Although we lost, proud of the team after losing Widdop.
This game proved two things for me, the seven tackle rule is a slight on the game and the golden point is a joke, both teams should have been given one point each.
Even though we lost noone can say we are not premershio contention

For me what comes out of this is if we loose Widdop or McCrone even our 9 Mary has not given anyone game time in these positions .

It already hurt losing Widdop. But to lose Dugan for part of that second half was brutal. We were really rudderless without Widdop and it doesn't bode well for the coming weeks. Hopefully someone can step up at training this week and prove they are up to the task.

It was all heart that kept is in that second half which is pleasing from a defensive stand point. But our last tackle options were non existent, and Lafai barely saw the ball in the second half and when he did, he still looked genuinely dangerous but we kept going first man or going right.

Heartbreaking loss, but still proud of the team for fighting to the bitter end.

Have to be proud. You can't shit on McCrone after what was almost 2 perfect kicks in extra time. His first bomb should've had a much better chase than what it did. The second kick in a different universe stays in and we win the game.

Furthermore after almost beating the Roosters without Widdop for most of the game (Also lost Dugan for a good while), in my opinion this makes us look even more legitimate than we did before.

With a full strength squad we WILL make a deep run into the finals.

Gutsy effort from the boys with no help from handbag chechin. For a very tough game there sure were some soft penalties in the second half as you would expect after Robinsons rant during the week. Not one penalty for all the late coward hits after the ball was passed or kicked. Pearce could have broken Duges' legs & he should have been placed on report.
Some very tough times coming up without Widdop.

Dugan so much heart.

McGroan needed to step up after Widdop went off, at the very least take control of the 5th tackle. McInnes was a passenger in attack, it was a great opportunity for him to step up too. Nene made some blunders but he scored a crucial try breaking 4 tackles so hats off to him.

We had them on the ropes in the first half and really applied pressure well. If Widdop stays on for the 2nd, it's a different game.

Thompson, Frizzel put in some good work.

I feel as though the refs were too whistle happy today and it hurt the flow of the game. Some dud calls went both ways but mitchel puss should have been binned for a late knee slide that could have caused injury.
