I don't know how the referee, Mr. Smith, could watch Wigan roll on Wakefield players for three consecutive tackles and give nothing then give Wigan one straight away at the other end plus giving a penalty for O'Laughlin petulantly throwing the ball away in the tackle. It was obvious from the start of the second half that there was only going to be one winner. Wakefield were not embarrassed by this defeat. I would also like to say I thought Huby was very poor compared to Keegan Hirst. Well played in both Easter games boys. Onward and upward.

I never ever blame the referee on a result, but today he cost us the game

Shocking refereeing today.

Are we going to blame the ref every time we lose?

We lost because we were not good enough ball in hand. Regardless the ref made some bizarre calls.

It's ok saying we were not good enough with ball in hand but when you're on the wrong end of bad bad calls time after time it puts pressure on, forcing teams to be bad with ball in hand. Fatigue from defending constantly etc.

I hate saying a Ref has affected a game, but on this occasion the stinking blatantly wrong calls lost us that game. We had enough to win if allowed to play.

No.

At Cas we were beaten by a far better team...At Leeds we just didn't perform but ultimately we're beaten by a better team...At Huddersfield we totally dominated the game but somehow managed to have a nightmare 10 minutes and threw it away...at home to Hull it was a very close game that could have gone either way and don't think you could complain if either team had won...so that's 4 defeats absolutely nothing to do with the ref...

I'd even add to that and say in a couple of wins we've got the better of the calls...Salford at home certainly...

Today though I don't think you can criticise anyone having a moan because we were on the end of quite a few poor 50/50's and in a close game you can certainly feel it had a bearing on the result...poorest redf in the league for me...

id pretty much agree that the ref certainly didn't do us any favours today with a few obviously wrong decisions but what really killed us was our idiotic giving silly penalties away especially on the fifth tackle. you can't give a side like wigan easy yards after defending the full set. also to be fair most times fin would have converted those two goals and we would have took it to them in the second half a lot better. all in all though lets be honest with ourselves we just gave a strong wigan side a run for there money and theres not been many seasons that would have happened. so for me a good showing just got away from us. now lets get some of them to stick and get into the 8's

This sums it up for me plus we posted more points against Cas than any other team this season. Ŵe make mistakes, we give soft pens away, we lack creativity near the line BUT we're also playing some exciting rugby and we're growing in confidence. No team will face us this season thinking were an easy two points. I wasn't too disappointed with either result this weekend - did anybody really, really think we would best the league leaders and the world club champs?? We're a work in progress. Provided we finish higher than 8th and get at least a couple of wins in the super 8s I'll be happy. Onwards and upwards.

Wigan knocked on enough times in the last 15-20 mins for us to get in front.
We didn't take advantage and he pings us for a lazy lay on that leads to the winning try.
Only ourselves to blame.

The ref was terrible but we had enough ball in that second half to win by a couple of scores. We just couldn't turn possession into points.

Just about sums it up,Enough said

We didn't make enough of the many opportunities we had to put that game away - that's for sure.

But Mr Smith hammered us at some crucial times - I'd suggest he is still learning to ref at this level and at times, it really shows.
