Quote GetThemScallyWags="GetThemScallyWags"Talking crap am I? I know what I saw and I saw them running the ball far quicker and far harder than we did showing far more enterprise in backing up and getting offloads away in almost every tackle.
If anyone is talking crap it's not me. You can't even make your mind up as to who played better!
On the one had you're saying we weren't out played and in your next sentence you're saying they looked the better team for long spells, yet over 80 minutes we looked better?
How can any team look better over the 80 minutes when you state yourself that they looked better than us for long periods of the game?
Their offloads could quite easily have been stopped if we'd dominated the tackle and covered the ball, just as the way they were able to do that against us!
We were outplayed and largely out enthused for a major part of the game. Were it not for the glimpses of class we know we're capable for the brief spells in each half where we ran up our scores we'd have all been on here bitching about yet another pathetic and unnecessary performance.
Full credit to York. The scoreline flattered us immensely, 44-18 certainly does not tell the full story of the game. 18 of those points were scored in a 10 minute spell where we should have then put the game to bed, but we didn't until very very late on.'"
Any team that wins 44-18 has not been outplayed!The scorline, especially one that lopsided doesn't lie.
We were the better team for the first 15 mins, for the next 10 mins it was pretty even, then for the next 15 mins they were the better team.
In the second half the first 10-15 mins was even after that we pretty much dominated. So break it down over the whole 80 mins we were the better team but from 15 mins in to 15 mins in the second half they edged it.
To say we were outplayed is outrageous.
We scored 8 tries to York's 3 and you say we were outplayed. Fair enough I bow to your greater knowledge of rugby league.
