100% this. It's atrocious. And 3 of them in the 15 mins after half time which undid all the good work.

Clear head butt in front of linesman. Brown knocked on for his first try in front of same linesman. Keyes should have sent DFJ away. Fantastic shape, line and passing for Evans try - why don't we do this more?

Davies, Halton and Harrison outstanding for them. England our best signing for a while. Lots of effort but some of the defending was dire.

Coulda shoulda woulda for me.
I never really expected a win so wasn't exactly devastated to lose, though it was poor defence which let us down, defence which has been, fairly mixed at times but largely good this season.
Anyone else totally surprised that two professional sides would let in 66 points on a narrow field like that?

Think it was Liam Moore if I remember correctly, who has just refereed the cup final I believe.

Yeah that game was a total disgrace and I don't think I've come away from a game more angry than that. It was the touch judge who I was more furious with. He conveniently missed Keyes being knocked out, he was getting some right stick from the crowd as a result. A minute after that incident he came on waving his flag dramatically over a technical infringement by us. Classy.

I agree with this as for the pitch I think it's an optical illusion.

You lot got any half backs back for Sunday? Brough and Lilley due back any time soon? Keyes now out for this week.

I don’t think so unless we get a surprise return which would be pushing someone too soon.

We had a few fail late fitness tests so you would hope they would be back but we are likely to be without much direction this weekend and with fax bang in form I am expecting a fax win

I would have fancied our chances more 3 weeks ago but our last couple of games we have not been great. I still hope home advantage will be enough but I won't lie Im going to fancy our chances more if you don't have any recognised half backs.

It's always a tight game vs Fax but without anyone with a decent kicking game or anyone capable of dictating play we'll struggle.

Well, you've every reason to fancy your chances and our half-back situation only adds to that. The Bulls are, sort of, tantalising us a bit with the notion that Jordan Lilley might be fit but I think it's a bit too early to be honest.

Maybe they're just trying to put doubt in your minds, maybe he really is getting better a bit quicker than thought - I dunno. A broken rib is a broken rib and he'd be very brave/stupid to play before it's ready. I'm far from sure just one half would get us the points anyway - as long as the lads picked do their best, no one can complain.

Agree and if Lilley does play I’m sure he will be tested to see just how much that rib has healed. And I don’t mean that in a ‘grub’ way just smart competitive play.

I can’t see us beating fax at the shay with one, half fit, half so I wouldn’t risk it.
