Loved the 78th minute try but Peet can keep the try scoring fiver in his pocket a bit longer for me.
Both passes were not the best but were absolutely catchable and the wingers should have been better prepared.
I agree Nathan. I've said for a while that our wingers tend to play a little too flat and we bomb quite a few chances as a result. Half a yard further back and both those chances (and many more over the years) are scored.

I think the pass to Marshall was unnecessary as the short ball to Bibby was a walk in try. However both passes could, and perhaps should, have been taken.

Watch this chat between Field, French & Offiah! He gives some insight on how to collect a bad pass 🤣🤣

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
