Yeah that's right Buggo. When trying to take the mickey out of someone it's best you get the name of a club that actually exists. Even if you are completely wrong anyway.
Keep going champ, you're looking knowledgeable.
Coogee Crocodiles. How funny.

| Cannot believe some of the posts on here, I was at the game last night and it was fantastic. Gutted about the score but it went the right way in the end well done to Wolves on Fri night, thought you played your socks off, plus ref was even worse than we had last night! Good luck to Saints later (that's coming from a Warrior- always a rugby league fan before a Wigan Warrior ) can't wait for the game and hoping saints come up with the win x

yes there were dubious calls from the officials, but watch any game of rugby league anywhere and there are dubious calls from the officials, like the players they make mistakes.
we all like to moan at ref's when things aren't going our way but it's not them that give silly penalties away or miss tackles is it?'"
Wigan were good enough to draw! And Warrington were only just off the pace.
i don't blame refs for the silly penalties which are correct but I do blame them for making significant errors at key points in the game. The offside that wasn't that led to brisbane's second try was a key turning point. Then he was conned by the Aussie who clearly ran into Bateman who was entitled to be where he was. Yes they make mistakes but those were very significant and it wasn't like it needed a video replay several times to judge the decision. I thought those were harsh seen live and my view is confirmed having seen the one replay. In close games we need our officials to be better than that.

| Ahh mistakes by match officials that "cost the game".
It's a good job that dropping the ball, mistiming a pass, failing a conversion, mistiming a tackle, failing to pass, slipping (all done by the players) were NOT the cause of defeat.
At least all the "match officials", at the ground and watching on TV knew who the people responsible were. If only Thaler and Bentham had scored more tries. I never realised it was that obvious before.

The English teams have home grown advantage

Two weeks into the season.
The Australian teams are in pre season
Have traveled around the World
They have still manged to beat England's second & third best teams using their eighth and eleventh best teams from last year.
How would Widnes or Hull FC do against the Roosters, Manly or Canterbury played in Australia in their pre season?
Not real good.......is my guess.
Its a promotional vehicle to help build the game in England.
Broncos Coach Wayne Bennett had this to say on the importance of the game.
[i"I didn't know it was a series until (the media) told me (after the game)," an amused Bennett said.
"No one talked about it back home. I certainly didn't know it was the case.
"Am I pleased that we won the series for Australia? That wasn't my priority."
"I hadn't taken a lot of notice of the rules. I couldn't believe we were playing extra time," Bennett said.
"I'm in denial about that. Why the hell do they want to play extra time?
"It's not a fixture match. It's a London exhibition game per se.
"Really they're not playing for anything else but pride and the club."[/i

Absolutely! Yet another example of charmless patronising from the Aussies.

It's a big drum and there is a lot of space to fill between some ears.
The south stand at Leeds have had years of practice!

| the penalty against bateman..if that was a super league game against Wigan everyone would be saying it was the correct decision, you can't just accept decisions when it suits, bateman took 2 or 3 steps towards the broncos player ( who yes did milk it a little) but as everyone bar Phil Clarke said at the time, if he stands still,then no penalty is awarded, the fact is he kept moving towards the Brisbane player making the referee's decision easier, it might not have been much movement but he moved towards the ball carrier.. regardless that didn't alter the result of the game, the last minute penalty for ball stripping/head grabbing did and you can't say that wasn't the right call surely?

| I didn't think the decision against Bateman was wrong. Yeah, the Brisbane player dived but Batman did move towards him.
Phil Clarke's reaction though? Priceless.

The last minute penalty was given for alleged ball stealing. IMO it was a loose carry. There was no head grabbing so stop trying to embellish the situation.
Bateman did not move towards the Broncos player. He had his back to him an moved sideways. The Broncos player deliberately and cleverly spotted the opportunity for a penalty and to say he milked it is an under statement.

Ouch.
If Wigan's pack were 'smashed', your lot rolled over, spread 'em wide and applied a liberal dose of KY jelly to a soundtrack of Barry White.
I'd even suggest checking the Saints' betting accounts. Again.
