saints10coach Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 2 hours ago, The Blues Ox said: That video suggests its a forward pass. I think the ref has got that bang on, you can tell the way the ball comes out of his hands. For the exact same reasons you mentioned, I would say, as I did on the day, never forward. Look how Tysons body is turned to the left, and the the release is still in a backward direction. Its gone now, but I felt we were on a roll up until that point in the game and that decision broke our momentum and handed the initiative back to Fax.

howardm1978 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 We can debate it till the cows come home, it wasn't given. We have to take it on the chin and move on. The lads put in a very good shift for 65 mins and made a real contest. After all look what Fax did to Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car was one of a number of cars blocking in a lot of the players who were all sat waiting sunning themselves in the car park. What struck me about the players was that they weren't all sat sulking. They were laughing and joking with each other like a bunch of mates would do and it looked like team spirit was in good shape. It took the edge off my personal sulk. If the players are upbeat, I should be too. Having said that, I'm off on my annual trip to a farm in Somerset tomorrow evening so I won't be around for the Dewsbury game or the Bradford one for that matter. My hopes of nipping back for at least one of the games have been dashed by the raised eyebrows of my Mrs. I'll just have to drink more cider. I wouldn't be too happy if the Fax players were laughing and joking just after a defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd had their debrief, they'd had their post match meal and everyone else, including the opposition, had left. So a bunch of mates were simply enjoying each other's company.

tandle Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 it you do not get this halve back combination sorted out we are in big trouble . our lack of wins is directly down to that hewitts passing against Halifax was woeful. ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I am as guilty as anyone suggesting this and that and saying where how failings are. Looking at this negativity from the outside I am beginning to think we are giving lots of information to opposing sides of how best to beat us. Let's start praising the lads as much as we can so restoring confidence and also not indicating possible weaknesses. There were definite signs that Hewitt is finding his form again and yes, like others on a extremely hot day, he made one or two mistakes. So come on Hewitt show the doubters how good you are - give Dewsbury hell on Wednesday!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Naylor Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I put the Halifax game online earlier. The footage is different than usual, I don't think the normal video guy was the cameraman. Anyway, you might have to squint a bit to watch it.... https://youtu.be/FJhBTOjc1HI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleboroRoughyed Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The biggest issue against Fax was that the 1st receiver was stood a yard or two beyond the passing range of Hughes, which meant it was around his knees/ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tandle Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I have just been reading brooksys analisis of the players performances. Hewitt -4 tackles.2 misses.3 carries-6 metres. he has been playing like this for nearly 2 seasons his he a creature of habit or playing to instructions because it is not working. in this critical match tomorrow I would not play him for at the moment he is a liability.

roughyed34 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Criticising Hewitt constantly will not help,we have no other genuine halfbacks other than Grimmer who is a 6 by trade as is Leatherbarrow. Kenny's distribution and yardage was poor on Sunday also ,but all the critism seems directed at Hewitt. Give the lad a break,he hasn't turned into a bad player overnight as have none of the other lads. We are short on confidence at the moment I think that's obvious but with such a small squad we don't have the options to change everything like some clubs have the luxury of doing. Were people calling him a liability with the interception against HKR? Halfbacks are an issue and have been at the club for a while including last season,we have to play with the lads we have. He will come good will Hewitt,the whole squad need a confidence boost really. Hopefully a good performance tomorrow night will go some way to providing that.

wozz Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 With the match being such an important one, if Sammy escapes a ban, why not put Sammy and grimmers at halve back's, they are both tackling machines and only know one way and that's forward , big big match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
