[i"I think I might have to take some blame for this. For the last 10 years I've been bringing my mum to one or two home games per year and prior to today she'd never seen us win at home. I took her along today and she's still never seen us win at home. I may just have to accept that she's clearly cursed".[/i

So glad your mum's to blame, I never wear my beanie hat and decided to yesterday. With about 20 minutes left I took it off actually believing it might make some difference...

For the first time ever myself and daughter came out of game arguing!!!! She was saying we got beat due to the game on Friday night but I couldn't quite work out how that would affect a player from catching a ball!!! At the end of the day, we are beatable. Salford defended well, they were playing in the rain just as we were, they deserved the win, bloody nora we're gonna get beat occasionally, and at least Wigan, Saints, Huddersfield didn't fair much better!!! Yup, would have been great to capitalise on it, but we didn't

Shocking call, that. Almost as bad as when Shifcofske (sp?) knocked the ball on in the corner last week at Crusaders...

I was fuming at that. I also thought the number of times we dropped the ball in the tackle alarming. I appreciate that the high octane way we play will produce more handling errors than the average bear, but there must have been hands in one quite a few.

we dropped the ball so much because the ball was wet simples no hands in jst plain and simple butter fingers. in wet rain it is a lot harder to hold on to the ball in the tackle (point of contact) as the ball will slip.

is it? Never knew that.

And here's me thinking rain is dry... You learn something new everyday!
