Any standouts today? Any worries? What was the completion rate

Re: Batley (A) : Mon Apr 17, 2017 8:32 pm  

Very very good team effort.

We played cohesive, structured rugby league with everyone knowing the others role.

Playing up the slope in first half, we scored 3 good tries and then - sorry Mick, sounding like a broken record - the ref came into his own at 16-0 - penalty after penalty after penalty, decent kicking to in goal resulting in goal line drop outs. My facts are probably skewed but we must have defended 4, 5 maybe 6 consecutive sets deep in our half. Total commitment. And Mick all I expect is consistency - there never is any, and please dont try and argue the toss, I am a qualified referee and understand how it works.

Second half they scored a poor try and we then crushed them.

Every man played well, but for me the halves were excellent and Ioane a collusus.

Hey plum refs only give the penalties they are not the ones that commit the offences!
Anyhow it is what it is.
Good to hear we put a good performance together, back to back wins over Easter can get a turning point in the season.
Nice to see both wingers on the scoreboard.
Thanks for the summary mate

Sorry, its isnt what it isnt.

You arent following me.

Fine penalise us - I am not claiming he got any of our penalties wrong BUT, and this is the key, he's set his benchmark, so when the oppo does similar, shouldnt they be penalised ?

Re: Batley (A) : Tue Apr 18, 2017 8:40 am  

Key word is similar! Why did we start getting pinged at a certain point in the game? Probably because the ref had been talking to the players telling them to stand square, move quicker, work harder on the 10 Mtrs, if they fail to respond then he starts penalising until they do! If they start to respond to the chat they will not get pinged as much. That is what happens to both teams.

thanks Mickyb1234 helps having our own on line person to explain our queries

Re: Batley (A) : Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:13 am  

Have to agree with Plum, the referee was poor. The simple fact was that we were penalised for things that for Batley, went un punished.

Re: Batley (A) : Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:48 am  

What sort of offences?

Re: Batley (A) : Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:51 am
