I can't really add much to what's already been said. I think it's possibly the worst defensive display i've seen from us under Kear. It reminded me of the sort of games we seemed to have in 2015/16 when we seemed to concede soft tries every week and then rely and rely on our attack to try and get us out of jail.

I wonder if Jy will be posting pictures of the non exsistent defence for half the tries Swinton scored on Sunday.Please can we just move on now and concentrate on the massive game coming up on Sunday.

Watching that last try, if any of Peltier, Margrin or Pickersgill are dropped none of them can complain. Why on earth did Pick go high. If he goes low he at least slows him down for Jy to tackle him.



Kear has some decisions to make. Does he bring in Brown for Pick? Sadly I think we'll see Grant brought in for Ethan which is a travesty as Ricketts is scoring tries for fun in the reserves.

Well like most rules in RL it seems I cannot keep up! Since when was a raised flag not an indication of a player being in touch?! I find it bizarre that a ref would overrule the touch judge in that position so I would have to assume the touch judge didn’t rule it out with any certainty. The touch judge obviously hangs back initially to in theory get a better view of the touch line.



In any case it was split seconds between the ball being ground and the hand already being in touch so you can hardly blame the officials in real time whilst running the line.

OKay this is not particular to being in touch.

If linesmen saw an offence in general play then they were told to hang bacck for a few seconds before again following play. The ref should see that the liney is well behind play and then consult with him about the offence. The idea was that the crowd would not see linesmen flagging and then being overruled by the ref thus giving the impression they were all of one mind. THis may have gone out of the window now everyone seems miked up.
