folks, excuses coming think and fast bar a decision here or there was nothing wrong with the officials performance. They will never get it 100% right anymore than a team catches every ball and passes every ball backwards.....

we were beaten across the field because they wanted it more....with the exception of Tautai not one forward ran onto the ball. If Crosby is a forward I am at back at 17 stone. People were creaming on here about Williams performance against KR.....who didn't turn up who didn't pressure him. went missing tonight along with smith but that is the forwards fault. about time we stopped ing about with Logan and Powell they are not good enough to play RL at super league level. We are devoid of direction and pace when Micky Mac is off. he needs to play 80 minutes.

we were poor they did what they had to end of.

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.
