| Quote RedWarrior32="RedWarrior32"I’m not usually one to moan about a referee but I thought Childs was awful tonight. He got some blatant calls massively wrong and as good as Wakefield were, it put us under even more pressure time after time. Nevertheless, we did what we needed to do to win and even with a rotated team that type of gritty performance should give us a boost going into the derby. IMO Joe Shorrocks doesn’t look out of place whatsoever in that first team - great Player!'"
Child.
I thought we got the rub of the green with the Powell try at one end then the Wakey no try at the other shortly after. Both could, and arguably should, have gone Wakey's way, different game then if we lose 6 points and they gain 6.

Equally, Wakey shouldn't have had the ball for their no try because whilst Tommy knocked it out, Johnstone had knocked on.

Fair enough. I just noticed two massive points related decisions that went our way in quick succession. I thought Powell knocked on for his try, and Bibby knocked the ball back for their disallowed try. Understandable why the Video Ref went with the on field decision for both though.

| Quote sergeant pepper="sergeant pepper"I don't think it was lacking in class, or was unfair. It was probably a written a little clunky.
Let's not beat around the bush here there's a big lack of sympathy from me. I don't have a short memory and I certainly remember the lack of sympathy thrown our way when we had that awful day. In fact I remember them revelling in the 60+ points they put on us.
Will I gloat like they did - probably not? But is it the definition of Karma and a lesson to all fans about celebrating such results? Most definitely.'" nope defiantly showing a lack of class in fact that post makes you look a complete utter moran, enjoy your win but it wasn't even of the same quality

| Thought our right edge was shocking tonight.
Bibby came up with some decent defensive plays towards the end of the game but other than that poor, Hardaker I though was shocking, didn’t look interested for most of the game and Isa had an off day.

| There were lots of bad decisions both ways. French's knock on when he'd clearly kicked and regathered, Gildart knock on that was clearly stripped plus forward passes in the build up to both their first half tries went against Wigan yet the only one that gets called is for the disallowed try. All instances that changed the tide of play. In the end none of the bad decisions changed the outcome. Wakefield were excellent in defeat but Wigan deserved the victory.

| Quote jonh="jonh"This is a virus which has caused disruption to the entire world.
It is a virus that doesn’t have a vaccine as yet and can affect everyone who the players come into contact with.
I don’t think the Wigan team that played that day took the field with life or death concerns to their family and loved ones on their minds.
You may say it’s the same.
I totally disagree. I think the the sentiment of “karma” at the current time with so many people going through so much uncertainty is extremely distasteful.
Just my opinion though obviously.'"
99.7% of people will not suffer a fatality and as "diseases" go that's pretty re assuring. Unfortunatley herd immunity, a system that has seved mankind well for millions of years has now seemingly been abolished by the government.
As for the bug that affected Wigan on that fatefull day at Belle Vue, I'm sure the players and officials are all the stronger for it now, and hopefully immune from further attacks too.

I thought Child was consistent tonight. The pass from Farrell to Burgess wasn’t forward and it was Bibby that knocked on not Johnstone for Tupou’s no try.
As for Powell’s, it was never going to get ruled out due to the on field try decision, and there wasn’t enough evidence to overrule it.
Child did his usual thing of giving one team a load of penalties/set restarts, then the other.
In the end, we just couldn’t crack Wigan’s defence.

Problem is I know there’s going to be more lineup changes again next week. Chester just can’t seem to stick on a 17 for more than a week whether it’s forced due to injuries/covid or not. Hard to get consistency which is why we are where we are, Clearly some bad eggs in the camp which doesn’t help.
Good luck to you lot for the rest of the year.

| Hardaker in the centre doesn’t work.
He’s not electric, fast or creative enough for full back either.
