| What has happened to Logan Tomkins? He's never going to be on the level of Micky Mac of course, but I do believe he's a better option at 9 than Sam Powell is. Was great against Warrington, and his defence has considerably improved and he hasn't been seen since. Thought the intensity dropped considerably once Powell came on for MM.
After a lot of expansive rugby of late, I was very surprised to see us seem to flat and predictable, Smith and Williams were outdone by Campese all night. But I do think we missed Tony Clubb and Flower more than the 'lightweight' second row people are saying on here IMO.

Do you think so? I've been on Saints, Wolves and Rhinos recently and find myself in despair. I can agree that the obsession with all things Wigan can be amusing but some of the bile, particularly with regard to Faz's injury, is very unpleasant to read. The poster Big Steve (I think) got it right with his comment on certain individuals that populate the Internet. You can see it in Wigan Peer's sig if you're interested. The whole environment wherein people can behave outrageously in anonymity is, I'm fast realising, just not somewhere I want to be. Could be its time to put foolish things behind me.

I suppose it depends on how seriously you take it. Most of the half wits who post this tripe wouldnt dare say it out loud to their target audience so i take it all with a pinch of salt
Far more important things jn this life to get upset about

Wrong again, it's still not stopping you.
He pulled out SOL and said the tackle by Powell was fine but it was after he called held. Let me repeat exactly what Silverwood said:
"I've no problem with the way he's gone in, the penalty is because he's called held then he's gone in. It's not a cannonball."
End of convo.

I've just watched it back, Silverwood sspecifically says it's not a cannonball about 3 or 4 times, the commentary team point it out too. The penalty was because he had already called held when Powell went in

Nice to know I was wrong, way the referee blew immediately after the tackle made me fear the worst.

don't get me wrong I'm didn't come on to comment on the tackle as a witch hunt against Wigan but it was a naughty tackle no matter how you sugar coat it the fact his face hit tilses backside first altered Powell's movement and saved tilse from a injury, Powell did a similar tackle to Graeme Horne in the 1st half as well which went unnoticed

Maybe, just maybe they didn't cite a Wigan player because there was nothing to cite - the only naughty bit was it was after the ref called held and a penalty was correctly given.
Have some self-respect and stop digging that hole.

It looked "naughty" because you wanted it to, and it's been proved you were... now what's the word... WRONG...

| The ref was wrong, the replays on Sky were wrong and the RFL having looked at it are also wrong.
