this was meant to be a bit of banter to an old fc pal as usual you jump on it,some on here are light hearted . you on the other hand are a fawny , obnoxious , mr know all who knows feck all , put a bit of humour in your posts you boring count

Re: Tony Smith : Sun Jun 09, 2019 4:44 pm  

Big effort and turnaround today especially in defense. How that clown in the middle is allowed to officiate games is beyond me though.

Scott Micklouskas is from Leigh but supports Wigan apparently? Just another typical performance from him. A 40/20 That wasn't. Totally obvious head n feeds given other way and 2 tries from forward passes. Then doesn't call a blatant pen at the end which would see us kick for win. Saying that we still should have won. Hard few week ahead

Re: Tony Smith : Sun Jun 09, 2019 5:38 pm  

At least after that Smith now knows what he's up against and what's needed.
Good effort at times but very poor at others, poor line speed, poor game management, another 'win' we failed to see out too. Hopefully a few 'big' players due back soon too (Quinlan, Maguire, Garbutt)
I think there was some good signs today though and think Smith will do well, big job ahead of him though

Re: Tony Smith : Sun Jun 09, 2019 6:09 pm  

Did anyone ever think Mr Mouse was going to give us a penalty for obstruction from the short kick off one minute from the end??? not in a month of Sundays. I,ll watch it back to see if it was the correct decision, but through my biased eyes the non decision stank.
The 40/20???not sure if it was, if it was it was very marginal, but no way was the play the ball from another 3-4 yards further forward.
Some of those decisions were very dubious, and always seem to go against us. That said, Wigan were nothing special, yet we lost again at home when we shouldn,t. We need a hooker and we need some wins,nothing else matters now, or we will be relegated.Smith has a big job to do.

Will be very surprised if Linnett plays in next few week.looked a nasty one

Re: Tony Smith : Sun Jun 09, 2019 6:52 pm  

We switched off 5 mins before half time and they scored TWICE. That was the difference.

We all know MickeyMouse isn't fit to ref a kids game so there's no point arguing. Nothing we can do about the ref, there IS something we can do about our concentration level and the way we play.

Dagger had a great game (Sheens didn't give him a chance).
Owen Harrison had a great game (Sheens never played him, he just sat as a sub for 80 mins).
Addy was rubbish then got injured.
Mulhern played great (in the last 40 seconds).
Drinkwater was just awful (again).

Now Smith has seen them first hand, lets see what he can do to help them.
