Darlings of Super League: |

| [list Quote: Captain Hook "'" [/list Quote: Captain Hook "We can discuss the refs errors ad infinitum, and just to chip in my views, he should have gone to VR on the Dufty “try”, Ashton’s 2nd should have had an “8 point try” clear head high in act of scoring. Burgess try, say no more.
I think we suffered with the short turnaround (cf leigh).
I really do think we missed Fitzgibbon though, our 3 back rowers too similar.
Ashton has been absolutely phenomenal, best winger in the league currently.'"
Spot on re the 8 point try, that was as clear as an example as I've seen. I would say I was surprised Sky didn't mention it on commentary, but they were all too busy queuing for hugs from Mikey Lewis and Ryan Hall to notice.

And laughing at us losing courtesy of an idiotic ruling that may be made obsolete next year, by all accounts.

The 8 point try (or lack of) was the worst decision of the lot. What’s the video ref looking at there?? Clear as day.

They conceded similar to us at home, so I'm surprised it wasn't given.

| Quote: just_browny "I think some of the signings talk is a bit fanciful. We will sign Leyland to replace Drinkwater, but any cap space we had handy will have gone to the upgraded contracts for the younger players. If Fitzgibbon is done - and we have missed him in both playoff games, we will need to replace him.
Tai is still only 25 and Burgess clearly rates him. I really hope Wrench can get back into shape over the off-season because he has all the silky centre skills people are moaning about Tai not having.'"
Exactly. He's 25 and he lacks basic rugby skills. Similar to a lot of the PNG team you see at every world cup. They never give below 100% and can hit hard but they're just not very good. He costs us tries by not being able to pass or beat a man. He needs to be a filler player and nothing more if we want to start winning things. I have no idea what Sam sees his value is when we have Lindop waiting in the wings. I just hope this was the last season before Lindop is brought fully through or he goes with Wrench and sorts his positioning out. It's a much easier fix then teaching someone what to do on a rugby pitch apart from tackle hard and run hard.

| After a day to reflect, I agree with a lot of what's been said.
1. We got bossed on the middle in the first half. We did ok in the second as the game became looser.
2. Really don't understand why Vaughan didn't start unless there was an unreported injury. (And when he came on he was relatively quiet. Something isn't right there).
3. Ashton was immense and was so strong running in. My mom for Wire by a mile.
4. Frustrated that the Burgess try was given but it seems like the videoref rules now (always??) are that to overturn the refs decision there must be clear evidence to the contrary and as the videoref couldn't see the ball at all times that was deemed to be enough to fail the 'overturn' bar. Harsh. But were HKR worth a 10 point lead at half time? Probably.
5. We hauled ourselves back into the match and had chances to win, but couldn't take them. Fine lines.
If we'd have got to the final would I have feared Wigan more than HKR? No.
I always said HKR was the toughest one, but we'll never know.
It's a real shame the Wigan Leigh match was on terrestial tv. It was so one sided. Ours would have been far better.

| As much as I like to take the mick that you haven’t won the big one for like 80 odd years despite spending more than the rest of the league combined, you were robbed by inept officials. The standard of refereeing is getting embarrassing now and I don’t blame you all for being so aggrieved

Presumably you think it is safe to put your head above the parapet now the season has finished and your team can’t embarrass you for the next few months.

If someone can work on his passing he could be awesome but right now I would go with Lindop over him.

| Quote: Kevin Turvey "Indeed. A Superleague quality right centre is a must (perhaps Wrench can stay fit or Lindop can break through), a fully fit Fitzgibbon in the back row with a big pacy back up forward as well, an organising scrum half with a kicking game and a tackle breaking front row forward. We don't have a Tanginoa/Mago/Satae/ type player to come off the bench and cause some damage although that's what Musgrove should be capable of. We'll see what close season brings.'"
Totally agree with everything you say here. I’ve said pretty much the same on the rumours thread. I would have took Sneyd for a year next season over Leyland. He’d be ideal alongside Williams.

I dunno. Think I’d rather have Hayes.

You’re expecting a lot from Hayes to be up to speed after an ACL injury in late April. He won’t even be fit for the start of the season IMO.
