Exactly - you could see that Cats were running out of steam but being a man down makes it difficult to exploit the situation. It was a daft sin binning to get.

It certainly was and I hope Radders tells him in no uncertain terms that he cost us the game.

I disagree we managed to get back into the game and looked in control until Connors kick into touch and the poor discipline. Poor game from Watts, gave the ball away in a good position, gave away two crucial pens, got sin binned and why didn't he just drop on that ball late in the 2nd half instead of kicking it
Discipline is hurting us, made Kelly miss the game, main reason we lost last Thursday and could mean we are without Taylor and Watts for this weeks game

If we are without Taylor and Watts on Thursday we will lose probably. Ellis as well wouldn't be worth thinking about. Ikaihifo and Taii are currently the best prop combo in the league. Only saving grace is hudds have nothing after them. But they do big minutes

It's a shame we missed that tackle though otherwise we'd have won anyway.

Hard to say as only 4 points up with 39 mins left, anything could have happened,very very unusual for Houghton to miss this kind of tackle,maybe shows how strong Bird is.
