Still a huge prop or 2 short but wow that reffing is up there with the worst ive ever seen.
Its way above incompetence & borderline cheating imo.

Knock on for Lolohea releasing the ball for the video ref decision smacked of a ref trying to just be a smart d!ck. Hope he's consistent with that all season now...

When unsure the benefit of the doubt must go to the team from St Helens. That's twice in four games we've suffered from incredibly lopsided refereeing.

I'm not suggesting that Hicks was deliberately favouring Saints, but there can't be many more calls he would have made for them if he was.

Bad reffing without a doubt ,but as others have said we badly need another metre making prop that can hit hard.

only thing he seems able to do consistently is send our decisions up as NO TRY and theirs as TRY

Our defence that second half was emarassing, hicks was even worse. Absolutly furious. Furner seems to be holding back a lot of anger in his interview!

I stopped reading when you started slagging Merrin. He’s quality.

That was one of the best attacking performance I’ve seen from us for some time. The movement off the ball is on a different level to anything I’ve seen from us for some time.

Dwyer was fantastic. If Parcell was available tonight we’d have won. They’re both quality.

Our main problem is ruck control and hard yards. We rarely get a 3rd man into the tackle to slow their play the ball down, and we need a big metre making prop.

Putting the crap ref aside. Smith looks better than Sutcliffe at everything. Better second row, better loose, better stand off. WTF is Furner doing with these two players.

Fair result. Was close and with some luck could have pipped it. Would actually like to see us with a fit JJB (to replace Ward who I hope is ok but if not must be facing the possibility of retirement, no team can afford someone injured so often) and another big prop that can get us moving forwards. We will need another back rower next season but still good to see us compete and showing the best attacking threat for a long while.

Any news on Walker's injury?

Honestly feel robbed at the beginning of the game with the double movement try and then at the end with the lees knock on.

Not justifying how we can go in with a 12 point lead and lose that game without some horrible decisions by Robert Hicks.

Interestingly I believe he’s been involved in 3/4 of our games this season.

Ok we didn’t get a few 50/50 calls tonight but we lost the game through some poor play again. Frustrating because we’d done brilliantly to come back after first 10 mins and really trouble Saints.
Very happy with the performance if not result. The boys really tipped in again. Thought our pack was beaten again partly due to reshuffle with Merrin up front to accommodate Sutcliffe, and losing Ward again didn’t help. Oledzski had a good stint aside from one dropped ball, Dwyer tried hard.
Looked like we picked up a few injuries, I hope we don’t let Wakefield spoil the party back at HQ next week...
I don’t think that’s an easy fixture.

Not slagging but he has yet to show me personally why he's our main marquee some not through his own fault playing out of position but one on one missed tackles from a former State of Origin and Aussie test forward is not ok in my book done it more than once this season with players running over top of him not like he's at 11 stone half back he knows how to get his body in way and secure the ball.

Also nobody asked you to read my comment

Good to watch tonight, some really good attacking play.
We need some line speed; in fact our line needs to move full stop. Too many sets start on their line and end on ours.
Hicks? Dreadful.
Dwyer was the best I've seen him.

I’ll say this, Dwyer was the best 9 on the pitch tonight. Despite what some say, we’re very luck to have Parcell and Dwyer. Roby has been one of my favourite players over the years, one of the best players of the SL era, but tonight Dwyer outshone him and deserves credit
