Thought we went a lot better than expected and it's a shame the ref ruined what could have been a lot better specacle. Thankful for that last try because I took us to lose 16-20pts @ 6/1 as well as 10/11 at +10 start. So a good day all in all. Mind Catalans ruined the accumulator. Having a bet certainly tugs at the emotions

a. it wasnt a spear tackle
b. mathers goes for retaliation, or being thick, "I was worried about my mate"??????

as he punched the wrong player in the face??

Great, I edited that post before being accused of trolling! Haha

Your fans are admirable again, really thought Obst would turn the screw in the face if adversity and send you all home happy! Seems he only does that against us!

Yeah deffinately the short straw, Ganson was video ref and the Lino who ran on with his flag in the air is a right blind so and so.

Overall, I feel positive about the way our young, rag-tag squad performed; we need some more forward power and a controlling SH, but then we already knew that. I thought Johnson was superb and agree, we looked much better when Rinaldi was on.

Other observations:

On that performance, Cas won't be troubling the top 8 this year.

Mr Child is an embarassment to the sport.

It would seem that Wigan and Saints are not subject to the new RFL directives that saw our game ruined as spectacle.

Hands between the legs, lifted above the horizontal is a spear tackle, especially when the player lands at the angle he did!

Not to mention the penalty was for y'know...a spear tackle.

Agree with all that, the blame is firmly at Child's feet and he looked like he wanted to be of attention. If Child's would of got this next game, it would of turned into the Child's show again.

Course it was a spear tackle,legs above the horizontal and dumped on his neck,if it had been on a Wakefield player what would you have said.........................waits in anticipation for" I would have said the same"

At last loads of twaddle about refs and rugby league, happy days and the good times are back.

ill bow to your obvious experience!

Various degrees of seriousness to spear tackles, those that get lifted up and dropped on their heads/kneck, then those whose legs go up past horizontal and land on their backs. The first one is a sin binning, the second is a penalty imo.

Considering everything we've been through up to yesterday afternoon, top 8 wasn't an aspiration for any Wakey fan with half a brain; we just wanted to have a club to support.

Wakey fan or not, I'm suspecting the half a brain bit might be a problem for you?
