I thought Mullally was a more effective sub than Singleton and he made more tackles than either Singleton or Garbutt. Yes he is a bit raw but that is to be expected. He could well turn out to be a better bet than Singleton given the Sam chance.

Is that the chance to play with your brothers in the NRL?

The thing I like about Mullally is that he consistently makes metres after contact, he's hard to bring down and he almost always finds his front when he goes down. Good signs IMO. He's not as good defensively but I'm sure he'll get better.

Agree with this.Thought it was Peacock esq the way he seemed to make that couple of extra metres in determined fashion after contact, especially in those conditions.Don't understand the criticism of Golding though;thought he brought the ball back well (don't think he was vigorous in contact but maybe he was a little tentative regarding spilling the ball in in those wet conditions).

thought referee joe cobb had an excellent game 2 points difference and no one mentioned the ref (usually in close games fans moan about refs giving or not giving penalties to their side)

Yep. And it certainly wasn't the conditions for a player with the attributes of Golding. He did nothing wrong though, which is all that matters.

I agree. It wasn't an easy one either. The two big decisions which were the head shots for both sides that should have both got 10 minutes imo, he let go as just penalties but at least it was consistent.

Not from where I was stood, there was one point where Hardaker looses the ball, hull players had hands on but no clear rip and it was given as a knock on, 4 plays later a Hull player looses the ball when we had hands on but no rip and he gave a penalty.

Its those inconsistencies that frustrate fans and players, Burrow even said to him at one point that all we wanted was a fair crack

The losing ball in contact are not easy to get right and you will get some for you and some against.That goes for all refs.

I thought overall he did a decent job for a ref you don't see much of in the big games. Put it this way, i would have him every game of the week over James Child.

Thought he had one genuinely big decision to make on the Watts challenge, and got it wrong despite having plenty of time to take advice and weigh up his options.

Looked to me like the pressure of being in the middle of a big TV game made his backside fall out a bit.
