I'm with you 99% of the way but I do think that final kick from Lino just took the gloss off the evening.

That kick resulted from the missed conversion because if we had levelled the points then we would only need to set up for a one point attempt. I actually have no problem with the missed conversion it was not easy but I suppose any chance to prejudice a player you appear to not like for some reason only you have a rational for.

There was no glass taken off the evening imo.
I'm proud of everyone of the players who took part in that game. There was no weak link and like others have said we may have been defeated but there were so many positives to take from that game and I reckon DP will be the happier of the two coaches.

Hope his memory doesn't extend to the length of his bitterness towards Lino as it did against Scott Grix after his error against St Helens.

I'm a great fan of Lino and have championed him regularly throughout his time here but I just was a bit deflated by that terrible kick and would have been regardless of who's foot it came off.

There hasn't been even one other player that I can recall during our SL stay (I'll not go back previous) who arrived with a reputation as bad as Grix for brainfarts. They continued throughout his stay here. My classic memory clip of Grix is him on his knees bashing the floor with his fist as he bemoans yet another elementary error.

The chickens were always going to come home to roost.
