I wouldn't point the blame on the defeat at Mellor, I just don't think he offers much. Good pass for the first try though. Penny neither, wasn't his best game but I like his enthusiasm.
Agreed with the poster about Tyrer and Flynn, both played very well and I hope we see Tyrer in Super League.
You have to look at the forwards yesterday for me. We dominated Fax for an hour despite our indiscipline and then they shut up shop when they thought they had the game won. Rather had they been looking to punch it up the middle and going for that killer try then we would be sitting pretty today. Instead, it seemed as though they were happy for Flynn, Penny et al to cart it up out of our 20 which gave Fax the edge.
OH and FWIW, please cull the calls for expansive rugby. I was very impressed with our tries last night, they showed what we can do when the time is right. The most effective rugby is four / five drives and a kick. Now and again a fifth play hands / double wedge move.
