If Tomkins hadn't dropped the ball on the first tackle on 29 minutes. The Kiwis scored just after.

You should put that on the Wigan board or are you still banned?

True but it was a bad pass from Sinfield in the first place so it all comes back to Sinfield I am afraid
Funny how not many have mentioned Burgess`s high tackle on the last play.
Had that not happened.....

....or if Ryan Hall hadn't slipped clear through to the line ( what was that about ? )

I was right next to the play and remember Kev having a word with Roby before the play-the-ball and lining himself up on the short side. I thought he'd just drill it into touch but it looked like he was trying to kick it dead (Leeds-style) but the Kiwi winger was perfectly positioned.

Anyway, Johnson's try was scored with 21 seconds left on the clock, more than time it takes to form a scrum in a hurry. The only difference a kick to touch would have made would be the try being exactly on the hooter.

Bit like Huddersfields

Does anyone bother with that site? You see more criticism on the Workers Party of Korea website!

When Farrell was going relatively well at the start of the season I posted on the inbred board that he isn't big enough for international RL as a back rower. That's what led to me being banned. I await my glorious un-banning, fawning apologies & eating of humble pie.

We scored in that passage of play anyway.

Pfft. Details.

Dont bother just talk to reasonable wiganers on here or other boards,but avoid the void

Disagree. The game ebbed and flowed. NZ had their periods on top, so did we. NZ made some stupid mistakes....so did we. 3 tries a piece. Don't think theres sufficient evidence from what was on show to claim we were the better team.

The entire structure of englands last 2 sets was shocking. They put themselves in that position of defending the line with seconds left. Think it might have been the 3rd or 2nd to last set england had in posession (may have been further back, but it was in the last 10 mins) widdop put up a midfield bomb. WTF? Territory was as important as oxygen at that stage, and NZ started the set on their 35/40 metre line.

You put some of those england players in a super league grand final at old trafford and they'd have been constructing sets to pin the opposition down in the corner and not give them a sniff. The pressure got to them at the end.
