During the period that wakeman and clough were on we looked like a championship side going forward. Neither of these two are anywhere near superleague standard and when we come against a GOOD pack, god help us once we are into the interchange.

I'm not sure that Brierley actually took the ball to the line once in the whole match, and we really are not good enough to afford to be playing someone who's only role is to back up breaks and make an extra passer in the line.

Large periods of the game we forgot to actually move up in defence, even on the line!

Positives for me, were that we showed far more menace near their line, and actually used the possession we got in that area well and converted it into points.

Leeming is a very very good talent, he is still far from the finished article, but his scooting is now very good, and his footwork and ability to feign and pass like a halfback means that he could really be something special. He is still taking some bad options at times, but with more experience he could really turn into a special player.

seen the taai tackle on replays

just going in for a big hit, are players not allowed anymore? not taai fault he was going down at the time just getting tackled milli seconds before, surely accidental

You just know that if there was no injury there that wouldn't have even warranted a look! Well precedent set now- so expect it to get brought up for similar tackles not charged!

yeh can only think taai has got the ban because of an injury sustained by accident

And the way Webster spat his dummy. Yet not one single wakey player raised even an eyebrow!

No complaints with the 1 game it's the way of the world these days that any injury sustained is taken into account firstly with the actual incident secondary, all i've read from Wakey fans is about the injury that has been or could have been caused rather than the actual tackle. That's how it goes these days as it seems if a player gets injured it is automatically labelled foul play.
I guess we would be the same if it was one of ours ....

It doesn't help when coaches as well as fans keep drawing attention to any injury caused rather than what actually happened, they hear the coaches say stuff like "i've got a lad in there with a bust nose" and suddenly demand the culprit is hung, drawn and quartered even if it's innocuous.

Don't think Ukuma went into that tackle meaning to injure the lad, he just hit him in the wrong place with the wrong part of the body, wasn't premeditated or malicious just unlucky for both parties really
