Agree with all this and with my b&w glasses on I would question at least a couple of their tries.


Not sure on ruling but if an attacker is laid on a defender who is in touch does that not mean the attacker is in touch? But that aside if it takes that long to prove the ref was wrong then it isn?t an obvious error which is what the vr is for?


I thought the Wardle try was an obstruction and how can Thaler claim that the defender (Briscoe) initiated the contact when Nsemba was in his way and he just ran into him. That was what happened in the earlier try and no problem with that one.


We were poor though and made some bad errors and lost composure.


A good lesson learned hopefully?

Very disappointing performance from the boys, but hopefully, we will turn it around next week.

Then, a handy little break.
Is anyone close to returning?

Am i the only one who thinks Amir should be subbed earlier to change the speed of the game?

Thought we played fine in the first half, was causing them problems in attack and didn't seem to struggle to make meters coming out of yardage, it was individual errors which killed us, and against a team like Wigan you are ultimately going to be punished.


The Second half was easily the worst of the year so far, we looked out on our feet. Its been a big month and players doing more minutes than they probably ought to which seemed to catch up to us. We had a good spell of possession in their half and never looked like scoring.


Hopefully we can get through MW with a win and the players can get a few days off to freshen up.

I'm surprised by how many minutes Bourouh plays, and was calling for Balmforth to come on earlier, but Denive really didn't look fit at all when he came on. 

Me too.

To be fair to DB back from a long injury and only a short period to try and affect a change in the game is a lot to ask.

Hopefully, he will get back to some fom soon.

burough has done ok but I don't think he's been as good as some make out.  Some of his passing from dummy half has been woeful and really slows down the attack.  I'd also like to see him run more to engage the defence rather than just darts out of dummy half.  He's also been overplayed.


The whole forward pack is struggling due to playing too many minutes and it's starting to catch us up.  With 2 proper second rowers starting and one on the bench with 2 props it gives us much more flexibility.  cartwright obviously doesn't trust the likes of balmforth and eseh in tight games meaning burough, herman and knight playing too many minutes.


If herman doesn't come through I do genuinely worry about hudds on Sunday.  If they get a few back and we're even more under strength they could catch us
