I couldn't agree more with the original poster. I am often exasparated at how we give away stupid penalties, but the two yesterday made me livid. I trust Rob has made it clear that there can be no excuse for letting everyone down in this way.

Pryce and O'C are as bad as each other in defence. O'C does well enough in attack.

One peculiar moment I recall from Sunday was when Kouparitsas' shirt got completely ripped to pieces in a tackle. He went to the bench and pulled on a new shirt and several dozen people in the posh seats broke into a ripple of applause. There was argument on here last year about whether or not players deserved to be applauded off the field at the end of particularly poor performances - but applauding someone for putting on a shirt? That's ridiculous!.

We noticed that as well

I can only remember him dropping one too. He's pretty strong bringing the ball out from deep in our half but he does need to attack the line with more a lot more conviction. He had a golden opportunity near the line in the first half but seemed slow to react and then took the wrong option IMO. Improving though.

Dave Williams played for Featherstone against Halifax on Thrsday evening. The first time he went near the ball he and a team-mate had a nasty collision resulting in Williams breaking his nose quite badly on his team-mate's shoulder. He played on for around another 30 minutes bandaged around his face "A-la Andy Farrell" a few years back. He had lost the bandaging, but was sporting two partial shiners at the Stoop on Sunday afternoon. As to whether he is back with us, or just having a weekend away from Fev, I don't know
