I understand why you question me on that. I felt we had them on the rack and even though attacking wise we weren't good we had six tackles to win the game from 10 yards out - anything could have happened. I personally wanted to see them believe that they could score and win the game. Wilkin went crazy at the decision to go for goal he wanted to run it. I suppose with the tackling they did maybe they didn't have enough left in the tank but now Hull could be 4 points clear of us (if they win their game in hand) and I thought for that reason it was a gamble worth taking.

But it would have been cruel for Saints not to have gotten some rewards out of the game so I suppose the right decision was taken.

I think you can use Jones on both sides of the ball. Defensively he is very good and although we have yet to really see much attacking play we have seen glimpses to suggest he has talent offensively too. I'd like to see him get more of the ball in the coming weeks to showcase his talents. I really didn't see much of Turner with the ball to make me think that we have to sign him, basically down to Jones shutting him down.

Same could be said of Shenton against Willie Manu. Shenton did very well yesterday and really nulified what attacking threat Hull have on their left hand side.

Personally I think Turner is overated, his improvements this year have been more down to better defensive structures with in the team, he looks very good against the poor and middle teams (did last year), but then looks average against the better teams.

Manu is an outstanding signing though, in the top 3 backrows forwards in the league (forget his age), hardly ever gets injured adnd regulary does 80 minutes.

Just seen the match report from Saints. It sounds like we could have won it if the ref had not blown early for a Hull FC knock on.

Even Rush says he wishes we could have run it but the gamble would not have been a very good pay off if it went wrong.

Thank goodness Wello had more sense than just about everyone. At least he was thinking tactically even if nobody else was.

That's one way to look at it, but Longy may have run it!!
