Very dodgy win. Seems all those things we need to improve were improved for 20 minutes then back to our ways

Listened to last 10 minutes. Sounds like Newcastle were coming home with a wet sail.

Knights didn't make it into our 20 the entire game without a penalty or a dropped ball from us.

At least 2 of the holding down calls against us (that put them in our 20) were total bull****. The play the ball from the Knights for their last try was a clear penalty.

There were many other crap calls, but our handling / passing quite a few times was woeful.

I am really disliking the scrums after a knock on. They take up way too much time IMO. A few times we gained possession off a knock on and were tackled basically in the same spot, and a scrum was called. Just needs to be a change over or a play on.

We also recieved a few calls. Leutele hit the gagai pass out we got the ball. They got a knock on called when it came off the shoulder. Most games both teams will recieve a fair share of dodgy calls.

I hate blocker but his point about 5 or 10 in the bin for repeated ruck penalties on the try line is almost now a neccessity. It wasnt til the 70th minute that gal got the caution. If they just binned someone earlier on u wouldnt see it happen again
