Quote: NickyKiss "Looking back at the replay he was a little unlucky on the O'Brien kick. He gambled he'd kick in to the space on his right and had to change direction and scramble across when he realised he hadn't. He didn't have enough time to make it in the end.
His big error for me was how slowly he got to the ball that bounced off Laithwaite. He didn't play to the whistle there IMO and it nearly cost us (nor did Burgess for the Monaghan try either).
On the plus side he's got an iffy game out of his system ready for next week. He'll enjoy that big pitch at Old Trafford.'"
I'm guessing the DW pitch is as big as you get as it's a purpose built stadium for Rugby League with full size pitch and none of this try line on the edge of the football 6 yard box that you get at some stadiums and a full 10 between the 30 & 40 metre line.
But I agree I think Bowen will enjoy the big game experience at Old Trafford.
