Sorry I'm not having that. I was sat in East stand in line with the line of the kick. It arced cruelly away from the line of his run...that's bloody rugby balls and our luck.
We played nearly a perfect game BUT...two decisions for me cost us the match. Not taking 2 before half time. I KNEW that would come back to bite us on the bum in such a tight game. Then going for 2, 45 metres out under pressure on a bit of breezy night...I didn't llike that decision and wanted us to keep the ball in our hands and push for a repeat set or 2. We are DREADFUL at making these penalty decisions. I think that's the 3rd game it has ended up costing us the match. So frustrating to play so well but lose with schoolboy decisions when you have the ball and time to think.

Absolutely astounded by some of the OTT comments posted on here tonight about Grix.
It was only a few weeks ago many were commenting on his excellent performance against Leeds.
The guy made a mistake at a crucial part of a game,a game that lasts eighty minutes and within that eighty minutes many things done by individuals contribute to the final outcome.
Weve had a successful season to date and Grix has played his part in contributing significantly towards that success.
Im sure young Jowitts time will come,but i also think Grix has been overall very good this season.

For me, going for the two there near the end is the right call every time in that situation. Yes it was far out, but it wasnt much of an angle, and a goalkicker of Finns capability, was confident it would go over.

I was stood directly behind the posts and when he initally struck it, the kick looked good, think the wind caused it to drift.

What we didnt do was back up the kick. Anyone remember on how Ray Price used to watch penalties, and the Leeds try at Cardiff, in 2007, rebounds leading to tries does happen.

What they SHOULD have done was take the 2 on offer before half time, and shouldnt have been trying to defend an 8 point lead for about 25 minutes.

Let's not talk rubbish. There's not a fullback in the league who wouldnt have dealt with that first time, or at least grounded it or put it dead at the second time of asking.

Told u months ago grix a liability he made a error a 8 year old would make hes let the club and ths city down tonight. Was a minute to go ffs not ten mins just pat it dead u plonker unforgivable... Sack him

Well it was a tough call but "then the wind caused it to drift" was exactly one of the reasons I though don't go for goal, not that I possess clairvoyant powers and foresaw the post hit. I was more worried he would fluff it under pressure and give them possession...the last thing you do with Saints in that position. They are world famous harlem globetrotter game stealers in such situations. Distance isn't Finn's strong suit in goal kicking. The one to take 2 was before half time. I suspected that would bite us on the bum and, as in some other games this season, it did again. Hey ho. I was spitting feathers coming away but the insane comments of some, dragging our team and Grix down, have picked me up. I think we can still do this. As I live in Beverley I shall be attending one of my home games to cheer us on..I hope the team realise the true fans are 100% behind them and Grix plays for me. He might just come good big time if we all GET BEHIND HIM!

And the latter point...yes it probably was the wrong call to defend an 8 pt lead for 25 mins...mind you, did you note Reece Lyne played the whole half injured as did Miller...maybe this influenced matters

Is there some kind of emperors new clothes thing going on with Grix? He's crap end of. Didn't even want to play fullback was reason he left if I remember rightly. Ignoring bombs, joining the line with 100mph grubbers to nobody. Awesome. That error was criminal at a professional standard, he had an eternity to deal with that kick but has probably blown our season. Other than the other no balls Mathers he's the worse full back I've seen down here Blaymire and Holland weren't awesome but did there jobs unlike this clown. Don't allow a young lad to leave to keep this has been please.

The line I watched the last kick on, he was going to kick it and it curved away from him right at the last second. He tried to get a hand on it and lost his footing, probably because he was about to kick it when it curved away. I like Max too. At Cas he fielded a really hard bomb that Grix might not have...then in 2nd half he dropped a little chip I could have caught. It led to a try that made no difference. I thnik you need to get a bit of balance here fellow supporter. Grix has made some great runs, run some great lines, given us loads of attacking options and has also been defensively good sometimes...but does have some dodgy moments I will concede. He was damn unlucky at the end from the angle I saw it at

Most of that is utter horse crap.
He left us in 2010 because he was a free agent.
He went to Huddersfield as a utility back in the season after when Brett Hodgson left for Warrington he established himself as first choice full back.
Our destiny is in our own hands still,you can pick out many occasions over the season that an individuals error has contributed to us not getting a win.Overall his contribution to a relatively successful season has been very good,Im sure young Jowitts time will come,but i also doubt we would still have our destiny in our own hands if Jowitt had been first choice this season rather than Grix and the people that are paid to make those decisions have a hell of a lot more knowledge of the game than you or me.

This

If Grixy had of handled that ball last night correctly we would have won the match and we'd pretty much be in the semis (oh how I have dreamed of seeing us get there)!

But without grix we'd not be in the great position we are in either, make no mistake the majority of the time he's being excellent for us, unfortunately the defensive mistakes he has made seem to be magnified some how

The droppped bombs at Salford springs to mind

Hopefully we'll get some luck in the coming weeks and it will be forgotten about
God knows we all deserve some luck

I did notice that they were struggling, so yes, it could have done.

That then brings the debate back in, why are we having a bench full of forwards. Could have played Brown, with Arundel dropping to bench, or put Williams on the bench
