Quite frankly it was quality fullback play and no less than you should expect from a player with the rugby brain Sam has. I've heard shouts of referees shouldn't allow it. It's poor defence and nothing more.

Said at the game Widnes wouldn't have conceded a try like that last week and it was Londons lack of urgency in defence that cost them. It was a battle of 2 teams that just wanted to play with ball in hand yesterday and that summed it up.
Widnes smelled blood last week and even at 18 points down kept slogging their guts out. They've been that bad this year that conceding only 36 points to a Wigan team missing their 5 best players was a super human effort. On the other hand a much better side in London yesterday looked up for the battle in attack but in defence they just didn't look interested and another long season could be in store.
loved the try but looking at the replay i thought the ref had to give a whistle to say the ball is back in play but all child did was nod his head at sam
