Why the hell are we not taking a drop goal in front of the sticks with 10 mins left on the clock and it would put us two scores ahead?and then why oh why we take a short kick off when 2 points in front in the last 5 mins i will never know.

Brain farts.
Sheffield made loads of mistakes and we couldn't capitalise.
Defence much better.
Attack somewhat weak.
A very "Brian Noblish" ground out win.

It's a start - long way to go.

I'll take a scruffy win anyday, especially when we needed one desperatly

I hope your proud of your ref.

Terrible game.

Ref knew nothing and was terrible for both teams, we couldn't do anything, but at least we got a win.

AND Neil Cherryholme! Why can't you run like that normally?!?

Agreed.

Get a grip man! We had half a side out there today and we toughed it out. The ref made some good and bad calls for both sides.

Are you serious!!!!

How on earth Sheffield managed to keep 13 men on the field until a couple of minutes from time I don't know. They were continually laying on and interferring at the tackles for which the referee penalised them and warned them. If he had stamped his authority on the game by sin-binning someone it wouldn't have resulted in the brawls we saw towards the end of the game.

On reflection perhaps it was a good game for Sam to miss, as I am sure the Seagulls would have done there upmost to wind him up

Yes, I'm serious. As a ref myself I can't quite believe the pure incompetence of Mr Turley. I agree, it kicked off because he had no control, but that's what happens when children referee adult games. This man needs removing, for his own good if nothing else.

Great game from Brendan Lindsay as well.

First of all - well done fax to grind out the win. 3 major moments in my opinion. The serious injury to brown def helped our cause ; the eagles looked pretty short of attacking ideas and the two fantastic try saving tackles by Patterson in the first half and bannister in the second. Overall happy with the defence but definitely lacked a cutting edge up front. Bit tough on Nash getting binned - too me i thought he ran over and tried to seperate fighting players ; the look of disbelief on his face was a picture.
