Ball steal was 1 on 1. Flat of the hand by walker. Every pass was forward going by the nutters near us. Ref did not have a good game. But never affected the result.

The ball steal could've gone either way. I said at the time I would've been livid if you had scored that one. Ref was shocking, watched the tries on SL show and both sides could/should have had tries chalked off for forward passes/knock-ons.

What's the view on a second hooker?

In the absence of a scrum half and with O'brien being young and targeted we lacked game management. Our last tackle plays were poor. At one stage we kicked for Henry to challenge Mantellato ffs. Someone who can come on and pick up our line speed in defence and kick out of dummy half. Are all our hookers/halves a bit young?

I'm not sure if this is the issue but we seem to lack a bit of leadership/game sense.

Having said that I agree with Pitts in the T and A who said we'll get better. I think our pack is showing real signs of coming together.

Certainly need to know more about our young hookers but presumably the management team do know more about them. Starting one of them at Donny would make sense to me with AOB on bench. This is probably where we miss Siejka and the things he did.I don't have any concerns about any of the forwards and we've still got more to add. I think the balance is coming together and we just continue to make steady progress without actually switching off and shutting down ...... that does seem to be difficult sometimes. I can't see we'll be needing Matty B as a forward.

If anybody has earned a rest, it's AOB

So 2 HKR players from our cup game on Sunday Adam Walker (striking) and James Donaldson (Kicking) fined and 1 match ban , utter incompetence from the ref and linesmen not to have taken stronger action during the match, looks like win by any means from some clubs
