not too menshion wigan slowing every play the ball down.

and they got penalised for the ones where they took too long. Justice.

He didn't even look at King, yes he is a clever player but all he was doing was supporting the player, he has every right to do that. Take your blinkers off, watch the re run of the game and try to be unbias in your assessment, he did not intentionally get in Kings way. It was an awesome game but you cannot blame the ref or VR for your loss. Most of the posts on here from wire fans are very sensible and sporting, you and rmp just sound bitter at losing out in a remarkable game. It was a great spectacle and played in the right spirit in a good ground with a great atmosphere, try and see it for what it was rather than turning on abnormally good officials. Refs get in the back more than any player, sometimes rightly so but tonight credit has to be given to all officials.

you still bitter about us signing atkins? sounds like...

Robbed? Never!

Next topic...

Why, when Atkins has done all since he signed for us?

if that was the case we'd of got a penalty on every tackle.

Tell me how on earth I sound bitter??? I've said it was a great game and the ref penalised and missed things on both sides. The ONLY thing I can't say I agree with is that particular try. It's nothing to do with being biased and everything to do with it not being a try. It's stupid to say that Gleeson didn't do it on purpose because he wasn't looking at King. He knew where King was and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know which direction he was going in.

Not at all, players move on. Atkins in my opinion won't be a major loss, hes a powerful centre but not a classy one. We have a player with more class who has been signed to take over his spot in Daryl Millard. Wouldn't have minded Sol back though, he'll be awesome for you when fully fit - a truly world class player

Top performance by him tonight.

Not really how many penalties where given for holding down by Wigan and they didn't even get a warning.

But the game was a brilliant advert for this sport, it's a shame there had to be a loser.

Dont you just love beating wire! Ahhh warms my heart reading thesr hillarious excuses!

And it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that Gleeson is going to be running in the same direction as the player with the ball in order to collect a short pass/offload off the player in posession should he get caught.

Is there any chance that Parrot can be stopped from posting such one-eyed, blinkered nonsense, as all he seems intent on doing is tarring all Wire fans with the 'idiot' brush that he obviously uses??

A great game tonight, but there is absolutely no complaints with the result...2 even sides, 2 points between us, could have gone either way.

You are the Ref.

The Wigan players are taking longer than Richie Mylers Parrot thinks they should be doing clearing away from the tackle. Do you
A) Listen to him and realise he knows it all
B) believe that the officials have a better idea of the situation and trust your instincts
C) Commend both sets of teams and most fans for a great evening of RL

about time... like someone said before it goes to show how far weve come when the wigan fans are celebrating like they have won a cup final after three games.

In Smith I Trust.

So gonna recieve a pass from on top of him is he?

Good in defense and took a few hit ups going forward. More solid than top I'd say. Monaghan gave what I'd call a top performance

Rubbish get the rule book out ..then remember them..don't make your own up

Behave there was some shocking/controversal decisions tonight.

put the kleenex away..you`ve broke a long awaited duck..well done..not h&j virgins any more

Well when he was running just to the back right of him, I'd guess that was the plan yes.

Mate how old are you (serious question)

This is a loaded question btw
I await your answer

Ermmm - is this a trick question?



Never seen a pass slipped out to another player right alongside the ball carrier?

Perfectly legitimate play and correct decision by the VR. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't really understand the game or the laws.

No, there wasn't....the decisions you seem intent on saying were wrong wewre actually correct....Goulding's try was a try, so was the disputed Robert's one....What else are you crying about????....
