| Slightly angry Goldblatt just got back, My take on tonight.
Mr Moran and his marketing team got their prices wrong for the seats. To have so many unoccupied shows this.
We miss Ratchford. His broken play runs were missed, tonight.
We're nowhere near our best, as were St George.
Some St Helens and Leeds fans are absolute TOOLS (to be fair, some Leeds fans were OK)
"Roy Asotasi. That's how you run the ball in. Yours Faithfully, Kevin Penny (and I weigh less than an astronaut's fart)"
(bar twice in 80 minutes) our kicking game is 5H1TE
and last, but not least, Ben Thaler is a weapon of the highest order
Cast your minds back to the 1st Test @ Wembley 1994......Shaun Edwards on Bradley Clyde....reflex action.....Ref (rightly) sends Edwards off.
tonight.....St George player LEAPS in the air, AND THEN, commits the same head high tackle....talking to...................HE BOTTLED IT
I've said it for years. THESE REFS ARE 5H1TE.
Say what you like about Ganson (and we have done in the past). At least in the past, he had the courage of his convictions, and acted accordingly.
So. In the space of a fortnight, we've has a game (Widnes v Wigan) where the ref penalised anything that moved, then tonight, we went 30 minutes without a pen, then the ref bottles the decision.
I dread to think who's in charge of these pr1cks. Is it Frank Spencer?

Thaler was ok in my opinion.
The simple fact is you were garbage and came out cold at the start of both halves.'"
I'll hazard a guess wigan too was also garbage

| I've been to both and going to tomorrows too, preferred ours as it was more attacking, this one tonight was attritional, think Wigan played only 3 sets in the oppositon half in 2nd half.
A ground out win for Broncos but I thought they had it under control.

| Thought we did okay in spells but were severely lacking in other spells, especially in the second half.
We defended well for the most part apart from the odd bizarre moments. But on the ball we could have been far better. Our kicking game will see is struggle to win the big prizes this year IMO, it's very poor (it was last season too) and was evident the other night. I think we put two decent kicks in in the whole 80minutes. Then anytime we got within 20m of their line in the second half we had terrible tactics (one set we were right on their line and tried to run in from dummy half three tackles in a row which was laughed at by Dugan it was so easy to defend) or we threw the ball away cheaply.
We also didn't lay a finger on Benji Marshall once. I bet his kit was still white when he got into the changing rooms. He had an easy night on the ball.
Overall I don't think we gave a good account of ourselves as a whole, we're better than we showed. But still was quite proud to have stuck in their with them. Although Ben Harrison from the bench was excellent and Kevin Penny, well, he's never played better IMO.
Still, I'm not disappointed in that (even though it sounds like a moan). I just think we are capable of better.

| I watched the game again last night. You often see much more second time round. It was a great game and we should/could have won it.
I really watched the half backs and the kicks. On reflection I don't think we kicked that badly and I reckon they had some luck with their kicks (particularly for their winning score). The gap between the sets of half backs was not that wide.
We did lose the ball too much. We were very badly treated by the referee. Micky Higham was the liveliest hooker. Some very encouraging stuff.
