What was wrong with Atkins tackle at the end, he grabs a bloke by the collar throws him to the ground and the bloke loses the ball as his arm hits the ground?
I assumed it was holding down. but Atkins from the moment he pulled the bloke to the floor to letting go could not have been holding him for longer than 1 second.

I was gobsmacked by it, even though it was about 2 minutes to go and id been treated to 78 minutes of Weird and wonderful calls from Thaler....

As I saw it. They were toast but we didn't control the momentum. Another lapse like that vs Saints would see heartbreak. We need to be smart. We'll take more from that game than any. Not blaming the ref, tbh he was pretty consistent unlike our game management.

I haven’t posted on here for many a while but seriously why is that absolute whopper ASS108 allowed to pollute these threads? Pathetic.

I can only assume you two are related. Consistent? Miller was up to all sorts of interference at the ptb and never got pinged once. They were off side for much of the game - and again no whistle. Thaler was awful and if he was consistent, why was the penalty count so unbalanced?

I suppose one pleasing aspect from last night is that we never missed a kick and it won us a game. We've moaned plenty about kicking costing us but last night bucked the trend.

I've just about calmed down from last nights 2nd half performance. Utterly shameful if you ask me, it's not even a case of Price holing the team back to keep them fresh because he was livid at full time.

we weren't even out-played. If we were i could live with that, but we weren't. We were out enthused and out muscled, too much grabbing at shirts and not enough sticking the shoulder in.

That said, we got the 2 points and hopefully this was a wake up call with a tough three weeks coming up. If we can bag 6 points against Hull & London & Saints then that could well be us set up for the rest of the season.

Tasi needs to be dropped, he offers absolutely nothing. Thaler needs to learn what a forward pass is, we got away with a few but Wakey got away with forward passes in the build up to every try, usually to Fiffita. The ruck was painful to watch as well Miller had his hands everywhere and wakefield seem to have mastered the art of letting go of the ball, knocking on and selling it as a ball steal.

To come back against such a strong Warrington side was excellent from us. Really enjoyed the game despite losing, great banter with the Wire Faithful
as always. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Our second half performances have been inferior to those in the first half of nearly all our games to date. Last nights second 40 was awful, with Austin's break and Charnley's try off it the only positive.
Taking a shot at goal so early on set the tone, and we should have gone for four more points. I've asked this question after the Wigan game, are we coasting through the second half of games, or are the reduction in interchanges causing us to run out of energy? Either way, there needs to be improvement.

Positives - great first half, two points away from home always gratefully received and Ratchford's goal kicking was on blob.

That points difference thing was really annoying,I left the sound off eventually.

The wheels nearly fell of when the 2 Clark's went off.

The obstruction was a joke, wells echoed thaler's explanation on the field, that there was contact from the dummy runner on the outside shoulder of the defender, which there may have been however a few points to that.

As mentioned currie went through the line, and brough made a bad defensive read, went to tackle him and thats where contact occurred.
At no point was currie in front of patton, nor did he run through as a blocker, he was parallel at all times.
Despite any allegations of obstruction patton was in the process of getting tackled by pauli pauli as he through that pass.

All ends up, that was disgraceful, and if you think of some of the tries leeds and wigan have scored off the back of obstruction and winding runs in and out of the field and around players which we've all seen on sky, it takes the even more.
