Quote: TV BOY "Gareth Hock made a perfectly legal hard shot on one of their players and Bussey was straight in Stokes face complaining and George blew without even seeing it. He couldn't have because Hock was blocking his view. No swinging arms. That is bad, no very bad officiating. That and the complete one sided way he interpreted the rules was a disgrace. Players can't help getting wound up when things get so one sided but they need to be bigger and better than some of the daft penalties. They should have clicked early on and kept their noses clean. Stokes should get dropped a league now as he lost todays game and it was only due to the fantastic spirit from both sets of players and the way they played the game that it didn't become a brawl because with fools like George Stokes reffing that's how it usually ends up. We took a play the ball today after being held up over the line and he called for the ball to be played with - not most - all the Broncos players at least two yards in front of their line.
The man's a BUFFOON.'"
Well said, I am not sure how they kept their cool as I would have been furious with the torrent of decisions that went against us in the 1st half. We seem to be able to keep our tempers much better than we did at times last season.
10 penalties in a row is beyond anything I have ever seen, we just couldn't get hold of the ball for love nor money. With less than 20 minutes to go and 14 points down I really couldn't see how we were going to get out of that one.
London were in complete control of that game for over an hour. We took control for 5 minutes, scored 18 points and then did what they couldn't by closing it out.
