Come on!!! This would be ace if we could snatch it.

We really are penalizing ourselves by only playing Azza for 30 minutes a game. Hope its just to help him gain fitness with him not having much pre season time.

In other news Cunningham has scored for London.

Shame that. We can't fault the boys effort at all. Did well to withstand all that pressure in the second half.
Discipline is awful though. We could have easily own today if it wasn't for penalties. All three of their trys came off the back of one.

Hard to tell listening to Clark but sounds like the ref gave us funk all

Sounds like they played well on the main, with a few mistakes in not brilliant conditions.

Encouraging if you ask me.

Strange bring on Heremaia so late. Possibly a poor call.

Child sounds like he's had another shocker .

Think this shows why we are not a top competing team yet. Warrington in poor form and we could not come away with the win.

I don't think its a panic button situation far from it but I am disappointed we have not won today.

Decent performance, less errors and without the stupid sinbinning from Shaul we could have got 2 points

Humberside were praising his performance.

That's the first 3 awkward matches over and was expecting only 2pts...now we hit a nice stretch and should pick up some good points now.

Unsurprising.

Indeed.

Looking towards the ref's performance is a bit daft here anyway. In any game your going to get calls you disagree with, it works both ways. Doesn't sound like there where any clangers, and if you do let a player up immediately after a tackle on a break, your always risking a yellow with any ref. That's just the game.

Sounds like in a close game, which on the main is encouraging discipline and some daft plays were the difference.

Radio rovers in shocker

Radford not blaming the ref, saying we were stupid constantly giving penalities on the 5th.

Westerman again sounded good, barring a couple of penalties at the end.
Seems he's upped his game now he's been played correctly.

I think were on the right track, just need to learn a bit of nouse, and stop making our own work!

Good effort defence sounded better and once/if we improve our discipline we might do ok this year.

Not sure about how we are using Heremia though.

If Rankin isn't producing the goods, Miller should be given a chance.

A few comments on the radio about Shaul, so maybe Rankin to FB

Carvell and Tuson to come back makes the selection interesting next week.

don't we ever learn,most close games in sl will be decided by who concedes the most penalties.

I still say it's 50/50 whether the ref gives a penalty or not.
Add in the antics of the player being tackled, and he's more likely to give one.

Basically, it's a lottery.

Why put a stand off at FBI.....bring McDonnell back...he is the better FB

Problem is once a side gets a reputation for poor discipline the refs tend to be quicker with penalties. You lose the 'benefit of the doubt' factor. So we actually have to be cleaner than the opposition just to come out even.

Got to be done, though. SL refs are e and won't get better any time soon. We have to learn how to play them as well as the opposition.

.... I know, it annoying that these penalties can easily change a game.

Another way to look at it - how often does a ref not give a penalty at the tackle, when he probably should have.

Mcdonell gone mate, you only have to read the Shaul interview to see that.

Rankin played more NRL games at FB than SO.

Only going by the radio, so will have to watch the game to get a better idea, but rankin has been subbed the last two games, doesn't happen vert often in games that.

Bingo. It's the decisions that aren't given that have the biggest influence on the game. I'll reserve judgement until I watch the game back but I already know there'll be decisions not given that were the same as others that were.

thank god lloyd wasn`t commentating.
