from the highlights I saw kirmo was also half at fault for the guy just running through us fpr there try.... he better step up soon as there are other younger forwards biting at his heels - has he gone 1 season to long?

Here we go.

Was it just mean or did it seem that we were frequently penalised for holding down when Rovers were not even though the time to complete tackles was about the same for each side? Am I imagining things or is it due to a (famous) moaning captain for the opposition was on the pitch?

Some teams seem to be quite smart at getting in the ref's ear about judgemental issues (such as how long it should take for a tackle to be complete). Why do we never do this when some other players/teams are renowned for it?

Some of our holding down was clearly a penalty.
Monahan even said we gave some smart penalties away to give us time to regroup which I've never heard from a Wakefield coach before.
I don't think we were hard done to.
And to be fair, McGuire got penalised for mouthing when they had the ball on our line.

Tbh I thought both teams got what they deserved from the ref. Refs are notoriously whistle happy at the start of a season. Whilst players reactions are not yet up to speed. Things will calm down soon enough.

I thought some of our holding down was clever and, in a way, showed how confident our guys must be when given chance to set the defensive line out. It was so obvious that I was surprised we didn't cop for team warning though.

I think the ref was a bit too whistle happy for me, and a couple of baffling decisions. ( didn;t detract from the result you guys were too good )

Grix should of been sin binned for punching jewitt after two minutes or so, and then the sin binning was harsh for us, seen plenty of times that not sinbinned.

The key to the game was how clinical you were when we were down to 12 - it was realistically game over at that point as you blew us away. We showed a bit of character to get back in the game and if the try didn't get disallowed at 18-6 for us would of been an interesting last few minutes.

TJ on the wing, surely an england call up beckons he's a hell of player.

If Grix had punched him then yes, but that was a push not a punch, come on.

Your sending off did seem a bit harsh.

Never mind Grix sin bin, Jewitt should have been red carded for what he did to Miller - Does anyone know if he is on the disciplinary panel this week?

In all fairness, it was quite clearly a punch.

And no it was not harsh at all - It was a professional foul, if he had not have tackled our player without the ball it was 100% a try.
