If nothing else, the game showed the incompetence on the video referee system yet again.
However, we have been on the receiving end of similarly bad decisions so it was about time one went our way!

It was baffling listening to Silverwoods comments while he was reviewing the footage. It was as clear as day that the ball wasn't grounded but he couldn't se that. The whole system is strange anyway. If the ref says on field decision is a try, shouldn't that be the end of it? Clearly if he then has to refer it to the video ref he isn't sure so shouldn't be saying on field decision is a try in the first place.

Later in the game footage was shown with the zoom lens which clearly showed the ball had not been grounded, simple question why was Silverwood denied these pictures when he was reviewing the try?

Anybody with half decent eyesight didn't need the zoom lens. That was the key turning point in the game.

We were poor from the point of Dobson's brainfart leading to the dropout but for me the turning point was not scoring after 5 back to back sets. Virtually straight after there was the penalty for the tackle in the air which led to McShane scoring. That just knocked whatever stuffing we had left right out of us.

Noticed that Chiss and thought exactly the same myself. I wondered if Child had been told that Milners was a try and was trying to even things up. It does happen.

I thought he sounded very casual when he was making his decision. He should be embarrassed.

Pathetic performance, absolutely gutted to be honest why do we never turn up in the big games?

Also what was Koukash doing on the touchline and apparently in the dressing room again? Fed up of this shambles, no wonder people don't go anymore.

Would he not be concerned about 2 of his players suffering head injuries and the possibility of them both missing the next game? Anyway,watch About 8 minutes in till 14 minutes of this for part of the answer.

MK is obviously passionate and I don't see anything wrong with him helping the team get over a defeat by giving them some encouragement. It's his Club and I'm glad he's that passionate. It makes for someone who cares what the team do, and sees them as guys instead of assets. He makes mistakes, and he does some silly things. But those things are getting fewer and fewer, thankfully.
