if a player attempts a drop goal, it bounces off the cross bar and regathered by a player of the same team but standing in front of the kicker is that offside? Because the Wigan player who collected it was from my view in an offside position, as were most of the wigan side at the point of the kick.

We won't make the top 4. Too many key players missing for too many games this season.

Generally when a drop goal is taken the man kicking it is usually either furthest back second furthest back so will be interesting when replay is available.

Might as well toss it off now then eh, no point turning up, fans or players, tell Radford to report to the RFL to tell them that we aren't putting out a team for the last 9 games because a couple of so called 'fans' on a rugby forum have said we're done for the year
FFS you're a defeatist bunch, why do you even bother?

I can take defeats like that. It was just dumb rugby at times that cost us, not ability or endeavour.
If Sneyd plays, we win that game.
That’s Wigan at (near) full strength, playing better than they have for a number of weeks.
We still could have won the game.

Got some big hitters to come back at the business end of the season, and young kids getting experience that will stand the club in good stead. Even if we don’t win the comp, we might have a say in who does.

Looking towards the future- all’s good

Well played Wigan, they were smarter on the night, it takes a good team to beat us these days, no excuses, they don’t bleat when players are missing, neither should we, Hull gave there all, we can ask for no more.
season over poppycock.

Seeing the tries on sky tonight, I'm baffled how hicks and the officials allowed sargisons try. To consult the touch judge furthest away was a joke.


Saying that still don't think we did enough to win and Wigan always looked more dangerous, even ifybry scored off s fluke

Wigan were a shambles coming into this game. CC loss was a joke for them and to be hammered at the mighty Wakefield last week.
SO what happens ?

listened on my laptop up here in jockland,Tomkins seemed Tomkins seemed to have a good game as ref.thanks sky ,looked forward all week to the game,wore my top all week and you play England's yawnian match on 2 channels and no hull ,Wigan game.pillocks.

last year when we beat Wigan,Shawn Wayne said "if that game had been on TVs,we would have won" well ,same applies to last night,sargensons try was doubtful,even pinkie commentating said it was no try.prity sure it was Wigan,but feel free to correct me,if I'm wrong.

it was a great game, without the weather we'd have won that. without half our side playing. Roll on the top 8 because we will be stronger for that experience. i really enjoyed it and thought the right edge looked exceptional. Faraimo is an absolute beast. Logan stood up well. Washy never lets us down and the ball to connor was sublime.
we go again.

Catching Saints - impossible
Catching Wigan or Cas - very difficult

Catching Warrington - realistic, especially if they lose to Wakey today. If they did, that would mean by merely matching their results for rest of season and beating them in Super 8s, we would probably finish above them.


That is entirely realistic but could really do with them losing today.

We were down on numbers and there was still not a lot in it last night.
Its small margins.
I don't think its season over, when we get troops back we'll be stronger.
We are able to beat any team home or away when we are on it, and that's what they will have to be, and do, to get to Old Trafford.
They've set the Grand final as their key objective. I think they'll treat it like knock out football and i'm looking forward to the ride. We just need to get our strongest side out there more and we'll have a real chance.
Last nights loss made it harder, but its still do-able.

I would like to see Wigan’s first try again.
Looked like he bounced it in touch from the East Stand ?
