also, i genuinely dont think we would have done better if we had last years team.

I walk back to my car over the canal surrounded by Wigan fans, and I always find it interesting to overhear their conversations about how the referee was biased towards us. Have a look at the recording and you'll see we have as much to complain about as you have.

The only complaint i would have is regarding the knock on against Charnley that blatantly resulted from being tackled in mid air.

Apart from that i though Bentham had a very good game.

It was intense for the full 80 I've not seen RL like that in a while. Shame that one decision soured an otherwise great spectacle.

A great game and after all the doom ad gloom a reminder of how good RL is and what we have been missing.

Agree with the subject, both teams to hit that level 2 games in takes some doing. We are a young team but they all look proud to wear the shirt and that will do for me, see you all at Hudds.

If only Paaaaat had brought his kicking boots.............

If only Brett had brought his kicking boots.

Both missed a stinker. Richards missed a touchline conversion whereas Hodgson hit his.

Team played fantastic apart from Sam, who simply cannot catch a bomb and its embarassing. Murphy gets a lot of flack and Sam gets none, lets be consistent in our judgement. I still cant decide if Bentham saw the Charnley incident or did he leave it to his assistant? only a minor critism to Bentham who , lets face it is the best ref in SL. Goulding looked a real threat in the first half, the second half was a great defensive display from both sides. Totally made up , another endorsement of the greatest team sport in the world

No fullback in world rugby would have caught them bombs that briers was putting up.

Rads, Connolly, Richards, Hampson
