Quote ="Bent&Bongser"Then again, Salford Pete, rang Bongser earlier and, as talk finally drifted away from his crowing, he mentioned a time when Gaz Hock (then Salford) was galloping as he entered the in goal area and collided with the static, rabbit in the headlights ref. Several games ban. GH, fair enough, had previous, surely the McNally case is a waste of everyone's patience!!'"
Several?!?! Think it was 8 IIRC and definitely lengthy because it was Hock.
As to Friday's match I thought your defence was generally excellent and apart from a few drop-outs it wasn't as if we were continually breaking your line or hammering away in your 10m. Both teams dropped a hell of a lot of ball (god forbid we ever go back to winter rugby and actual bad weather!
) and it was far from a classic. I'd expect you to turn Hull over on Monday if you can find a bit more in attack. As for Jack Smith..... dear god he was poor for both teams. Needs to cut his teeth in the lower divisions but with so few options to replace him I can't see it. The standard of reffing in SL is abysmal for our so-called "flagship" league.
See you all again at Magic Weekend.
