Penalties

Five games played and we've had penalties given against us in three of them!
So far, three of the back four have conceded a penalty (Bamba, Manga and Morrison) so Joe Bennett needs to be very careful on Saturday.
Of those, one was nailed on (Bamba), one was marginal (Morrison) and one was a very poor decision by the ref (Manga).
Of course the ball is spending a lot more time in our penalty area this season but we need to perhaps stand players up in the box a bit more rather than going in for the tackle especially when facing players who are so much quicker than we saw in the Championship last season.
I wonder if we'll get any penalties in our favour this season?

Yes I agree. Looked like Paterson was brought down in the box but did anyone think we were ever get a penalty given to us away to one of the top teams in the division?
Not going to happen really is it?
