| Wigan were probably better on the day.
Shocking refereeing though. Im normally laugh at 'forward pass' cries but there second try came from a pass that could have been in American football!
A well dodgy knock on against us when they had just knocked on and should have been called as no advantage.
Plenty of others too

| i must admit i watched the highlights and couldnt believe how bad the pass for the 2nd try was and a couple more looked decidedly dodgy but wigan were by far the best team on the day

I am not talking about Wigan specifically i am talking about the quality of the product across the board. Being more competative does not mean it is a better quality. The scores in some of the games are a joke verging on basketball.
I would also like to say i think the cap is a good thing just not in its current form, but lets not worry about the future of our sport and enjoy the fact average to poor teams can do well in SL but yet we continue to get mullered at International level.

Something I don't agree with you on, gone over it in the past!
But I think the competion gets better each year. And the standards and quality does go up. But hey ho that is my opinion.

Absolutely right. The salary cap has nothing to do with holding down at the play-the-ball, nor does it have anything to do with the referee's inability to stamp this out and make for a free-flowing game. Best team still won, though, regardless...

| Quote chapster="chapster"no mutley they were bad, however we were never square or onside! the forward pass rule for both sides was ignored, and head high tackles were allowed for today.
dont think it changed the result either way, as john kear said after game it was a "weird game"'"
Spot on. Thaler was bad both ways to the point of penalising each team for offences he let the other repeatedly get away with. To the poster who questioned the use of a tactic Noble had previousy complained about. Well, seeing as he has had words with Cummings on several occassions this season regarding this with no effect, he'd be daft not to use the fact that refs are obviously being instructed to be lenient in this area wouldn't he? Unfortunately for Wigan, Thaler decided today was the day to start penalising it despite not doing so on numerous other occassions. Go figure?!? I think Justin Morgan probably summed this guy up best....

Look at the bigger picture.
It was a very low quality game.
I would reccomend those who rate our competition to invest in Setanta and watch the NRL, the gap is wider than it ever has been and it is only going to get wider at the moment.

NRL - When it was on sky sports I found it rather boring could not get into it so i am not going to pay for Sentanta!
And maybe the games was low quality as you put it, not ever game in super league will be like that you know!

How. If skillfull fast players and high intensity rugby is boring then i am following the wrong sport. Biggest myth in rugby that the NRL is boring, something that has only been put about in the time it has been on Setanta as well i may add.
Not every game is low quality but 90% are and we are happy to accept it as its more competative. We should look to improve standards not lower them across the board to make it "interesting".

| Best team won today and we wernt at the races but we should have levelled it up in the second half from a penalty for holding down or a high tackle a couple of plays earlier - the ref let them off the hook in that regard especially after warning then not sin binning them for it ?? However, soundly beaten...
