Despite 2 wins in the last 12 games and posts on this forum saying we are not fit, unprofessional, badly coached and with Wigan having the rub of the green with a number of debatable decisions, when they scored the try in the dying seconds you would have thought they had won the grand final.

Ought to have heard the fat d#*k head behind me shouting about people leaving as they scored at the end, obviously not watched them leave at Wigan well before the end even when they have won.

Yes it’s even named ‘The Wigan Walk*due to the fans of that club Leaving well before the end of games in some cases.

Think having 2 players injured in first half and not able to return would have contributed to players looking gassed. The effort and defending was much better than it was a few weeks ago

well they need to kick themselves up the backside and get fit and take some personal pride in the own conditioning and fitness it's an 80 minute game not 20 each half.

There is no doubt that the two of the Marshall tries should not have been given. Clear knock on by Sarginson and ten metres from the mark when he tapped and ran.

That last one is the frustration, because in every game it will be stopped and taken back, and on the highlights he actually ran away from the mark, presumably because he could see defenders in front of it. Very poor.

However, what irritated me more was seeing Tangata pointing at the mark and complaining to the ref as Marshall trotted past him. I would have preferred it if he'd just tackled him instead.

What I can also say, however, from watching the highlights, Bachelor's try looks less like a try than it did live, and BJB's try would have been an interesting video ref decision.

The Marshall try from the tap is the killer though. That is inexcusable from the ref.

As for Ganson, the refs have become more reactive to cheating, which is Ganson reacting to what he sees, so fair play to him for that.

I thought same bout batch try but there is pictures proving it a try with his hand on the ball and ball on the floor so even questioning the bish try its a 18 4 turnaround with trys that should/shouldn't of been awarded.for me though it just wasnt the trys the miller incident was a joke and wigan where constantly off side

In this present day game ,it is more about hoodwinking the ref than playing your opponents.

My thoughts exactly. Don't ask for the whistle, play to it.

It was right in front of us and was definitely a try....he grounded it a split second before the Wigan defender kicked it

Live, I agree. Just a comment on how it looked on the highlights.
