IMHO Widnes thought they could out muscle and rough up a weakened Trinity team putting them off their game but it didn't work and they lost the game with the better team winning in the 79th minute...

I understand that put it put us under a lot of pressure, IMO we made it harder for ourselves.

With the two points now in the bag, it no longer matters
Still buzzing after the win, onwards and upward.

If it was Him it wouldn't take 4 months for the injury to heal, and your blinkered vision would be healed.

Well argued.

What really is funny though is you & other Widnes fans thinking you can read the refs mind & claim he definitely wouldn't have given nothing (penalty at most) till Moore ran over & pushed him off the injured Gibson. That's some logic.

Widnes fans were not disputing the penalty given (although I think the yellow card was harsh), we were more aggrieved with the fact it wasn’t even going to be a penalty to you until Scott Moore ran from 20 metres to start pushing Ah Van around which caused a melee, which resulted in Ah Van being sin binned. If Scott Moore hadn’t of ran in from 20 metres that wouldn't have been a penalty never mind a yellow card- that is not right. It also set the precedent for the game- run in from 20 metres and start a melee and you get away jack free.

I think you missed the point of my post

If a player goes off badly injured. Both sets of fans generally tend to clap the player off. It's as a sign of respect
In this case though the Widnes fans didn't clap an injured player off

We all know the class of Widnes fans, so no surprise there. It's a good job it wasn't at home, I'd have feared for Daddy Cool's life.

To be honest I don't think you have to read Cobb's mind to see he wasn't going to give a penalty, he stood with our defensive line until the pushing started, likewise the touch judge, stood two yards away with a perfect view, didn't raise his flag until after Moore ran in. If they were going to give something they had plenty of time to do so before Usain Moore ran 20 yards.

But, to even things up, Cobb also gave play on when Moore smashed PAV, but then decided it was a high tackle after the brawl.

I thought he was poor all round and lost total control for around fifteen minutes in the first half, only gaining some sort of responsibility after you scored.

Thanks Denis Betts! I wonder if Betts will receive a fine for being over critical of the referee to the media? 'Worst refereeing he has witnessed in 30 years' etc! http://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/n ... n-30-years He probably deserves it and didn't apologise unlike his England Assistant Coach pre decessor the ex- Bradford coach Jimmy Lowes after the million pound game... ....two peas in a pod there..I'm sure Bennett is looking forward to working with him!
