Looking on SLS Halley had some trouble under the high ball, but so would any fullback barring perhaps Steve Hampson of old. They were superb kicks that really put the pressure on.

As for who should play fullback, I reckon it should be whoever is in the best form. It's good to have competition for places and now we have it for fullback and wing.

exactly - halleys ideal player to have on bench as cover for backs especially whilst godwins out. He can cover wing and fullback and keep the incumbents on their toes. Hard to justify dropping sheriffe when he's scoring good trys and platts improving steadily. halley on bench stops them slipping into their comfort zones. Also wonder if we've considered using dave as cover for the halves, as he was originally signed as a halfback.

How could it have backfired?

Would the hooter going have caused him to drop the ball, or kick it out?

Did you not know he has a phobia of hooters, call yourself a fan!

try's not complete till he grounds it - if hooter had gone before he grounded it wouldnt have been a try

What would have happened?

end of game.

Huh?

Oh right.

When did this new rule come in? I've obviously missed it.

pretty certain I've seen tries disallowed through not been grounded before hooter sounds in past. other scenario would have been a catalans player shoving him into touch while he was coming across to the sticks and if you watch the try back there were a few cats players within reach. Should have grounded the ball the instant he crossed - the conversion wasnt necessary to ensure the result.

He seems to be under the impression that they were playing a game of football

maybe Im imagining seeeing it before - wouldnt be the first time
