Very sloppy second half at times based on some extremely poor discipline that if against a better team would have cost us - remember Warrington. Do that over the next 4-5 weeks and we'll beat ourselves.

I am never one to blame the ref but there was an awful lot of evening up the penalty count in that second half and some very dubious Hull KR tries. That coupled with the game being won after 30 mins and the players taking their foot off the gas made the scoreline a damn site closer than it should have been.

tired from last week, with only three props in rotation against hull kr fresh from a rest last week, with what i believe sky said was a pack back from injury.

If Bentham hadn't got injured, IMO we'd have scored 60 past them. Hicks was poor.

I'm still baffled why we had 3 second rowers on the bench. Why wasn't Dudson picked? Hughes and Farrell offered very little and Tuson wasn't much better than them imo.

26-0 up and one eye on next week.

No complaints from me as long as its backed up next week.

Same here. Get the win and come out with no injuries was what I wanted. Job done.

Also agree, we went off the boil in the second half, the first was quite clinical though.

I thought HKR 'upped' their game in the second half.

Certainly from the push on Sam, some niggle was injected into the game. IMHO it made it a better spectacle as it was looking like a total walkover.

We did take some pressure off the pedal, as seen by taking Hock off, I hope for a rest, for next weeks match.

I think its hard not to take one eye off the ball when you've saints coming next week for a cup tie! Especially after seeing a broken leg happen! We always had enough in the tank after building that 26-0 lead. I ain't worried one bit! Won't happen next week!

Definetly. In fact it came really before half time when on 25-28 minutes they threw on all four subs. They looked far better from then on.

I agree with this. Plus a few calls from the ref. that went H.K.R's way, i.e. a kick that hit Finch, which wasn't played at, was given as 6 more tackles and they scored off it.

Sloppy seconds?

I thought this thread was referring to your relationship to Wigan Athletic and its ground

The second half just bored me and a lot of games have this season. Some of the teams in this competition are complete garbage and we easily beat them without even getting out of 1st gear. It's no surprise that Wigan completely took the foot off in the 2nd half, bit annoying when you have Wigan -18 on the handicap though!

There are 6 good teams in this league, the rest just make up the numbers and that is not said to disrespect but a sad fact. The league is not more competitive but the top 6 is. Tonight was a strange game. We were untouchable in the first half but with the injury to Bentham, a commanding league and one eye on the cup quarter final next week it was expected. Wigan will turn up next week for 80 mins and a fancy a Wigan win by 10-12 points
