Aaah, the old Northern
fighting spirit in evidence again, I see.
Soundly beaten in the ruck AGAIN and I'm sick of seeing us miss tackles after an offload. We can't handle them.
You mean the team guys like Walmsley, Sav, Percy, Vea (when on) were punching holes through all night? The side which couldn't have gained more assistance from our two halves had they bribed them with a million pounds pre-game?
In case you don't realise - unbeatable sides shouldn't be
clinging onto a four-point lead with twenty minutes to go with the opponent having all the momentum and rightly fancying his chances.Some of our lads played as well as they have all season tonight. Certainly Sav. Unfortunately fifteen men (who were cut down to thirteen by our rotten injury luck) were badly let down by two.
Sure, some of you can say it wouldn't have made any difference had Vea & Greenwood stayed on, or Walsh made every tackle and kicked into space as often as he put it down Hardaker's throat, or Burns broke the advantage line at any point - but we all know that's pure bull.
Given our complete ineptitude in the halves I'm amazed we played as well as we did.
