OK, we were never gonna win the game, BUT our 'build up' to the batley/fev games in the last 2 weeks made it a difficult task anyway, and after 10 minutes the REF absolutely caned us, why ???
It was laughable at times, didn't prevent us from winning I know, but can't remember a game like that for years where the 'man in the middle' appears to bent - even though he's NOT, any 'little' thing we did got punished, but it wasn't the same for the opposition.
NOT SOUR GRAPES, just the margin of defeat is hard to take......

Tell you what mate, that is exactly what I've just been saying.

We gifted them the first 3 tries down the Gardener/Clay flank. The tackling was abysmal and the game was over in those 10 mins

It was then all down to the referee, Your quite correct

No complaints from me about the score,give away that many daft penalties,and miss that many tackles and thats what you get.

we must've bombed 5! That scoreline could have been many more!

Jamie is a fev lad eh?

The scoreline reflected the game. We have too many walking wounded and rely to heavily on Riddy as the only half back. Rovers dominated from start to finish.

God forbid if we were also to lose Ridyard to injury,

Are you joking ?

lets have it right ! you were beaten fairly and squarely which given your injuries situation and small squad was always gonna be a big problem for you.

IT'S NOT THE REF'S FAULT......
Featherstone were much better than us, without being fantastic, but we still conceded 54.
My thread is not about the Ref, but did we deserve that scoreline ??
We have now conceded 96 points in the last 2 games, are we that bad ?
Simple Question.

My old man was saying how he felt sorry for Ridyard, and I have to agree I rate the bloke

watch most of first half of the game in the bowling green manchester road. 20-0 down.great result in the end.you are just small team in wigan

You didn't deserve it for heart and spirit mate but your walking wounded situation made it a big hill to climb...the first 10 mins you looked like you were on a mission but the second half told playing up the slope....Just unlucky with the small squad etc and I know its disappointing but thats how it goes ..

Jog on TOOL

Idiot

well the last 2 games you have been. But a more pragmatc opinion would suggest not given the circumstances
