I hope Austin is better quality than we saw tonight as he was pretty useless

I’m sure he will be. One bad game is hardly the yardstick. He’s had plenty of very good ones.

I actually think Austin is the kind of player we need.
OK, he didn't do much tonight, but that was because we were on top.
When Wire got the ball in our half, you can see him come alive and he is prepared to take on the line.
That's the kind of player he is - his eyes light up when he sniffs a chance.
We desperately need that.
With the amount of posession and territory we had, we should have comfortably won that game.
Just a bit clueless in their 20.
I trust the club with the Austin deal.

Agree

I've seen some farcical decisions and referee bloopers but Chris Kendall.... aka, the modern Steve Ganson, is an absolute disgrace. And for Hicks to not overturn that Charnley try is as bad. A screw job if ever I saw 1.

The Wire fans may have a different view hes had more poor games than good, having said that im not against the signing, i rate him and him and Sezer could be great together.

Poor call no doubt but you can't really compare to the Charnley 'try'. Leeds were in their own half and wire have plenty of opportunity to defend that next set. Though let's also talk about the flat pass that should have given Holroyd a try too. Kendal though continues to be a shocking ref.

Counter - Dwyer stole the ball from Charnley with more than one (three?) In the tackle and so should have been a penalty try.

No, Charnleys trying to place the ball down and gives up possession in doing so

Don’t think that’s the rule in the act of scoring a try is it?

I could be wrong though

Countering your counter
Loose carry by Charnley who loses the ball.
At the end of the day or night Wire win by 1 but with some of our players back in the team we can still be a threat as long as we make the 6.

We had enough field position and possession to win that game twice over. Playing with one halfback who takes his brain out of his head for the last few minutes doesn’t help but we’ve been absolutely suckered there…

Tom Briscoe what the absolute….. I really don’t see what people see in him, my heart is in my mouth every time he has the ball.

Why when we were getting done in a bit of an arm wrestle did we leave a prop on the bench for the full game?

enjoyed 2nd half best as a game for a while apart from tb's 2 errors (another of kev;s bad contracts should put lb on wing and o'connor sub) and the farce of a drop goal attempt

He takes the ball from Charnley. He wraps it up and comes away with it, why would Charnley let go of the ball of his own accord there lol, he'd be holding onto it for dear life. Either way it wasn't given as a penalty try or even entertained as one so no, it never did touch the ground and if I was on the end of that decision I think I'd stage a sit in frankly. Though Dwyer did end up in touch and with how papery your defence is we'd have been over anyway
