I came away from the game reasonably satisified although i do think we could have taken 3 points from this one. I agree that we looked really small up front in comparison to the hulks Haven had on show, may be we should be looking at this. We missed a couple of tackles which ended up in long range tries. We did have a spell where we had a few sets on their line in the second half but to be honest didn't really look like scoring. A bit more flair going forward would have opened a few gaps in the strong defence and maybe we could have pipped this one. Overall i am not too dispondant, a good bonus point at one of our notorious black spots. I was pleased after the game that the players and staff we talked to were dissapointed that they didn't win, a good sign i think.
I was dissapointed (this is me being pc) with a number of the haven fans who were calling the ref a cheat on the occasions the calls went our way. Overall i thought the ref was probably one of the better ones we have seen this year. Lets not get too down following a couple of defeats, think about where we were this time last year!! I would like to see some more craft in attack and a little less one man rugby but i am happy with the progress to date. We have a few players who may be able to add something on their return, lets wait and see. Enjoy the fact that we have a team that on their day can not only compete but can beat the best in this league.
And on a slightly different note ...
From the Free PressRyan Steen's last minute try was a mere consolation as Doncaster failed to pick up a losing bonus point.'"
Now anyone can make a mistake ... apart from smart-s like me ..but Steen aside (it was Robinson actually), a mere glimpse at the score would show to Paul Goodwin (the author/reporter) that he had made a howler.
