| Theres no shame in losing to a team that, on the day, played better than we did. Lets not forget that this team is was chucked together at the last minute under very trying circumstances - the fact that we are already expecting wins speaks volumes for the character and effort of the players, who will only get better with experience. FWIW, I'm amazed that someone of Dale's physique can defend better than Blanch could even dream of!

And the bread joke made my day

its not even a final and he's now taken over Don Fox's missed kick the poor poor lad,
as for the kicking game it was very poor you do need to watch it again, on the day the wind was a bit wild but that shouldn't be used as an excuse
there was good returns by mathers how broke a few tackles and made good yardage
its was just a brain explosion which I can forgive for it

| Quote: TRT "Forgive me if this has already been suggested, but lets assume Dale didn't steal the ball, the game went into the 2nd period of Extra Time and for whatever reason we still ended up losing. Would Dale Morton still be talked down for the rest of his participation in the game?
Everybody move on. I am sure that given his time again Dale would not have made the same decision, and this is just one part of his learning curve. We were all poop drivers once!'"
I just cannot see why people are blaming Dale for losing the game, he is after all a young kid in a big local derby cup game with no second chances. If people take a constructive look at the game the two biggest howlers came from experienced players. They were not Wakefields young kids but Danny Orr and Rangi Chase for trying to pick the balls up and not dropping on them for both of your tries. Without these two howlers Morton would not have been in the position to strip the ball as the game would have been over in normal time. This does show that even the best of players have brain farts but it's always easier stood on the touchline. It was a typical cup tie and neither of us deserve to be in the position of fighting for our existence.

Ha ha best 1 yet. "I cannot see why people are blaming Dale for losing the game" Well my friend there was a man that decided to rip the ball out with 2 seconds left while the cas man allready had a man around him. I.e. this cost us the game we may not have won but by jove it wouldnt have ended like that !!!

| oh and the non kicking, non passing scrum half may have helped you on your way. Put it this way if we had rangi chase or brough we would have won by 40points saturday.

Give it a rest.
Your pointless ramblings used to be mildly amusing.
Now they are simply pathetic.

Did the dropped ball allowing Orr to score not cost Trinity the win in normal time. Or the high shot which lead to the penalty in the 77th minute, or the non-existant tackling that allowed Chase to ghost through a gap to score, or the poor kicks allowing Cas to gain momentum and decent field position, or the failure to take a drop goal in front of the sticks in normal time....

What about the errors over the last 89minutes and 58 seconds??
Granted,it was a bad call from Morton.But that mistake in isolation didnt cost us that game,there were numerous other mistakes/factors that contributed to the loss.
By your flawed logic,a player could play out of his skin for 89 min 58 sec,score six tries pull off numerous try saving tackles,but then make a bad call in the last second.You would then say that player cost you the game.
