Today was an opportunity to redress that and stupid dumb thick penalties together with NOT using an effective strike weapon , and yes Hughes played a blinder, doe's not hide the fact that we could have scored more and being penalised when it was not necessary.
It's NOT criticism, or being, negative it is straight forward common sense!!!
I reckon even the coach will agree.
When we have beaten Dewsbury twice and clawed back the competion points the scoring difference will still be in their favour I would suggest.
Here was an opportunity to put 80 + past them and yet..............
It was a good performance but if in your eyes that was acceptable against such opposition then fine, in my eyes it was good but could have been better.
For Mr Leaguefan
let's put the above point a bit straighter.
Dewsbury's points difference against Workington was only ten points better and they also conceded three tries in the process.
They have played two league games against what you would call weaker sides so their points difference would be inflated (70-0 against London - good defense this time though)
In the three games they have played (including NR) their average points difference against "the weaker" teams is 53.3, ours is 52, not much difference.
PS - They are top for a reason.
