We have some repeat offenders right now that will lose us tight games against the better sides. I do like Miller going forward though. If he can steady his play a bit in our 20 he’ll be a weapon.
On the first try it would have been far more advantageous to have been given the penalty try, imagine losing by a point. Handley clearly would have scored without being fouled as he managed it with being fouled. Kick infront of the sticks could have been vital. As he didn't have possession I presume he couldn't be in the act of scoring, so couldn't have the additional penalty like the Newman score.
I guess you always have to check for the try first but what happened benefited the team committing the foul.

We do have some puddings in the team, Sangare is one of them.. for his size he doesn;t do much for me. Bentley has endevour but there must be better out there for the money.
Agree on Fusitua... great when fit... fit being the operative word.. gone miss at least 1/3 of the season again..
Think we are missing some real biff up front.. we need a Barrie Mcdermott style prop..
Will ake a judgement on MoM and Frawley after 8/10 games... but to be honest i think they are gonna be duff signings.
Frawley was pants at Hudds and not much better in the NRL.
Saints and Wigan have much better squads.
A finish of 4/5 is probably our best expectations with our squad... we just need players to actually run onto the ball and not take it stationary.
What we really need is a few more top fans like KJR Rhino, with support from the likes of him we would (I am sure), win everything every year, Maybe even Gary makes him head coach, if his/her predictive ability is as good (pre) judgement maybe he could see a special recruit. FWIW, 4th/5th is rather what I am expecting as it shows progression from 23, Good entertaining rugby such as we had on Saturday would be progress. The difference being if this happens I will consider my season ticket money well spent.
The past is full of regrets The future of unknowns We must live in the present.

A penalty try isn’t an 8 point try, you have to take the kick where its ‘scored’ and don’t get another go

A penalty try is awarded between the sticks. A penalty try can't be awarded though if the try is actually scored. So in that sense a penalty try more or less guarantees you 6 pts, which, everything being equal, so does an "8 pt try".
