The 3rd try by Burgess was a shocker to give away and a real gamebreaker.

Re: Next up Wigan : Sun Mar 11, 2018 10:33 pm  

Im a Wigan fan and to me it just shows how bias one eyed including my self we are. The talk during and after the game from us was just the same ... BJB second try was forwards Im sat on side across from it. Escarre was onside, the ref was crap and if he had not given so much ball to you with pens we would have won with more. Talking to friends who sit in East stand on 20 nearest away end(sidet)they said BJB call was right but they would like me thier specs are cherry n white tinted.
Good luck for rest of the season.

Gutted with the loss, although there is no disgrace in losing at Wigan.
The best team won but, the 2 forward pass calls on BJB looked very harsh and the ref calls for holding down were just bizarre, especially with the messing around at the ruck from the Cherry and Whites.
Kendal looked out of his depth in the second half and following the injury to Grix, the head sot + follow up deserved 10 minutes.
As I say, the best team won but, with Tomkins and O Loughlin "assisting" the ref, we were always up against it.

This was very irritating. There was a lot of chat from these 2 towards the ref. It's time they started binning layers who want to chelp at every decision. Tomkins was embarrassing at points today and he is a quality player.

No shame first loss of the season being Wigan away - bounce back by smashing Widnes. Annoyingly though Cas'll batter them.

Not on our 2nd half performance mate. We were OK 1st half but in the 2nd half Salford were allowed to slow things down at the play the ball. Wigan are experts at this so I think we'll struggle next week but hopefully they'll swell the attendance as very few from Salford came today. I'd say 20 at most.

LOL...which pens were those that we got? I don't think we had more than 2 before 50 mins

Re: Next up Wigan : Sun Mar 11, 2018 11:54 pm  

it puts us back in our place a little our aim should be top 8 (not top 4 just yet) with results on weekend we are only 4 points away from 9th! its going to be tight and we need to keep wining the games we have to (eg the bottom 4 who we have beat)

Listened on radio only - it seems that were penalizedout of game in the first 50 mins- not sure if it was a case of our discipline or a home team ref display which I am tipping - the so called BIG teams always seem to get the 50/50 calls.

watching the highlights our defense was shocking.......
our Attack not been brilliant all season and we need to step it up to compete with the big clubs.

3rd now - still would have taken that at start of season though.

must win now against widnes.

Tomkins and O'Loughlin ref the games every week! No change there.

Re: Next up Wigan : Mon Mar 12, 2018 7:16 am  

Yes, big let down for me was shipping in 30 points and instantly doubling our points against for the season. A real wingers game regarding the try scoring. You've got to say that, as far as scoring goes, BJB jus gets on with it week in week out.

Down to earth just in time for another 4 pointer crucial game v Widnes.

Save me some money not getting the 2 Monday morning rugby papers for the 1st time this season.

Re: Next up Wigan : Mon Mar 12, 2018 7:29 am  

We lost the match where I thought we could win it - better pack in the middle. Wigan do what they do and you have to deal with it and not give them the chance to milk penalties.

Wasn't happy with officiating but will have a look at the disallowed efforts again. Must have been very marginal calls on the two forward passes.
