Quote ="Father Ted"I think Noble just got the tactics wrong.
We dropped the ball, 3 times in the first three minutes in our own 20 mtr. Then got away with a disallowed try. Right call!
We were trying to play fast hands & feet rugby in our own 30 mtr area. Massive mistake.
Sam T kicked down field to Mathers they made a mistake, they never recovered and we scored a good try. A pen gave us the same field position deep in their half, they made a mistake and Richards goaled.
Then we tried to go back to throwing the ball around in our own 20 mtr area again.
Lost ball, wire try, two minutes later another wire try. A further knock on and yet another Wire try. 8-0 to 8-18 in less than ten minutes all through trying to throw the ball around in our 20-30 mtr area.
And what stopped our revival? Last 10 mins Briers kicking the ball to Phelps early in the count and making us play in our own half.
In the middle of the park it has all been said on here. Prescott & Coley were ok Feka & Fielden were dreadful. Piggy off too long.
F & F are not going anywhere until end of 2010. Something has to be done now to add strength to the pack. As Bailey is out for the season Mossop is a must. Flanagan must be included too. Noticed that Farrell was 18th man & not Pryce. Surely a sign of things to come.
If Bailey is released then there will be plenty money available for a new prop. Suggestions Flanagan could be off too so an amount there.
We're going to need every penny we can get to bolster the pack. Right now if Griffin was available and cheap as chips I'd bring him in. I know it won't be for next year but something has to happen after that display!'"
Riddell was injured, which is why he was off for so long.
