We was four points down and people was saying its game over. Do you agree if a team is 4 points down then it's all over? Anything can happen in RL. I didn't think we would win but as long as we're in touching distance I'd remain confident and upbeat!
Anyone who has played the game would have known four points isn't exactly a big margin. As a mod I thought you might know the game of rugby. Saying that you have probably spent too much time pretending your some kind of Internet police officer.

Care to explain?
A 20 point defeat at home despite our injuries still isn't great, especially after been 14 points up, real basic errors from the players.

Hardly. Our bench was always going to see us fade badly. Apart from the two mistakes either side of half time the rest of it's been down to our lack of players.

| I'd have hoped it to be a vicious circle, the lower down the league you are the more defending you normally do and more fatigued you get, hence more injuries. I like how we are always an exception.

The fact is that it WAS game over, so the people saying that were right and you were wrong.
Simples.
Optimism is fantastic but doesn't actually change reality.

You have no idea like me as we haven,t seen the game, I really didn't expect us to get beat by this much though.

How does us getting beat by the top of the league with 9/10 first team players prove anything other than Hudds are a great team at the minute and our youngsters have put up a brave effort and been beaten by a better team? With a full team out this would have been a much closer and more competetive game and taking that lead into the second half with a full team may well have seen us go on to win

There's a difference between not being 'great' and being embarrassing. We're playing at home to a side who are top of SL and virtually full strength. We have;
McKinnon, Yeaman, Horne, O'Meley, Heremeia, O'Carroll, Westerman, Aspinwall and Bowden all missing. Also Tony Martin is obviously half fit too.
If you think this a bit embarrassing, i can't think how you felt last year. Personally, I'm proud of how the squad took the lead and am anything but surprised that they weren't able to maintain it with a very weak bench, especially compared to Hudds.

Fair point, especially given the quality of the commentary from The Doyle and Chico. However it sounds like we've just been pounded into the ground - quite literally men against boys.
I expected a 20-30 point loss TBH. My hopes were raised for a bit in the first half but reality soon asserted itself.

| I didn't expect us to win with our team but if we're only four points down in a game of RL I wouldn't count us out. I guess when we play Widnes or a poor SL team they best not score first as it will be game over according to most of you rugby fans. I posted the comment earlier when we were still in touching distance. I would agree with you if we was 20 points down or so! If you have played rugby you will know four points is nothing.

I'd settle for no more injuries between now and the hooter TBH.

Fair points personally I expected us to perform better, even with the players out.
Maybe I am being a bit harsh, need to get some bodies back.

I feel that you think your some kind of police force, who doesn't know much about the game and has never played. 4 points is nothing so how is it game over! Fair enough if we were 20 points down at that stage!

Rubbish. Four points down against Widnes is completely different to four points down against the league leaders with half our squad out. And it's not just about the score, it's about the way the game is moving and who has momentum.
For someone who clearly thinks highly of his RL knowledge you seem to be a bit shaky on the basics TBH.

| With that side we were only ever going to be very lucky to win against the league leaders;
the first half showed that we had the game plan, but ultimately , the lack of experience showed
