HUnslet & North Wales

[Hunslet Miner]

Real disappointment yesterday. Really thought that on balance of play we should have won the game, just really poor finishing let Hunslet down. Three times we should have scored in the left corner, but each time we failed to ground the ball properly. Also thought our left side defence was too fragile. two of their tries came through this area.

I still think we don't do enough to gain field position. Still taking tap penalties when we could gain another twenty yards with a kick for touch. Also not taking the points on offer. Funny enough with a tight game you don't see Castleford [best rugby league team by far at the moment] turn down an easy 2 pts with a penalty. They know how to play the game. Why don't we look at their game plan and see what we can learn from it?

Later in first half, At 6 pts to 4 pts in the lead. Penalty in front of the posts take the two points and get the ball back. No we run the ball from a tap penalty loose the ball. North Wales then came back to score and take a 10 pts to 6 pts lead into the half time break.

The offside penalty late on was the final straw. If we had kicked the penalty, we would still have been only one score down to get a draw. As it was the game was over once North Wales reached 20 points.

Looking at the table. If we win all the rest of our games we are in the Shield Final, paying at home. If we lose to London, them we don't make the final and we can all go on holiday.

very similar to the 1st oxford away game. 

never learn do we..

Similar to every game. Certainly don't want to be away in final if we make it. I think every team we have played this year have made fewer mistakes in the game. Some of our players need to learn how to catch and hold onto the ball.

yep, its the same old story, and the same old players. I am sure Gary is well on his way to deciding who the weak links are?????????? Don't need to keep mentioning who they are do I?
