Hell of a kick and defence push....
Hell of a pass to Mamo.

Dec rubbing some salt and lemon juice on some poor doubters.

And a peach of a kick too.

Then made a howler on the penalty kick and gave a stupid penalty away

The level of stupidity from Patton there was off the scale!

That penalty could cost us the game.

He needs shot with after that just play the f**king ball!!!

Patton and BMM made 2 of the daftest penalties.
Discipline has been an issue all season...now bad discipline has played a prominent role to almost undermine what we did in the first 40.

Great performance by Dec for most of the game. Terrible penalty to give away though.

I really like Austin but he threw a pass to KR, kicked out on the full. How come we only talk about Pattons mistakes?

probably because austin plays well in the majority of games...

Can anyone clarify why Dec was sin binned. In the press its reported as either tackling from an offside position or a ball steal - neither of which I thought were yellow card offences.

He was offside while the team was on a penalty warning for repeated offenses a minute earlier.

Lets not forget the grubbiness of Hull KR that led up to those penalties.

That's not an excuse for biting the bait.
They almost caused us the game...the biggest howlers however came a result of kicks....the whole momentum was turn on its head following Austin being unable to find touch...and further pressure when Patton couldn't convert a penalty and at least make it dead!

4 very criminal none pressure 2nd half mistakes...that were needless.(including the possesion punches)

How many times do we see a team warning given with nothing done about it when the same team offends again. Hicks was really p$$$ed off with us you could hear it in his tone. A wire player picking his nose would have been binned even if Dec hadn't been stupid enough to give him a proper reason.

Hicks said it was for a ball steal. Nothing to do with offside.

Thanks for clearing that up.

There was a ball steel but from a long way away and no screen it looked a clean take so we all assumed offside.

Well patton had a decent game all in all and my mind was blown by how amazing we were in defence 2 players down. I couldn't careless about the end score or how patton played during the time he was on the field. I've not been that proud for a long time, well guys really well done. A bit more of that and we'll be sound as a pound

That's what took it out of us in the 2nd period and allowed KR to add respect to the score.
I believe we'd have buried them under 50 had we not been defending with 11 men.

The positive is that the team seem to be very unified and prepared to put everything on the line for the team.

I said to my missus that even when you was down to 11 your defence wasnt panicking and was very well drilled, when we tried to go wide it still looked like 13 on 13.
Other way to see it is that we played really dumb against 11 men, going up the middle from dummy half all the time when you have two very experienced halfbacks is criminal.
Well played and good luck againt Saints in the semi's

Patton's pass for the Mamo try was class.

As was his kick and chase to force the drop out.

Terrific game today. Inch perfect kicking, a few lovely long passes and kicked every goal.

Seems to have improved his consistency... Doing the job well at the moment

Was very good today. A much braver performance.
