We only played for 40 minutes so can't really complain, but the standards of officiating are killing this sport I love. That was NEVER a try

We don't need the conversions if their try isn't given. The poor first half would be moot too as we outscored them 8-0 in the second half.

I've said it for years

A quality goalkicker wins games

Rod needs to spend off season learning how to play rugby. He's clueless and I can't believe anyone wants him in our team. I'd take Lindop or Wrench every day of the week. He's strong and if you run at him directly he will hit you hard. There's a lot more to rugby than that. In rugby terms he's braindead.

The hindsight is, don't play Vaughan for 20 mins

Can't fault very much about that. Home team were always going to throw everything at us in the first half; we were under the cosh but would have only been four points down if it were not for a scandalous decision.

Second half we threw everything at them, completely won the territory but just couldn't find the last route through. Disappointed but not ashamed. Ashton was simply incredible.

Shameful decision, but we weren't good enough in the end. They're the best team we've played against this season, but I hope Wigan batter them next week. I'll enjoy seeing Mikey Lewis get shown up on the big stage as much as I enjoyed Luke Gale getting it in 2017.

Kick the goals we win the game. 1 was not difficult, the other on the touchline but we saw one nailed like that last week when it mattered.

It was in our hands.

Anyway a much better season than I was expecting.

If that try wasn't given, the whole game works out differently, so don't focus on it.

Way beyond expectations at the start of the season. One final, 3rd on the ladder, one score from the GF.

Joe burgess basically admitted he didn’t ground it. Oh well unlucky again and yes missed conversions cost us in the end. Improvement but not a great season unless you get to the big dance.

KR deserved that win, got no issues with it.
Tai, i like him defensively 90% of the time and he hit's like a truck. But in attack he's just miles off unfortunately. They out powered us and can't really say much more.
All in all i've loved this season, best season we've had for a long time in terms of how we've played and effort etc.
I think we need a specialist centre, 2nd row, quality half and another big bulldozer of a prop. Bullock isn't gonna come in and fill that void for the next 2 years.
On to next season now, New signings, new kit and the firework display to look forward too, 2nd year of Burgess bring it on COYW

Some strange decisions off Sam
We lost the game first half
Out muscled first half pack not big enough
Thewlis is not good enough sorry
To miss that first kick criminal cost us
And a bad decision on their second try
Why Vaughan not on earlier he only one who went forward ??
Glad c back of
Bateman taking up some one else’s shirt
And Drinkwater to
Much better season all imagined so massive steps forward
What might have been ….

It was not Josh Thewlis fault that we lost that, it's a crying shame that people are blaming that loss on him.

We played for 40 minutes only and wtf was the decision to bench Vaughan for over half the match??

Blaming Thewlis is mental, he had a great game and saved us on countless occasions when their entire game plan in attack was based on trying to pressure him.
