The still pictures do prove pretty conclusively that it was a try I think if it had been on SKY with all the technology it would have been given.

It wasn't and Salford were good value overall.

We are just a very dumb team. Maguire needs to sit on the sidelines until called upon this season now. Atkin to the halves instead. But while we are at it, a rocket up Drinkwaters arris would do.
Our direction and descision making is amateur at best from the halves. Maguire has gone a season too long. That break away from Addy in the second half used to be bread a butter for Mags to follow up on a players shoulder,but whether he’s got the desire or the speed anymore that’s anyone’s guess. What is the point to carry on with Maguire anyway when it’s his last season and we’ve a perfectly good England knights up and coming halve being d1cked around on the bench.
We all could see that Dagger should of been full back from the off and now fans are asking at atkin re-enstated, I hope Sheens sees sense and changes things around.
Btw, how bad was Kienhorst yesterday!

Tbf, McGuire agreed to come to us when we were a Championship team and play at that level if needs be. I’m sure he’d admit he’s not at the level he was 5 or 10 years ago.

I like Atkin, but I don’t think he’d make a big or immediate difference. His form hasn’t been great so far this season either. If it was him in the halves and McGuire on the bench, there’d likely be calls for our experienced, highly-paid, multiple grand final winning, former international to come back in to steady the ship after defeats.

That were we differ MR. I think Atkins form hasn’t been great because he hasn’t been played in his correct position. He’s no full back and we all know that.
And if you think Maguire is 5 years past it then that pretty much answers my question with who should partner Drinkwater.

I think he’s 5 or more years past his best, but it was quite a best. Atkin will do well to ever get to that level.

I like Atkin and can definitely see a case for playing him at halfback. But he’s still learning. Being picked for the Knights was a great achievement a year after joining us from Swinton - but it is ‘just’ a development squad.

Who is better, right now? not much in it imo. Atkin will get his chance, i’m sure.

did you listen

I did. The full game, would have been harsh for FC to lose that game funny as it may have been. I suppose you will be treble winners now after that? Shame Hardaker missed his kick but these things happen

nah not treble winners lol, Just glad to get the win,

Said on VT that I'm not sure GP is needed in regular season games and a point each plus point for GP seems fairer? To be level after 80 min in a league game and lose without touching ball in OT seems wrong. I'd feel same if Wigan had done similar. Still it is what it is and think teams will taste both sides of it eventually

Complicating things can create problems. Or inconsistencies at least. Widnes being accidentally financially incentivised to keep us out of the 2018 MPG springs to mind.

Say two teams are battling against relegation. One wins 8 of 29 games and finishes with 16 points, with no gp games. The other has seven normal wins, two golden point games (winning one and losing the other), and 20 defeats - they finish on 17. They’ve effectively had a three-point win to make them safe.

That specific outcome might not be very likely, but if you look at making 5th for the play-offs or top spot for the LLS, one of those consolation points will make a difference at some point.

not a fan myself. think if you've battled for 80 min and got a point is a fair one, even after today still not a fan, by the way you catch out ?

Hope your reception was clear and concise, as our “heroes” did for the pies.

Few Whiting and flats. Cod bit scarce at mo, bit of a strange time with Summer species starting to show and Cod back out to sea. Well done on the 2 points.

Hope you enjoyed listening to Radford’s heroes.
