we cut out the errors and what a difference it makes, our completion rate must have been high.
let ourselves down on the penalties today though, thaler did not help us at all mind.... how can gaskell get tackled head high then have to go off and warrington get off with just a penalty...?? same ref sent off amor for the same thing, just no consistency ...
we certainly deserved at least a point today, warrington just got a roll on in that 2nd half 10min period that we failed to deal with, question marks about both wire tries though but when your down you just dont get the calls.
bit of a break now, dont have to rush players back for swinton
get taai and cudjoe back in and things can get better if they continue like they did today and complete sets
Agreed with the fact we cut the errors out but we don't seem to be able to cut the penalties which cost us today game in my view. We always seem to give penalties away right deep in the opposition half then concede immediately, just like their first try - it makes me want to bang my head against the wall.
We started to knock on a few times in the last 10 minutes but up till then I thought we did excellent completing our sets.
Jake Mamo is going to be some player for us but unfortunately this season its all about survival now.
Darnell did excellent on the wing and should be the start left wing now. Left Centre is definitely a position we need to recruit in the off season though.
We are now 3 points off St Helens in 8th and 4 points off Wakey in 7th, both have a game in hand on us.
Lets be honest Saints seemed to have upped their game since sacking Cunningham and you'd expect Warrington will probably end up fighting for 8th spot with Wakey.
Bottom 4 will be:
9. Wakefield/Warrington
10. Giants
11. Leigh
12. Widnes
To make top 8 we are going to have to win 3 maybe 4 more games than Wakefield in the 2nd half of the season (depending if they win their game in hand) due to our poor goal difference and win more games than Warrington.
Hull KR got beaten by Tolouse today but are suffering majorly from injuries.
Were too good to go down but we do need another clear out come season end but I don't think we will get one.
