Lost us the match really. A couple were dubious, plus we should have been given them for being taken out in the air twice.

Those penalties made us defend back to back sets (we did it well) but they sapped all our energy. We were never going to have the best energy in this one, extra work in defence had to be done to make up for Langley not being there & that comebcak vs Wigan will have meant we weren't 100%.

Anyway, onwards and upwards and lets hope we get a good 80 minute performance next week vs Hull.

My worry is, next week, following 2 games of high intensity - we'll be absolutely knackered.

Lets see how they respond. I hope they come out all guns blazing, they have something to prove.

Ganson was gash but he did not lose us the game. That is naiive in the extreme.

I didn't mean that it was Ganson's fault. Most of the penalties should have stood. I'm blaming us for giving them away, the constant defending knackered us and we paid the price in the second half. Ganson was poo, but I don't think if a couple went the other way much would have changed.

I think we should have been given 2 for the take-outs in the air, would have given us more rest, but wouldn't have won us the game.

The two kicks where both Reardon and Sheriffe were tackled in the air was very poor calls from the the officials. To miss TWO less than a minute apart is just complete incompetence from the officials. Ganson is heard on the commentary as saying 'I've checked them', who did it check it with?

Just watching it on V+ now, they were both clear to see. WTF was wrong with the touch judge's eyes?

And you're right, he didn't check it! Arrogant .

I'm not one to comment of ref's. But he was below his usual good standard tonight.

The two tackle off the ground incidents certainly did not help the Bulls , keeping the pressure on.
Poor decisions by the referee and his touch judges.

They were both certain penalties. The officials were shocking not to see them.

Only watched 1st half of game, and I thought the officials were quite harsh on your guys. I thought he gave you nothing, and was very lenient with Wire.

Agree with that.

You at Hull then next week?

Far be it from me to call into questions the good character of the upstanding gentleman handed the roll of referee...


...BUT Ganson makes me want to spew. That said we showed poor discipline last night both in defence and with ball in hand. How many handling errors did we make?

Need to smarten up next week and other sports based cliches...
