Dawson is no more a SL winger than I am. He is a spot player due to his defensive frailties. He lacks pace and conviction going forward, his centre never knows where he is. Anyone who saw the opening stages of our 2017 SL debut at Castleford will know what I am talking about.

Willie Tonga's undoubted class and ability to draw in players and free him space covered him for a little but he is not up to this level.

We have better options.

oookay...



Willie was class. But I'd say Dawson has performed incredibly well under testing circumstances. He's been shifted left and right on a weekly basis and has played with a myriad of different centres with zero consistency. Plus, he carries the ball well making good yards. Last season, I thought keeping Kay may have been a better option, this year, Dawson looks the better option. That's my perception.

We have taken the tap a number of time this season, can't remember once where we have benefited from it. You see the Cas and Leeds of this world take the 2 in similar circumstances on a regular basis

At home against Championship opposition ? , no chance

Hard to say, it's very rare we pass out them.

Don't talk tosh, Saturday was always going to be a close affair, don't make it sound like this was a Leeds v fev type game

That was my take on it. We 'should' be beating Championship teams fairly comfortably. But Rovers are a full time squad, the game WAS close, and we had to take the two points, in my opinion. For the same reasons, the ref's mistake on their final try, was absolutely crucial - whether we should or shouldn't be relying on the accuracy of decisions to beat teams.

Absolutely, we were hardly cutting HKR to shreds. If the Ref calls the incorrect the PTB from Scruton that penalty for two points slotted home by Drinkwater would have been the difference between two points and the match won. Or a draw. Full stop.

No doubt in my mind it was the correct decision at the time.
