Don’t think anyone has mentioned the pen in front of posts that we ran and messed up when if kicked would have given us 4 pointy lead.It was shortly after we kicked pen to go 8-6 up.?Hindsight or poor tactical decision?

Yes, I think we should have took the 2 then got the ball back from the kick off.

Let's not forget apart from his brain fart in the last minute also Fleming cost us 2 points with a shoulder charge earlier in the game. I have not heard if he has been sited for the forearm incident.

He's been walking a tightrope all year IMO yes he has some aggression and is a decent enough prop, but seems to lack that composure that we now need in these crucial games.

He could have similarly cost us the game against Fax early in the year. It was a nothing contact with the leg of the kicker, and would have been very harsh, but he gave the referee a decision to be made. Also when he came on against Swinton I was tearing my hair out as his contribution was giving 3 penalties away in a row

Kear has a decision here. I'm sure he will be hurting but it was in explicable what he did and If he just walks straight back in to the 21 man squad (if he's not banned) it doesn't set a good example to the likes of Ho, O'Hanlon etc
