Tend to agree, those Rucks were terrible ,HKR were falling asleep they were lying on that long. That being said, we need more Referees, so if a Referee has a bad game he can drop to the Championship until he gets his act together as they do in Football, but seeing the numpties we have in charge of the game I can't see that happening anytime soon, one thing that puzzled me last night was Charnley,a couple of times he had the outside but didn't take it ,last season he would have been gone, I reckon he was unfit or he's lost his confidence, anyway roll on next year.lol

Seems to be more or less the same every game for me. The way to get a faster ruck is to win the collision and find the floor quickly, we didn't do that v Hull KR. An interesting point to note - our rucks are slightly faster than the NRLs

The referee didn't make as many mistakes as the Wigan players. However he did get two BIG ones wrong. The ball steal on Crosby given as a lost ball and the HKR offside at the scrum when Sarginson dropped the ball. Overall I don't think he gave a bad performance but in a close game those calls were crucial.
I've said a few times about that play at the scrum being risk and reward, this time the reward went to HKR.

The Crosby one is a tough call when I take my Wigan specs of. The Hull KR player has his hand trapped then the ball comes free as he releases himself. I'm inclined to call that a loose carry to be honest, its one of those where it will seem harsh whichever way it goes IMO

We didn't go from 60-0 to 12-16 in two weeks because of the referee!
To me it looked as though Silverwood was going to penalise the HKR player until the TJ's intervention. Tough one that.
Although I have to say our attack was pretty poor.
If that first 10-12 mins had been played at the DW then we'd have been 2-3 tries up.
Those same moves don't come off away from the DW hence the endless poor away results.
We need a Gameplan A for the DW
Then, a Gameplan B for away games.
The same Gameplan for home and away games isn't working as results prove so change it and improve it.
