You started this thread with the word "poor". Perhaps you should think before you type.

Do you honestly think Bentham will be any better next week? I reckon Silverwood was casting the dye.

The standard of refereeing in this country is diabolical right across the board, so nope. The only thing about Bentham is he tends to let a game flow a bit more. As long as we don't come across Terry Albert again I will be happy !

I agree completely. Refs can be a deciding factor in games and the standard is awful not helped by the even worse line people, thats why i raised the point about our poor record with penaltys and the fact that we have been targeted all season.

We were not the best in the first half and their first try was from inviting them back into the game trying to offload in the tackle from their kick off. I thought the half time score of 24-14 looked better for us then we were.

In the second half it was a top class performance. HKR had seven consecutive sets and didn't score. They had no moves that could break the defence down.
The only way through was from a kick.
The second half score of 18-4 to us didn't reflect how good the team was.

And more importantly, one the week after that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
