the ref having an undue bearing on the result.
How on earth Bentham & Silverwood keep getting all the top games beggars belief.
Perhaps Thaler's performance in the Wigan vs Leeds semi two or three years ago when he did seem to favour us still counts against him.
Unlike the countless crap performances by Silverwood & Bentham in games involving us.
