Stupid penalty given away by Holroyd on the last, Connor could/should of caught the ball at the short kick off and Newman coming out of the line when we were a player short certainly didn`t help. Didn`t think Palasia deserved a yellow. Other than that the forwards held their own once again and put plenty of effort in which was encouraging. Connor playing well at HB and creating something. We were lucky with our first try mind you. First impressions and would need to look again but I thought Sinfields defence or positioning for their last try didn`t look good but I might be wrong. All in all 90% happy with the performance and some winnable games coming up after the weeks break.
Another positive performance, pack again held their own against a pack we've struggled against in the past. Defence great in the first half, really pinned them back in their own half.
Attack showed positive signs, Hall's try especially, lots of bodys in motion, something we havent seen for a while. Still lots to work on though.
Ref was pretty poor for both teams, such a soft yellow.
So many positives. Could have done with just a little more luck.
Tom Holroyd gifting Warrington another set on our goal line after jumping out in front of the referee was pretty criminal. Keep our heads there and we might have seen them out. Instead they score on the next set. I don't want to overreact to an individual mistake, but in the wider context of his recent performances he needs to improve his discipline a lot faster otherwise he's out of the side when the likes of Cam Smith is fit, IMO.
Lisone has become the new scapegoat I see. Well, aside from him knocking on at the PTB (which wasn't clearly a knock on to me), I don't think he was bad against Warrington. I agree he's one of our least effective forwards and shouldn't be retained on past and current form. But let's not get carried away.
I dont think Lisone was that bad on Friday and the incorrect play of the ball was harsh, hes not playing many minutes but he doesnt choose when he comes off. Hes clearly 5th choice prop this year and you'd imagine he wont be here next year.
