It was a pretty clear cut try sorry mate. It bounced because his hand was on the side of the ball, rather than the top, and came off it as it was slammed into the ground.

It's not going to matter anyway, we're getting destroyed.
Doesn’t Young try to place it down on the defenders knee and start to lose it then?

Lol I guess Best is worth every cent we pay him, Tigers will score every time they run at that edge.

I genuinely think the loss of Best has hurt us more than Ponga and Brown. That edge that he usually defends extremely well getting completed destroyed. A debut from hell for De Coursey.

Smart of the Tigers to exploit it

Undoubtedly it has. Can't overstate how much we've been dominated through the middle though. Mooney has been completely MIA - and not for the first time this year. Jacob struggling too but needs some help from the others, they've been shit.

Bit harsh on Mooney imo. I think people forget this is literally his first proper season of regular FG let alone starting. He was always going to be a longer term project player.

At one point we only had 25% of possession too. The forwards were f**ked.

That's fair, but whether our starting forwards like it or not, a few big runs to get us out of trouble are part of their job description. Didn't see enough hands up.

It’s probably a 2-3 try breeze and the knight have quick points in them. They’ll no doubt get much better field position this half. If we score 1 more try it’s likely enough. First 10-15mins this half crucial.

I think another area where you are missing Best. Those big runs from the forwards generally only happen after one of the backs sticking their nose through the line a little and getting a quick ptb. Best offers that often.
