Discipline, discipline...

[glemiln]

A 36-10 loss and surprisingly not more in second half.  Lost count on Twitter of the penalties we gave away, plus a red and yellow card and possibly a team warning to boot!  Similar to last week.  It should be interesting at the disciplinary hearings.

We have one option remaining for the chance of the play-offs- win the last two games - well, two; improve discipline.   It's extremely unlikely Hunslet will lose all of their three games.

I have to say your discipline was pretty poor yesterday... tbh I think you got off lightly and should have had another red card for sliding into a player on the deck knees first (and it was such an easy one to have avoided that it could only be seen as deliberate). Yes, we should have put a few more on in the second half, but more importantly we kept control of the game and our goal-line defence was great. Still think you'll be in the mix come playoff time though.... we don't mind playing you again

Poor and  Amateur  performance from Hornets. With the talent in that squad they should be doing better. But a professional game from Crusaders. Great stadium and a nice welcome in the Welsh sunshine !

We probably deserve to be patronised

Not the intention at all, and don't get how you came to that conclusion?

Courtesy of the Crusaders’ YouTube site.  We shall have to improve a lot to win the remaining games v Barrow and Coventry who came within a whisker of beating Hunslet away today.  The “highlight” of yesterday was towards the end after our fullback dropped the up and under.  After the play the ball, Crusaders ‘walked’ in a try without any defenders involved. The reaction by our captain spoke volumes!

Anyone know why Rangi Chase was yellow carded at the final hooter; it’s not evident on the video, nor on the Twitter feed?

For the faithful, the club and sponsors we must finish this forgettable season on a high - Onwards…

Rangi got his yellow for going in with a swinging fist & forearm, and he was third (I think, could have been second) in to the tackle...it was dangerous and worthy of the card tbf. Personally I'd give a yellow to anyone doing that..

 

edit:- I've just gone and checked, it was on the ref's side of the tackle, so behind the bodies as the camera's looking at it and he was third in..

What I would like to know is how come the Hornets player, quite rightly, got sent off for a high tackle in the first half yet in the second half he penalised one of the Crusaders for exactly the same thing but didn't send him off. Pathetic refereeing.

We have only beaten London Sk and W.Wales home and away so if we finish third to bottom we can’t complain. But the squad is on paper far better than that. We have suffered more than most with injuries but our discipline must be the worst in the division and that is self inflicted. But in this strange season it would just be like Hornets to win their last two games and make the playoffs. I think all games would be away and that is a enormous task but good luck to the lads.

I wasn't at the match but wonder if our deserved reputation for poor discipline is clouding the judgement of some referees. Shaun Robinson's sending off may have had a bearing on the result at Crusaders. The disciplinary panel decided no charge. Similarly Rangi Chase yellow card at the end of the match also resulted in no charge.
