As unpopular as this may be i think were it not for Goldy we would probbably have won today once again we saw him throw out a match winning ball for the opposition and were that not bad enough he did his damdest to do the same thing again about 10 minutes later. Untill we get rid of people like goldy and the 5 minute wonder sargent there is nothing for us what so ever
That is one of the most ridiculous comments I have ever read on here.
Goldy was forced to make that pass because of the lack of organisation throughout the line of attack. Each pass was forced because the attacking line was not set, every time a player turned to pass another player was in his face and in the way. That is the attacking lines problem NOT the person passing the ball.
As for Thaler, why do people expect any different? the referees as a whole are diabolical. This is down to Stuart Cummings, since he took over the standard of refereeing has dramatically dropped. Thaler should have had the balls to sin bin a Hull player earlier than what he did (he had enough opportunities) and take back control and calm the play down. He didn't do this and it boiled over.
Sarge has been off the pace since he returned from Oz, he was clearly injured when he hobbled off just before half time. Widders, as i've said in a different thread had a good game and was our stand out player, however, he needs to run straight. Twice he had a clear run to the line and didn't back himself, he came on the inside and got tackled.
Hull had quite a bit of luck today, but on the flip side we were lucky that they dropped the ball when they did. Otherwise they could of had another 4 or 5 tries. We, at times, were de-void of ideas. We seem to "go to sleep" for periods of the game, periods that are costing us points and chances to win the game, I largely think this is due to fitness of the players and maybe the mental attitude where they think they have the game sewn up (Quins game a prime example)
It was a spirited performance with some lacks of concentration that inevitably cost us the game. I really sometimes do wonder what Matterson says in his team talks because it is second half performances that are costing us recently. First half i thought we just edged it which showed in the scoreline. Second half Hull were more agressive but i felt that at 34-16 the score flattered Hull quite a bit, so I'm glad we made it more respectable.
At the end of the day it's all if's and but's. It's over now we need to move on and concentrate on getting points elsewhere
