Hit in the air is only applicable when catching a kick on the full. Chez’s kick was a beautiful bouncing grubber.

Think back to when Turbo got taken out after being smashed in the air jumping for a bouncing ball against the Donkeys a couple of seasons ago.
Yeah I didnt think it SHOULD have been ruled that way but I would not have been surprised if it had... my point really was that the refs were a bit sh*te tonight but I dont think they were biased...
 
Exciting game - great win! Cust probably cemented his place for a while. Left side defence will improve when Parker returns. Whose place will he take?
 
My apologies for a couple of expletives during that game, just so frustrating to see so many errors, stupid penalties when we have the opposition inside their 30 or late in the tackle count.
As a side note only 1 back made 100m tonight which hurts, so well done to the midweek smoking p!sshead.

Cust has been practicing his kicks coz the couple he did were good tonight
 
Guys lay off Turbo. He has just had two periods off with hamstring problems and little wonder he's tentative and unsure of himself on the field. It will take him weeks to regain his confidence. It was important for him to just get game time and I had earlier suggested Des may give him only half a game to allow him time to get match fit again. He's a champion player. In weeks to come he'll show his worth as long as he doesn't overstretch those hamstrings again

Spot on bearfax before tonite he has only played 1.5 games this year. Was always going to be tentative.
 
They tried their best, that knock on that travelled backwards disproves Newtons law of motion.
I thought he fumbled the ball trying to pick it up, although he was facing our tryline he did appear to propel it forward

Turbo is open to criticism and he got the basics wrong tonight.:cool:

Catching a high ball = 2 drops
Passing = 3 soft and undirected passes

Sure he'll get better, but he had issues before his lay off on talking bombs and it seems that is still a weakness in his game :confused:

He agreed with our viewpoint of his game in his post match interview :nod:
 
Great gutsy win.
Penalties in the first half nearly cost us the game, some (at least) I couldn't understand.
Amazing how we turned our discipline around in the second half. Definitely in the last 10-15 minutes I could see the players all very conscious of not giving the refs any excuse to blow the whistle.
I wish we'd be that careful more often, because with an even share of the ball we are a handful for any team.
