I too thought the ref was going to spoil the game,their number 10 made six bad challenges and got warned,another one dived and Johnson got booked . Read earlier that he refereed a game a few weeks back and booked 8 but failed to give a red to Halifax player and both sets of fans booed him off at the end lol
Moving on, what a second half, Hawley did exactly what Brodie didn't. He was a menace to their back line, making himself available,shielding the ball and talking to the players around him,he made a lot of difference second half when we got the ball down and played it to him rather than over his head. Hilliard was a changed man tonight, different player to what he has been most of the season. Superb result and performance.
