^^^^^^^^

We have a winner

this is what happens when you get thaler and wakefield if there is any wakey fans in here iam sorry but the guy gives you most things other refs dont and i think in all fairness he you get a few things you shouldnt

I considered it a game for the purist imo. Just because the teams are not looking for an offload on every tackle or a expansive move every set does not mean that the game is not good (the fellas on the box are not great judges of RL imo). For too long imo SL games have been played with the players looking to push the play on every tackle without any any thought. Players in SL should be more patient with ball in hand (like the aussies) possesing better decision making abilities. You do not have to score on every tackle. One of the areas our lads lack is our decision making ability. Making players throw the ball around with no thought will never advance our game imo. The commentators were talking about this but i was thinking that both teams were setting up for position, instead of being negative. Either you are like QLD and can attack from deep or you have to work for something like field position. Makes me laugh in this country that if you dont chuck the ball about you are judged as negative. You may just be looking to set up position for something later.

I think in all fairness you are talking out of your bottom.

Was you at Belle Vue last week? He certainly didn't give us anything out of the ordinary against your team last week...

On the performance....

It was exactly what we needed after the confidence shattering performance last week. Last weeks was as bad as I can remember and know from reading our board that a lot of fans were at the lowest of the low with the way we crumbled. Most of the things we did wrong last week we did right tonight.

It was about trying to do the basics right and then more often than not the rest comes. When you stick to the gameplan and get into a winning position then the confidence returns and the points will come like it did in the last quarter.

It was a much needed solid all round team performance and a good two points..

It was dull but tactically-perfect.

I agree that the Cooke try was a real blunder, as Ganson was so close, and the Yeaman try should have been given, but the best side won.

Ganson is God for allowing Cooke's try Everyone hates Hull

Just like last week then

Cookes try should have been disallowed but to be far if Ganson had sent it upstairs Thaler would have given it to Wakey anyway

spot on there squire, its obvious you were at the Wakey KR match last week

Straight forward questions

If the game had not been on TV would you A) Know that's Cookes try was dubious?
B) Have given a try as you had observed it at normal speed?
C) Know that Hulls disallowed try was for offside at normal speed?

That's the trouble with the Video ref system, it's trying to achieve "perfection" in a sport where it is impossible to achieve because of so many variables.

D) have allowed Aaron Murphy's try

Its getting abit ridiculous with the ptb now, when we played kr earlier in the season the ref actually asked the video ref to check if the play off the ball was correct leading upto the try, the ptb wasnt correct but the try was awarded anyway. The the next game we played we got a penalty for incorrect ptb when we near the opposition line.

There is absolutly no consistancy.

Yep

Agreed

Applies to players, coaches, fans etc
