I see where your coming from and agree with alot of it, however what you say is probably the reason why we haven't beat the aussies in a while in that we think we are beaten before we take to the pitch. We aren't here to make up numbers and if we feel that we are then we shouldn't be playing in the first place.

I did. 100% he meant to put that hit in late. Gildart got rid well before the hit took place. Cronulla lad had plenty of time to stop his hit but went straight in with shoulder. At least it didnt stop Gildart from killing it.

Your left side attack is going to be crazy good this year by looks.

Didn't notice that one until I watched the link above. It's hard to tell without a slowmo where the point of contact was but if it was around the head that's a bad one.

And yet we have Phil Clarke on the sky site earlier saying we got all the close calls. The games biggest call went totally unnoticed! They should have been playing with 12 men for 55 minutes.

I saw it straight away it was deliberate and I would think intended to deliver maximum damage.
The only downside to the game was that no Wigan player attempted to put their winger over the west stand which where he should have gone.

The more I see it the more I think the guy should be facing a long ban. It is an absolute shocker and a real cowards trick.

It's so frustrating that more wasn't made of it by the Sky team (I say more when actually anything would have done) because it makes an absolute mug of anybody who claims we got the rub of the green.
