Of all our performances this year I thought this was closest to "par", ie best sums up the standard of the squad. Some good stuff mixed in with some sloppy play. A typical mid table level performance. If we maintain this level over the course of the rest of the season we could pick up a couple of places in the table, but not much more.

Interesting that after the Celtic defeat we had a thread twice as long by this time (not to mention several macca out ones). Now admittedly a win against Wakey at home isn't anything to organise a civic reception about.. but why is it that people are less inclined to post about a win? Perhaps it's just the British way!

I had no internet access over the weekend.

dont see why it should tbh. apart from two conversions from the sidelines all the kicks were from infront off the sticks which sykes is perfectly capable of getting. And a kick out on the full was deacs only contribution to the ingame kicking iirc. If anything yesterdays performance has added to pressure on macca to drop deacon.

Mac won't see it like that, he'll see it as Deacon winning the game for us.

He must think we need to have Jeffries at 2nd receiver and therefore we have no other option for first receiver?

Can't see any other reason other than polaroids

Still should have been charged. Although looking like a clown missing with the girl punches was enough for him prob.

Successful goal kicks one assumes?

A fairly obvious reference to goals, since the tries were level.

I agree, he should have copped a ban for it really. Unless there was more to it than I saw, it looked like a clear case of joining a fight when it was nothing to do with him. As I said shortly after my "he's in bother" comment though, the fact he is due to play for England next week means he'll get off with it. The RFL (erm allegedly) have a history of not banning players for big games or internationals if they can avoid it.
