Just watched the game which I enjoyed very much ... we could well have come out of that with two points...
three comments though
1) our edge forwards had no penetration at all
2) having no interchange with 12 minutes left in the game is really poor
3) if one player needs a rocket up their booty it Kelepi Tanginoa.. didn’t have the ball in his hands for the whole time he was on the pitch in the first half... during that time Battye was chasing around looking for carries... Batchelor was involved in everything but Tanginoa kept sliding one or two players away from the potential carry... by the time he left the field his contribution had been negligible
And when the opposition are tired and we are one score from winning the game in the last 10 we should be able to introduce our most destructive runner ... see point 2
Oh and d) was there an invisible Trinity player on the pitch that Jowitt used as an obstruction... seemed to me it was a Hull player he doubled back behind to find the gap!
Did you see the Batchelor no try? What happened there.
Spot on. Kalepi had the cleanest kit on the pitch. Honestly not sure why he didn’t seem to get stuck in.
The Jowitt where he wrong footed the Hull players was a strange decision from ref. Nobody in the stands had a clue what he’d blown for. There was no obstruction and it was just great footwork.
Batchelor was excellent along with Dave in middle. Batch should start next week for me.
Crowther was great in defence but really needs to find a pair of hands sometimes. I’m all for giving him a bit of time to find his feet at 13 but couldn’t help think Walker would have been handy when we were camped on the Hull line with some of his deft kicks and good hands.
Overall though, that was a very close game and there’s plenty of positives to take from that.
