A mistake laden but compelling contest in my view. Never knew what was going to happen next. Harsh to criticise the players on such a short turn around.
Charnley has reverted to boogering around in the tackle which really annoys me. Toby King still some way off his best.
I’m not sure what the call should have been on the Charnley 2 nd try. My gut feeling was he didn’t ground the ball, BUT that Dwyer stole the ball in the tackle with more than one player involved. I suspect that would then have been a penalty try but Sky were noticeably shy about that issue!
The Newman try was class, but perhaps a little early to deify him.
Akouala putting in his usual stint…
Cooper put in a real shift and Ratchford showing again that full back is his natural position. Danny Walker could and probably should have been brought on earlier.
A win without really clicking.
I still think this is the game for me!
