Quote: Smiffy27 "I thought Jiffy was over the top criticising Dufty for the Saints try. The kick was covered by Ashton on the left wing & then it got a wicked bounce. Dufty dropped a high ball in the first half but otherwise he was fine. I do love old Jiffy though & even went to see him & had a chat with him a few years back (he loved his time in Warrington) but I'd give him some stick over that one. The FB cannot be everywhere & has to share duties with his wingers.'"
I thought the criticism of Dufty was fair regarding their try and his fluffed high kick take.
I'm not sure of what happened the play before but Dufty was over the other side of the pitch and should have been at least in line with Lomax.
It was a great kick and I think Lomax played for that bounce. There was no other Wire player in the picture and the area Ashton had to cover was simply too much.
For Ashtons try, even when Makinson was beaten Matty still had a lot to do to get round Welsby. Welsby was in a far better position to support his winger.
Other than that though, Dufty was solid in defence and dangerous in attack. His pass to Williams when falling was sublime.
