Thanks for making this such a welcoming forum.

Your welcome.

All are welcome.

Just don't expect to talk blinkered nonsense and not get challenged on it.

Reffy, you're this forum's biggest troublemaker, so it's time you give it rest.

That much I have learnt in my short time on here.

You mean that only opposition fans talk blinkered nonsense!

Why would I give it a rest just because my opinion on some things differs from yours? Hardly troublemaking.

To be fair to him, reffy has a point about some of us leythers having the blinkers on when it comes to our own teams faults. Whether we are starting the trouble or responding to niggle from the opposition, we need to cut down on it. We have a good team capable of playing amazing rugby, why not concentrate on that side of the game?

Fev were a grubby bunch of gits on Sunday and I do believe they started most of the crap that went on. But we showed when we concentrated on playing that we could score points easily against them. Imagine how big the score would've been if we had concentrated on playing for the full 80!

Fans by nature are blinkered its the degree that differentiates

Fair point

I'm sure we would like concentrate on playing the full 80. however, like you say Fev started most of the crap, and if the ref fails to handle the situation it becomes very frustrating. Maitua nearly knocked emmitt's yed into next week and the ref was stood right in front of it, and didn't even give a penalty. Now Maitua has been charged with a grade b offence.
And fwiw, i'm not enjoying hock's contribution to the team at the moment.

I think the problem was more the last half hour, where there was a few bits of handbags, when really we could have got on with the game and racked up a few points. Looked like Hock was given the role of enforcer to stick up for the backs, which is fine, but need to be better at seeing when to get involved. The scuffles in the last half hour were more detrimental to our game than Fev's.

As for Hock, jury's still out for me, but some of the reaction to him was unfair when you consider what Wood and Maitua did. But personally, if there is an "enforcer" in the side, it should be Goulden, Beswick or Wilkes.
