What I didn't understand was after you went two points up and Richards kicked out on the full, why did you tap the ball?

Why not kick it onto touch (or go for goal) and eat the clock up.

Very poor captaincy.

We should have put the ball in touch which would have give us better field position and wasted some time.

I think they were being cautious as with us having our first 4 or so kickers out they were concerned they wouldn't reach touch.

I'm pretty sure foster could have found touch but I agree I think we was concerned we'd not find touch and give the pies the ball.

As I said I didn't understand that decision and the captain must take the blame.

Saints Fan probably thinks they should have passed the ball to Wigan.

Does she know anything about the real game?
I sometimes get embarrassed at her posts.

I've asked her again has she watched the recording of todays game.

Actually, if you read your post again surely you will see just how stupid what you said looks? If you don't see that then you need to go to specsavers old man.

As I've said, she's never played the game and can't seem to grasp that it's a tough, fast and high impact game.

Shes ok tho IMO and always there for a heated debate if I've fell out with the mrs.

Should I stand to attention?

Re: Wheeler : Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:03 pm  

there were other things in the game that went against us, the incident with wheeler being the big talking point. i hope the kid gets back from injury quick as players for stand off are now few and far between for us... however having said that i also thought that when we got the penalty to go 24-22 in front, we should haverun at them and gone for a try or at least forced another set thus tiring their defence out further rather than giving them a breather by taking the two!

however we should have played to the whistle and not have allowed them that stroll in for the win when we looked like we had switched off.

Scott Moore took a nap. If he could have just waited two minutes longer, he could have had a really great sleep in!
