Exactly my point!!!!! But it only applies to some.

i was meaning the knock on before that when robinson lost the ball.
Broughs pen kick had the legs its just wasnt straight enough!
also brough when he kicked the ball ahead when he could have regathered it
anyway we should have won the game in the first quarter that is what im annoyed about not taken the chances, should never have come down to all this
happened a few times this season, catalan at magic we also blew it

This is a bit of a knee jerk reaction to forum posts IMO. Cudjoe is a good player but it doesn't and shouldn't make the forum exempt from criticising his poor play. He is potentially as good a centre as Watkins in my eyes but on current form he is behind him. I am not saying he should be dropped or he should automatically retain his position - just saying that last night he wasn't great.

It was a poor decision for a number of reasons most of all that we did not back our selves to belief we could score a back to back try. The worst case scenario as long as we held onto the ball for the full set would be an attempt at a drop goal and I wonder if the fact we are so ill disciplined (though we were much better last night in the main) and the way Wigan beat Leeds influenced the thinking and we thought one was not enough. I rarely think the "take the two" attitude a lot of our fans have works and in close games that has cost us a few times but as I previously hinted at do we have the confidence and belief to back ourselves until we have that I fear we will be adding more and more to a catalogue of could do betters and if only.

| Watching the game I thought the decision to kick for goal was the wrong one as kicking to touch would have meant you keeping the ball and thus keeping Saints down at their own end. And who knows that you wouldn't have scored a 1 pointer. As Ellis had been doing all the kicking I also thought it was strange that Brough decided that he would take the shot at goal.

Apologies.
TBF most refs have a very strange interpretation of the knock on rule that changes from one week to the next. Half the time they haven't a clue what happened and just give the decision based on a whim.

| Quote ="GIANT DAZ"It isn't about individuals, it's a team game and as a team we were pretty good yesterday, attack looked threatening - Let's remember we've scored 34 points away at the current champions and the 2nd best defence in the league - defence was down to missing tackles/wrong choices, yes they are individual errors but i don't like this singling one player out because he was poorer than another, so what ? next week Leroy could be brilliant and Murphy poor !! rather than trying to find a player to pin blame on look at the team game and see where we can improve as a team !!
I was disappointed last night as 4 or 5 times we came back at them and when we had them on the rack we lacked composure or game management to turn the game into 2 point, the top teams do this !.'"
Found this from a posting I made in 2009 -
"I still think we can finish 3rd, but to do that we've got to stop the errors and start putting a bigger percentage of the chances away. It might seem obvious but that's what separates the winners from the also rans."
Not much change there then!
