Quote: DemonUK "Managing to defend all these sets is great I suppose. But ask yourself, why are we having to do all this defending. How many times did we threaten the Featherstone line in that 2nd half. Twice? Three times? How many times did we have to drop out? Losing Paterson was a blow and Hock swearing at the ref for his yellow along with Actons yellow could have cost us the game regardless of whether one or 2 Fev players should have been yellow carded.
Does anyone know what Childs put on report just before a scrum in the 2nd half?'"
100% agree Demon. I am not defending our performance. It was sloppy, error ridden and undisciplined. The 2nd half today was ridiculous. We just didn't seem to touch the ball. Think we only got into Fevs half 3 times. Twice won penalties and took the 2, the other time we scored a try.
The number of repeat sets was ludicrous due to constant penalties. We would soak up all the pressure then as soon as we got the ball back we turned it over! Weston's daft offload, Kay's knock on, we just kept giving them the ball back time after time and then having to defend even more.
The pick of the bunch was after defending about 5 straight sets on our line, we finally got the ball back and Child bizarrely pulled us on our own 40 for an incorrect play the ball (out of the other 100 incorrect PTB's in EVERY game?!?!) and we were right back under pressure again for another couple of sets.
We had no right to win that game with a completion rate like we had today. It must have been around 30% in the 2nd half which is pathetic for a full time team, or any team really.
We can still score with relative ease when in good territory. We had far far less chances than Fev today but were pretty clinical near the line. We just never got near the line because we never had the ball.
Today we played some of the dumbest rugby we have played all season. Plus Child hammered us in the penalty count 2nd half as well as putting 2 men in the bin whilst allowing Griffin to attack people all afternoon without consequence.
5/10 performance at best. Must improve for Batley next week!

I wonder how many we would concede with Thaler in charge?
) you can be a thousand miles from Fev, hear the half time score and virtually know which way a team have played! invariably the scores even out in the second half so teams collapsing, isn't a fair assumption! Batley's ground is exactly the same! Maybe the LSV could install a tilting system to help Fev and Batley feel more at home
