Bentham loaded the gun and hicks fired the bullets,Bentham messed up big style and if watts gets further punishment then the game is doomed

No, they were seriously inept in missing the foot on the dead ball line by a wigan player in the lead up to your 2nd try

Well they have to get something right every once in a while don't they?

Seriously though this thread is embarrassing. It was a bad call, that's it. No conspiracy, no corruption, just a case of the ref(s) seeing it different to how we did.

One of the things I always use as a measure in incidents like that last night is the reaction of players immediately after it's occurred. They know if foul play has taken place and they act aggressively towards the perpetrator. Watch the Wigan players, not one has a pop a Watts because they know that he didn't commit an offence.

From an outsider looking in, if that had been Bowden or Taylor and not Watts do you think the decision would have been different? I certainly do

Well im still fuming about it - The rfl is bent as that decision came from up above and not on the field

Exactly

So I suppose Hull were in on it, hence why Sneyd threw an intercept, Shaul knocked on in the dying minutes and Sneyd (again) put a poor tackle in on Gelling?

Reading some comments from Leeds and Wigan they are worried about us breaking up the "cosy" set .
Us along with Cas , are a top side who are threatening to gategrash the party . Pundits and Sky will also have to wake up to this fact .
As you saw last night , we will not die wondering in 2017.
Very proud of the lads last night, very difficult circumstances for us ,and inept officiating keep Wigan in it .

We have many poor referees in our game at the moment and they are controlled by an egomaniac who,as always, wants to be the centre of attention. This game was always going to be a fiery affair and the fault lies with whoever allocates the refs to games (presumably Ganson).
The two worst refs I think most owners, coaches players and fans would agree are Hick & Child who are both totally incompetent. We have to accept that refs will make mistakes but they are in a different league. Either Thaler, Bentham or even Hewer should have been appointed for a cruical game

Classy keyboard warrior..... Has yer mam made your brekky yet?

Where have all these Wigan fans come from. We've played them 4 times this season and yet they've only appeared on here since last night!!!

That didn't happen, as every time it's mentioned to Wigan fan they choose to ignore this, we can only talk about the clubb try which was 50/50, unlike the Marshall incident which was 100% a wrong decision which they scored off the back of.

Heads ok thanks for the messages!
No blame to anyone it's rugby league this stuff happens, hopefully not too many more times

Still in complete shock, the games gone to rats. Shouldn't even be a discussion if it was a sending off or not, it clearly wasn't and any pundit, rugby league fan with half a brain knows it. Bit of a Stuart Fielden moment that for me, so called hard man getting to look like a complete fool, trys his hardest to put a big hit in on watts, gets it completely wrong, and Watts gets sent off , you couldn't make it up, unbelievable . We was unbelievable last night against a more or less full strength wigan, we had key players missing, down to 12 men, and still could of won. Just hope we can make that 4, Radford and the players really do deserve it
