Having watched the game from the Northstand and listening to some of the drivel from some of our so called supporters. I even heard that we should have picked Lineham at Halfback (I could not believe that I heard that) and the slagging off of some of our players . Personally I enjoyed the game and thought we gave stains a good game ( Sean Long ? ) If not for a few unforced errors and a try given when an attacking player was offside (LMC) with luck we could have won that game. If they turn round and say that they didnt play there best game it wasnt because they were bad bad it was because we didnt let them. MOTM Bopper, Mason Lino, and Matty Ashurst.

Tough call on players being drafted in to stem the tide and expected to perform miracles, it was never going to happen in reality. Crofts was decent ,but up against Percival it was always going to be a tough ask, And for me that’s the standard he needs to aim for going forwards . No one can fault the enthusiasm of Franco ,but brain farts at crucial times cost us dearly as did Eseh’s ball losses I feel ,but he also put a ferocious tackling stint in .If Lino’s wayward pass had found it target it was a certain walk in try , if Dagger hadn’t have got injured, lots of ifs and buts to mull over in the coming days . We were up against a battle hardened team in Saints and we came up short but there is no disgrace in that as many a team can testify to ,but for us especially it was a bitter pill as a bit more composure at crucial times may have had the desired effect

We had no luck, plenty of effort.

Looks nasty but I've gotta say, he's committed to the tackle. I don't know how players are supposed to pull out in this situation.

I disagree. It's not like he was off his feet with momentum. He consciously hit him after the ball had gone.
Look at it the other way round. If Hurrell had the ball, would he have had time to side step him? I think he would

No good to us now though. Dagger out and Hurrell ban won't affect us at all.

Which is why a video ref is needed at all games.

Doesn’t even look like a proper tackle to me, irrespective of lateness

Agree. Hurrell drops the shoulder into Dagger - no wrapping of the arms. This might not have saved Daggers collarbone, but would be more akin to a regulation tackle. And on that basis should be considered a shoulder charge?

That was a thuggish tackle by Hurrell,absolutely he could have pulled out.Deserves a hefty ban.

I’ve seen a few of them go for at least a yellow this season. Looks like a shoulder too. I’d expect a few games for that. Shame it was missed at the game and a shame it’s likely ended Daggers season.
