We only broke the line when Philbin came on.

It did seem like that ref had a personal beef with Dufty. He pinged Dufty for using the ball to lift himself up once (fine), but that Pangai Junior did the exact same every time he was tackled and got away with it all night.

[quote="thelinesman":3voc04mp]Dufty needs to stop running his mouth off, if he keeps that up i can only see more penalties given against us.[/quote:3voc04mp] I mean, I know what he was frustrated about, in the modern game that is a penalty to us - but after how desensitised the game was last year, the early rounds seem to be a little better on that front. He just needs to get on with it and not react.

[quote="just_browny":fzu2ft7m]I was pleased we won. The positives for me were: - Russell's workrate - Walker's leadership - Thewlis's proactivity in defence (thought he was a bit quiet last week) - Fitzy getting a run out To work on: - Leyland and Lindop both dropped off a few tackles - Crowther's brain melt - Dufty getting involved in stuff he didn't need to - King was anonymous apart from his try[/quote:fzu2ft7m] Agree with most of that but I think on the whole Lindop was superb last night. He did fall off the odd one but made plenty and his anticipation was excellent. He also was pretty inventive on last tackle plays with kicks. I don’t think we’d have seen that from Tai.
