deadset rubbish. referees don't understand the value of a good tackle because most have never played the game

Newcastle need to pull their heads-in. Back-to-back errors. They really should have gone on with it better than this.

If Uate doesn't get a wing spot ahead of Yow Yeh for the 4 nations, something is very wrong.

Come to think of it, Newcastle are no hope. That's 3 in a row. Newcastle have won 3 in a row a thousand times in the last couple of weeks, but not 4 in a row since 1989
