Finally for the first time we don't let 20 stone props bully are 20 year old athletes (generalisation I know) and we get called 'dirty' superb!
Sheffield have a cracking side which is well drilled and well balanced and I think they'll go far, but did a Ref ship 44 points at home? Smithy as an old style hooker & skipper will always be chirping in a ref's ear... Lowes, Cunningham etc. Ref should be stronger, I agree 19? There where players on the pitch that will have been pro longer than that and though the RFL don't like to admit it the Championship is a much stronger league than the one's these guys will have reffed in previously!
Sensible post, as I'd already acknowledged our inability to see out games which are virtually won will come back to haunt us at the end of the season.
