Then there was an 18yr old who has played three games. And two second row playing prop, chan and a 21 yr old centre/winger playing second row and Kevin brown at loose! Lee Gilmour was playing prop forward or didn't you notice!'"
I maybe behind the times but you obviously can't read. I said for all the talk.
If you bother to look at the pre-match thread on the huddersfield game, you will see how all the talk is about the huddersfield pack going to dominate our pack and smash our team by 20/30 points. ( my response was to that pre-match talk).
I am right though we gave away far too many penalties and that is what gave Huddersfield the territory they lacked from the pack.
As for it being the coaches fault for holding down, yes there was holding down, but also late flops, head high shots etc. I actually enjoyed the game, I thought it was defensively strong from both teams and both teams struggled to break down strong defence.
It was a one point ball game, we fell on the wrong side of it away from home. But my god the defence was 100% better than last week, if we can keep that D up then the results will come. If it was a one off then we will be back to square one.
Also anyone going to batter Ade for the dropped ball or Makinson for letting 3 in down his side, or is that reserved for foster. I don't think we should crucify them but neither do I think that foster is the spawn of satan.
ps with foster kicking we may have won, all if's and but's.
