We've been shambolic, this half.
No real directon, too many mistakes, and we've got what what we deserved.

Ah, well

Never got going second half. Couple of freak tries, some stupid plays, some dubious calls and the man who would make his own mother turn away in disgust, James Bentley.

They have had absolutely everything from the ref tonight!

Lineham had to go, when we restarted how was it their ball? How was that a strip? Moore is a crap referee.ruined this game with some really poor decisions IMO.

Philbin, currie and longstaff have been outstanding tonight.

How did Bentley get away with mouthing off after he scored his try? And why would anyone with even 1 brain cell believe it was necessary? He got a lucky bounce & struts like he's Ellery Hanley.

He is a thoroughly unpleasant grub with zero redeeming features

Shame but nothing to worry about really. We weren't going to catch Saints in the table and our misses tonight will cause St's more trouble next time (if we play them) than Lomax will do to us. The bounce of a ball and a try against the run of play beat us tonight. Nothing there to make me fear them in knock out football.

Something really needs to be done about Bentley though. He has no interest in playing the game and just wants to talk crap and cause injuries. He reminds me of playing for Rylands just under 20 years ago, every game would devolve into a fight due to one player on our side in particular just wanting things to kick off. He's like Connor turned up 10 notches except Connor actually has skill to contribute to the game. He is a grub of the tallest order and seeing Philbin knock the twunt on his was a highlight.

Yeah agreed. Lucky tries really.

I feel we got it wrong going for the 2 when we were 8 behind. Really dissapointed with the referee performance of Moore. I think he made some baffling decisions that all went in saints favour. The ruck officiating was appalling.

They won't miss Bentley he is nothing but a grub.

Call Bentley what you want, we let him play that game and get to us. Neither Currie nor Hughes are ever going to "deal with him"

You forgot LMS, and that pooh house who was full back for Hudds (amongst others) about 15 years ago

True.
We lack a Ben Westwood type, who can deal with such "situations"

I think you'll find the referee lets him play that game. If anybody reacts to it, they'll be binned, which is what he wants. Silly take. He has nothing in attack and only defends 3rd man in with his fist balled. I'll stick with a one Currie over a million Bentleys.

Poor second half but without Mamo’s ball steal + Lineham’s brain fart could have gone our way but can’t fault the effort but thought we missed Cooper.

Can blame Bentley the ref till the cows come home truth is certain pp layers let us down i.e lineham for his daft play glad he's going was never a fan..was widdop playing tonight.oly seen him at the end when he got carded another one that can go...and get some tissues for wilkin in commentary box the way he's describing Percival try
