Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one in the same boat. Although the biggest-Berry-hating one making light of domestic violence across the last two episodes might well be the nail in the coffin...
Capewell and Ford offer the same IMO - Ford has a bit more energy, but has errors/penalties in him...
Agree, I wouldn't play Capewell off the bench - I'd start him though. I would like to see Capewell play while not carrying an injury - he was good in the first two games, and was then carrying...
Hopefully Webby is thinking this! Then CHT can play the 14 role (covering spine, plus Walker in 13) if he decides to keep TMM at 6.
However, I think what this last fortnight has shown is that TMM prefers that 7 / hands on the ball role. Whether or not he can go back to playing second fiddle...
Those penalty stats are pretty damning... 5 penalties to us, 3 set restarts to us, and zero of either to Dolphins.
And.... The red could have called half a dozen more given how slow they are off the tackle and hanging onto the ball...
Throw it around on the last, and Sifakula almost breaks them open down the right side. But the offload goes to ground and it's game over.
22-16 to the Bears. Hearty effort from a bloody young Warriors Cup side. So close!
What looked like an obstruction penalty attacking the line gives the Bears the ball back. 2 mins to go.
Likely only one more shot, and need to force an error. Need some magic!
Bears hold us out with Tafua trying to have a dig on the fifth. Average attacking set with the halves players getting tackled with the ball.
Then we force an error. Scrum 15m our with 3.5 mins to go
Warriors defuse another attacking raid from the Bears, as their fullback throw a wild ball that goes over the sideline.
A poor end to set by the Warriors 10m is masked by the Bears kicking at the ball and we get a six again call. Attacking their line now, but our left side attacking passes are...
Leka almost busts them open. Play stopped while attending to injuries on both sides (Leka looks ok though).
We throw it around on the fifth and then Harry Durbin gets pollaxed in the middle of the field after we lose 20m
