Lets make no mistake this is most definitely a point lost rather than a point won. I can only assume the players were wondering of how many points they were going to score and by the time they realised that they were in a game Haven had been given enough confidence to make it more than difficult. In some ways you could say that getting a point from a game we should have lost is not a bad result but ultimately this point and the 2 lost against Swinton will see us miss out on the top 4.
Simon Grix looked good in his second spell on the field but in the first spell he was blowing out of his backside which is obviously no surprise but I wonder what message it sends out to the players when he is put straight in the first team without having to have a game in the seconds, I thought that were the whole point of having a second team? That said we looked so much quicker in his second spell when he took up a stand off/LF type role.
The biggest problem for me was that is the first time we have come up against a decent pack in a number of weeks and they rolled us over so our halfs never had a chance to find any space and I can hardly remember a clean break which cant be said for a lot of our other defeats. Moore been rested looks like a massive mistake because they were huge and with his quick feet at the line he could have given us a lot of go forward that no one else in the team looked like providing. Also if you finish a game thinking Manning had a poor game then you can pretty much get an idea of how bad we were.
