I havent watched the re-run yet but at the game it looked to me like Bent-ham was lettinh Wire do what the heck they liked.....standing where they liked holding down and twisting our players as long as they liked, throwing the ball forward when they liked...................nto making excuses we didnt do enough to win but certainly were not helped one bit by the 1 sides officiating tonight


oh and i said at the time Tommy Lee should have been off !!!

The only one who deserved red was Lee, Brown and Bridge should have been binned in the 2nd half as should Brough after all the warnings BUT if Lee had been dealt with the rest wouldn't have happened.

In there somewhere probably about 50 mins worth of good rugby from both sides, it was allowed to turn in to what it was by weak officiating.

Were Warrington angels? No, this is rugby it's a tough game and you play to the official who just so happens was pathetic today, Hudds are a very good side and Wire respected that fact by playing to the edge of the rules to spoil your game, so rough calls but it happens to all of us.

Anyway i'm not going to let it spoil the good relationship we have with Hudds, classy bunch off the field, may even pop down to The Stoop and watch you guys.

Wire deserved the win I have no gripe about it at all. I think a 4-6 point advantage would've been a fairer reflection of how the game went. Dog molester's score was never a try, that pass must've been a meter forward & the linesman was smack in line.

Morley could easily have been sent off for raising the knee in the tackle, not once but twice. The one on Robbo (think it was him?) was a dead set sending off. Watch the replay.

Lee was a dead set red card too. Should've been straight off.

Like I said, fair play to Wire, better team on the night, but don't crack on like you were innocents abroad. It was 6 of one & half a dozen of the other.

We shouldn't have got dragged into Hudds slow, niggly game they like to play. Still was refreshing to see us being able to dig in and scrap a win out instead of just dealing out 40+ dickings as per.

This was all started by the comment from Willzay that 'Wire were dirty'. There was only one incident in the game that merited a red card, and that was Tommy Lee's. The rest were at most yellow cards, and as Yed stated if Lee had been red carded then none of the rest would have happened at all. As for Monaghan's try, Westwood would have scored himself if he had just continued his run to the line.

Irrelevant if Westwood could've made the line himself, it was a massive forward pass that the linesman should've pulled. But those things go against you sometimes, it's just tough. Like the short tackle count Wire got.

What I'm saying is this. Both teams were less than exemplary in the discipline/fouls department & for some Wire fans to go down the hard done by route & attempt to claim some sort of faux "fair play" moral victory is frankly nonsense.

Like I said, Wire deserved to win, I'm not griping about that. But the knights in shining armour routine is garbage.

You're really beating that drum, no one is saying Wire are angels but it's just natural to complain about the opposition.

You are clueless if you aren't a troll. Personally I think you are a clueless troll. Enjoy your ignorance, Mr 172.

Really? You sure?

Go and take a look on your own forum Yed, there's a particularly edifying thread on there entitled "Heroes & Cowards" which would suggest otherwise. Plus various other posts in other threads as well suggesting that which you seek to deny.

I'm surprised so many opinions were posted on this subject by these outraged individuals as it must be a real bind trying to get an internet connection when they are so far atop the moral highground.

The fact remaains that the single biggest offence - by a long, clear chalk - was Lee's foul of Briers.

westwood's late smack wasn't exactly endearing though was it? not to mention briers little cheap shot on kev brown from behind, but as has been said both teams were as guilty as each other in the dishing it out stakes.

Result aside though for the Hudds fans, who didn't enjoy that, had everything.

its a game we are still talking about 3 days later so something good must have happened
it was a game packed with incident if not lots of quality.

From all that went on during the game, only one called up before the beak, Tommy Lee with a Grade C.

Kev's elbow.
I will be glad when some Ref, other than Ben Filtham, has the balls to pull up Lee Briers. His game is always on the very edge of gamesmanship.
