As Testy said that's because we were disciplined and you were not. Cross in particular was a liability and pretty much threw the game and that was not Ben Thalers fault. I agree that perhaps another ref would have been more sensible if for no other reason than to stop this kind of bickering.
That said the result would still be 9 penalties to nil, however Ganson for one would have brandished the yellow sooner than Thaler especially as it was a telly game.
There is no denying your indiscipline helped us win the game but the try's that won it still took some scoring.
On a positive, Frank Winterstien looks to be reaching his potential which is good to see, always liked him when he was with us.

| I think fitness let Widnes down and that is why gave silly penalties away.Bad kicking game and lack of creativity at halfback.Clarke is not a scrumhalf.

This suggests that Widnes need to sort their discipline out.

| Quote: Dr Chim Richalds "All tries come from mistakes or luck... Every try relies on someone not doing their job by missing a tackle or not being in the right place positionally. For example, one of our players rushed out the line for Mathers' try leaving a gaping hole.
As for our tactics being a bit old school, I've watched the game back and our 'tactics' are nothing out of the ordinary that you don't see in any other SL game. I must have missed all these other super league games where there isn't a single penalty for a high tackle. Let alone two or three.
I could throw your way that on at least six occasions the Wakefield player stepped forward off his mark and should have been penalised for it but didn't.'"
Look Doctor, what with you being new to this Super League lark is you have to realise that the game is not run for the benefit of the likes of Widnes and Wakefield. We don't count. It's only run for the benefit of Leeds, Saints, Wigan and Wire (who replaced Bradford in the RFL's wet dreams).

The disgusting thing really was the tactics used by some of your players and referee for taking no action.
If this remains the widnes game plan, you're not going to like many players by the end of it.
Clearly doctorate's are given away on the back of cornflake packets these days!
You may be in for a long. lonely season Dr!!!

There was no issues from Widnes players until the 50th minute, or so. there was nothing before that which would have required sin binning or sending off. 2 or 3 high tackles went in from Widnes players from then on. It is not mandatory for the ref to take immediate action. It is desirable that they don't, or we'll end up with 10 men per side RL every week. Players were warned and punished by penalties until Ben Cross over-stepped the mark and was sent off.
I suppose that you missed several head high tackles put in by your very own angels?
On at least two occasions Dave Allen nearly had his head ripped off. We never even got a penalty for it. Your players were lying on all game, often for as long as 8 seconds, and we got nothing.
Now jog on you whinging tart.

Your tenacity in defending your teams indiscipline and shortcomings in that game is admirable.
But you are starting to look like a very sore loser now.
I am impressed at how unwavering and overwhelming bias is staying intact. Commendable effort but let it go man.
The fact is there are multiple infringements by both teams in all SL contests. Our game was no different. It was only the second half widnes felt the wrath of the whistle due to 3 consecutive head highs.
After a warning .. Cross again commits another high tackle. He had to walk.
The widnes discipline let you down big time.
All this childish you did it too... You did it more... You did it all game...
Is making you look a touch foolish, take my advice here..
Sit down, relax and have a coffee... Next week is another game, and another chance to grab 2 points.

I don't think it was just our discipline. Our fitness and stamina in the last twenty was poor, we stepped down and Wakefield stepped up.
I saw a lot of promising signs for us and when watts, phelps and briscoe return, we'll be fine. We missed the spark in the middle watts provides and although Wakefield fans are probably fed up hearing about watts you haven't seen him play. We are a different side with him in the team.

I'm not the biased one. I have feely admitted that our indiscipline let us down. And, like you say, it happens in every game in Super league. I never, at any point, excused any foul play from Widnes players, and agreed that Cross had to go. I'll go further than that and say that Scoot Moore is very lucky not to be sent off for a professional foul.
But, over all, it wasn't a particularly dirty game until Widnes tired in the last 20/30 minutes and let themselves down badly with their indiscipline.
You don't need to lecture me about bias son. You seem to be the very thing you are accusing me of. Not a single mention of the high tackles and spoiling tactics of your own team in your post there.
Well done on making yourself look ridiculous.
