Sorry brigarmy but the lad playing 12 spent the whole game either leading in with the point of his elbow or coming in 3rd man with his forearm/elbow. Anybody can smash someone like that. He got his backside handed back to him at Hindpool for the same thing and should have walked there for use of his knees. If he sorts his technique out (obviously a strong aggresive player) then he would go well. Unfortunatley I thought he was a liability for you yesterday and was the cause of a load of piggy backs up the field for us.
Generally the game looked very tough and I think our defence and determination shocked you. I dont think you expected the game to be as tough as it was having given us a pretty good hiding at your place. The ref made a few bad calls but trust me, we did our homework at the Hindpool game and it was our game plan, not poor refereeing, that won us the game in the 2nd half. Some strange decisions (we had at least 1 perfectly good try disallowed) but we knew that if we toughed it out you would become ill disciplined.
Finally thank the big lad who mouthed off after his 2nd half try...It spurred our lads on nicely
Glad you all got home safely and good luck for your remaining games. See you in Div 2 next year
