I agree he’s not as good a player as when he was in the England squad, I just don’t think he’s the reason Warrington physically dominated down the middle last week.

Do Featherstone still do discounted tickets for Leeds season ticket holders? Wouldn’t mind seeing the Leeds and PNG players.

He isnt the sole reason no i agree but in terms of SC & his CV he's an expensive passenger & no better than Singleton who got dropped.
Wrt Fev i do believe there is some ticket deal on but best ring & check.

Embarrassing from Watkins that. Very bad, no excuses.

A great try from Brett Ferres, speed, power and determination.

Re: SL RD 2 | Wigan Warriors (A) : Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:15 pm  

Terrible call from the ref not to give that as a knock on. It was obvious the way ball came back.

Crap call for the forward pass from Merrin. Watkins is miles off the pace - should have had Newman in the 17 after all.

Another terrible decision, and punished again, awful officiating.

Re: SL RD 2 | Wigan Warriors (A) : Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:23 pm  

25 minutes in and there have been three really bad calls - not seeing Wigan knock on near their own line, not seeing Wigan knock on and the resulting try and now a non-existent forward pass takes our clean break and likely try and turns it into a Wigan try. It could/should be 6-18, instead it's 16-12.

The officials are going to really make us work for everything tonight.

How did they miss those two forward passes? Ridiculous this.

Re: SL RD 2 | Wigan Warriors (A) : Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:26 pm  

Yep. I often think the refs are harshly done by as they have a massive amount to do and every call is scrutinised.

However I don’t understand how an experienced ref can give those calls. The Wigan knock on before their try was obvious. It was clear how the ball came flying backwards as the Wigan man was moving forward that it was a knock on. And the forward pass was just ridiculous.

Thaler has given the momentum to Wigan.
