Agree with that tbh. I can't wait for the highlights on the SL website, lets see 3 or 4 tries that should never have stood.

I just meant so I could see which tries should have stood . Btw, what did people think of Halley's disallowed try? I thought it was a very dubious decision and could have only been sligtly forward if at all.

To fair today was down to 2 teams who do not have got a clue how to finish a team off we could have played 40 more minutes and the score would be 80 points to 78 either way just glad we won just about kept of season alive.The person who said Chase is nothing special must be on drugs he is only the same age as Shenton and sam burges and he is already twice as good as them if he was English he would walk young player of the season award but everybody klnows it will be a Wigan lad.

Chase is 23, Burgess is 20.

HTH.



P.S. 23 is too old for Young Player Of The Year

I think you'll find Chase is 3 years older than Burgess and how can you really compare him to a prop/back rower? I agree Chase is looking good, but he has also had some pis$ poor performances for you at the start of the season what a lot of your lot were complaining about. At 23 I doubt he can be called "young player of the year" anyway.

maybe not that young i thought he was a little younger but still good player.

Poor calls by ref cost us two possibly three tries, but in all honesty, any team that defends like we do doesn't deserve to win. Shocking. Sykes is a revolving door, the rest were not far behind.

Score 38 points and lose? Castleford's defence is not far behind ours obviously.
