There was just one involving Havard where he was penalized for lifting.

I didn't think there was anything in it, but it was penalized so they will look at it.

Partington had a high shot which could be looked at.

I've only seen highlights but it looks like sometimes we just switch off when we go ahead

We played well within ourselves yesterday and only put our foot on the gas when needed. We have a big game on Saturday.

You can't just decided when or not to actually try though? As professional sports men surely you are and need to be as close to 100% as possible all the time? If you half arse going into a tackle playing this game, you're more likely to injure yourself than if you go in at 100%

I don’t disagree but we never got out of second gear yesterday. The team will ramp it up this weekend.

It was a grand day out. Lovely weather and a good attacking performance. Defense will need to improve, but the intensity was way down in this match after first 10 mins, so I think that will happen next week.

Terrible view at Wakefield being so low and at the side though. I'll have to watch highlights to see how we actually got through for several of the tries. Should have been 50 because field and french had a perfectly food try rules out for a "ghost" forward pass. Not sure what the refs were looking at because if that was forward then everything is forward...

Yeah that view at Wakey; it's great if they happen to score a try right in front of you, but anywhere else on the field...
