as for those moaning about him celebrating to early....why not? the lad was scoring his first try in his debut game for his HOMETOWN club....give the lad a break ffs.
keep celebrating shaun...you deserved it
That's why i'd let him off on this occasion.
I'm sure he'll be told - score and THEN celebrate.

Were he not the kind of character to celebrate who is to say he is not the kind of character to back himself and score the try.
I've no problem with him backing himself, but you see it time and again when players do it. What if he'd dropped the ball (ala Sean Long when he tried to look good sliding over in the mud and knocked on) ?

But he didnt.
A try scorer will go for the line, and it will win you more game than it loses. Hodgson would have passed, Wild would have passed, Brown would have passed etc, a real talent took backed himslef and i applaud it.
If we played percentages should Tomkins not have passed the ball on his try?
You cannot advocate coching the flair out of players.

Therefore on this occasion we let him off due to the occasion, but tell him next time to score the try as close to the posts as possible and then celebrate away.

You are of course technically correct but on this occasion he deserves letting off and I think whoever it was who told him off after scoring his début try wants his head testing. A quiet word after the game would have sufficed.

True next time he may look for the supporting player who is not there, he may throw the pass and see his supporting player drop it, or he may back himself like any true try scorer does and cross the line for 4 point.
