Couple of weeks in a row from Che moaning about slow play the balls. In my humble opinion, yesterday was very painful to watch at times despite the 9 try's. Is it simply new interpretation of rules allowing defenders to hold down for longer or was it just Ganson and Childs having a couple of poor games?
Leeds v Wigan didnt appear to have any such problems on Saturday

There was a point where one of the London players were called for a foul on Westwood, I think it was for holding down/having a second pull. It was clever of Benny because the London players had stopped us from having a quick play the ball for the three or four tackles before that, but Benny just ran at them, dropped to the ground without them being able to get hold of him, then got straight up to play the ball, the London players obviously wanted to slow him down but Benny thought ahead and decided to pass on the extra couple of yards gained in the collision by taking that himself and setting them up for a clear penalty. IMO, Huddersfield will try to do this as well so, if needs be, we'll have to go out there with the intention of framing the Hudds players, as we can't go on playing rugby of that pace, even in the poor recent weather.
It was noticeable in the warm up that whilst we were practicing passing along the line and kicking etc, London were practicing wrestling and lying on at the ptb.
