Watts really had a total blooming brain freeze
And could have cost us as we certainly hung on
If the Washy try had stood I think it's comfy for us from there on
Wake up with running into defenders Please

Thought Wakey played very well last night particularly in the first half. We were pretty poor first half, completion rate was shocking and we looked very nervy. Second half was much better but we still looked laboured and showed great resolve to grind out a win which was the important thing. Think Manu was also a big miss for us along with Tuli.
Top marks to Wakey they are a pretty good side and think Chester should get coach of the year for what they've achieved this season.
Think after the exploits of Wembley, the trip to Leeds a few days later and a brutal game against Wigan it was never going to be a great performance by the team in one sense but to grind out the win says a lot about this team.

Fonua is playing incredible in attack and defence. The most in form player in the comp.


Could get you to old Trafford I reckon!

I think with a lot of these it just gives the defender an easy way out of a misread. Just ensure you make contact with the dummy runner and the try will be chalked off. Needs looking at in my opinion.

We're certainly battle hardened, that's for sure. Hopefully we can raise the quality a bit and hold it together for 80 minutes and I don't think we've got anyone to fear.

Hardly think you could call it harsh he gave the ref an easy decision to sin bin.

.... it depends on whether miller was actually tacked - he'd broken free from shaul during the "tackle" and might have played on, shaul assumed he might play on.

If the ref had called held, and miller played on, he would have told him to play the ball.

The same process doesn't happen for the defender.

I think that is what Shaul thought, that the tackle may not have been complete. But it was, and it is classed as a professional foul

Difficult call for the ref as he has to decide if the tackle was made, also difficult decision for Shaul, he can hardly let miller just run off, persoanlly i think a sin bin is harsh, but can see why Bentham gave it.

Thought we looked tired last night but we got the job done and thats what matters.

Hopefully an 8 day turnaround for next week, and Cas likely to rest a few with nothing to play for will keep us a bit fresher.

What happened to Manu? He was a big miss last night

Taken ill.

After watching the game back when I got in the call on Shaul is particularly harsh as Milky clearly plays for the penalty as he pulls Shaul down and holds him and conned Bentham.
Can't believe Bentham actually initially gave the drop goal that Finn missed, to me he looked like a ref under pressure and wanted every decision backing up. I consider him to be one of the better ref's we have but thought he was pretty poor and its a worry that under Ganson they seem to be going backwards.

Would also like to see the obstruction rule looked at too as to be honest its too easy for a defender to make a play for the attacking runner and get away with a bad decision by having a score ruled out.
