Get back under your bridge,



There was 2.5 minutes left and a long drop out wouldn't have gone to half way and would have eaten up the clock and a drop out from an easier position. It was for me a risky play but was worth a go.



It was Duftys housing that got the possession back. Also I thought that Dufty was one of the few players that came away with any credit when players couldn't be d to get behind the line so he could run out the tap from the 20 was shameful.



Lots wrong today but that for me wasn't even the key/worst moment of that match let alone a contender for worst play ever.

Tex Evans "racing" down touchline with shorts round ankles for Salford? v us. Always a great mover!

Ratchford has done that at least twice. He looses the ball often easy because he carries so many in one hand.

Spot on. The short drop was actually on; the ball just bobbled in a really unfortunate way which made it really hard to pick up when it crossed the 10.

Also would have been better if he didn't have two props either side of him, Williams would have been a better foil in that option

I recall Bridge doing something similar against Hull in the 2013 challenge cup semi final and they scored from it, Lineham going nearly full length of the field.





EDIT: Just seen it on YouTube. Good lord it's worse than I remember!

That's amazingly bad, it's about the equivalent of an own goal in football or as close to it as RL gets..

Nah I understand that decision. I feel like even if it was a normal drop out, they'd have made it back up in plenty of time to take the drop goal and we'd have lost anyway. At least he tried to get the ball back for us in that position. It didnt come off, then same result occurs regardless.

Bev Risman in the 60's at Wilderspool had his shorts ripped off when he made a break and in the clear in just his jock strap. He bounced(literally) three quarters of the pitch to score the try.

More dignified than some of the apparel they wear under their shorts these days. Have you seen those garish, Jackson Pollock on speed in a Dulux factory briefs we keep getting an unwanted glimpse of?

Or Brett Hodgsons pass to Matt King in an origin 3 decider (think it was 2006). The ball goes to ground. Queensland pick it up to score to win the series followed by winning the next 7 series.



Massive plays with huge consequences.
