Hope youve got a local Specsavers.

Just accept the better team won.......made hard work of it, but deserved never the less!

Sorry re last email, no glasses so blind as bat.

accept then that kick went over (though i was behind and did have my glasses. We made too many errors, but draw was the fair result - Wakefield were given toooooooooooooo many penalties by a terrible referee who played to the home team

It was a medciocre contest livened by the tense finish. We were certainly second best overall though, and rarely threatened to score other than when we actually did. We won't often plunder three tries from such a paucity of serious attacks.

We made a bright start, but the turning point for me came quite early with Gale's carelessly flamboyant pass to O'Callaghan that was intercepted for the equalising try. I know it sounds dull and I've got the wonderful benefit of hindsight, but if we'd just kicked a straightforward penalty instead of running the ball when already 6-0 up we'd probably have gone on to win. I thought Wakey looked well and truly there for the taking after we'd taken the early lead, but that gift of a try to get them back on level terms fired them up and they always looked the better side after that.

Well summed up!

Said exactly the same thing to my old man......you should have taken the two.........it should have been 8 - nil, but seconds later was 6 - 6!
