i can't believe the ammount of ball we coughed up in the second half, and then there was the 5min ping pong ball period in which both teams coughed one ofter the other. congrats to batley, they never stopped all game and contributed to great match. i can't fault our guys effort all afternoon but somethings just didn't go for us, and as soon as we lost coyle i felt it was all back on thacks shoulders.

on to the clown, i thought he made at least 2 disasterous (well against us anyway). first was the knock-on/incorrect ptb that led to their second try, how in the hell did he come to the conclusion that it was interferance? it was clear as day there was no such thing - let alone the replays to confirm it. and the second howler was the pen awarded just before h/t. at worst he lost the ball in the tacke and at best he attempted an offload (being very generous there). those 2 decisions cost us 8 points and may have put the match in a different direction - who knows. i mean i'm not taking anything away from batley, but this boy is just not up to scratch for this level - let alone sl.

Nice picture of Lewis...

There's more backbone in that picture!

Actually a celebrity octopus would be a far better controller of our great sport than Woods and Lewis.

Could you fit Woods or Lewis into a jar? Remains to be seen. Could Woods or Lewis unscrew a jar? Only to put in the ashes of our dead sport. Could Woods and Lewis emit ink in times of trouble? Imagine the extra revenues from Rymans if they could.

Gotta say I'm pro octopus here.

The positive of an octopuss would be that it could juggle multiple tasks too.

He'd certainly show more logic than the last franchise announcements did!
