Fully agreed our indiscipline was punished last night. Grix did well at centre. Monas tried to take control of everything in the first half. Losing Woody prior to KO also reduced the impact from the bench slightly.
Two shocking decisions went against us when Matty Blythe got tackled head high and Silverwood classed the advantage the next drive after the off load when it should have been a penalty when we didn't score.
And the other one was when he adjudged either Rauhihi or Westwood knocked on when clearly Rau pushed the ball backwards and Benny kicked the ball forward but still we got pulled up for a knock on.
Briers kicking game was definately missed...even just from penalty kicks for touch......Dobson took his team forward 40m at one point we were managing 10m at best!

I have been, they taken the Primrose and Blue tinted specs of me and gave me real glasses that meant i could see the truth, you must still have the P&B one's on.

Was Cookie I believe, fantastic distance he gains from penalty kicks.
Briers kicking game is nowhere near as good as it used to be - even when we battered Bradford his kicking was average.
His kicking for touch distance is decreasing although to be fair he did OK against Huddersfield. He is struggling to get any kind of distance - maybe he is playing injured and too much reliance is placed on him.
I would love to see Sinfield down at the Wire, he has more of an Aussie style to his kicking, usually finds the ground and has defenders turning.
I agree that Briers does not generally have a great kicking game. Many of his down field kicks are poor. However he would have gained a few extra yards from penalty kicks. Although I say generally his kicking game is not great he does have a knack of producing a couple of gems - well placed grubber kicks or over head to King.
Generally the kicking game wasn't all that great this weekend which it seems many attribute to the lengthy grass.
