What some Fax people seem to be forgetting is that it's ok to say Ben Black's cockup lost them the game, but we dropped the balll over the line TWICE in that match (Dodd, Hall).

We catch either of them and it's game over way before Black even does his little party piece.

OK, so both sides made mistakes (although I cant remember your lot losing the ball over the line?) but how much more potential improvement can you see in Widnes?

We played nowhere near our best but still came close to winning, so dispite being down because we lost yesterday, I am positive for the rest of the season, and hope to meet Widnes in the Grand Final to put the record straight

you have a squad of loan signings. Cant see them staying with you as they will want to go back to their SL teams.

We have 4 loanees actually which is far from a squad of loan signings.

Five drives and a kick!!! Enjoyed the Kick and Clap of the Lions much more than your lack of invention, up the middle and wait ofr a penalty tactic!!

It's called applying pressure, forcing the error/penalty and gaining territorial advantage. A fairly elementary tactic in RL so I believe...

Anyone see the picture in the trade papers of one of Thackerys tries where he appears to be short of the line and dosnt look to have control of the ball?

I don't suppose there was any pictures of that blatant obstruction that led to your last try, was there?

Or maybe the one were you clearly knocked on before another?


The best team on the day won... end of.

Get over it.

You're also forgetting Morrison's little gift for them in the first couple of minutes..

As you might see from my other posts today i am well over it.
As for the obstruction and knock on the video will tell all. I was just making an observation off the picture that was in the paper.
You deserve to enjoy your moment because with Cullen at the helm i guarentee the cracks will start to appear again all too soon.

It's a still photograph,a snapshot of one milli-second.The movement is not complete at that moment and Thackeray appears to have momentum.
