Conversion is good.
4 - 30 , 6 minutes to go.

Myler in from kick from Currie. Conversion to come.

4-34

Ben Currie makes a break, kicks inside and Myler scores.

4-36 FT

Wire FM called it a "thoroughly professional performance", which I'm not sure I would agree with... Or even entertain as a descriptive option of today's performance.

Widnes are losing 28 - 12, if that score stays the same then we are up to 5th which is our highest standing this year.

Two terrible sides in the first half and some clueless out of touch with play refereeing.

Second half Warrington were marginally better while Wakefield were significantly worse.

Should we have been down to 12 men within the first 10 minutes?

That's how it sounded. We hit a purple patch and made it count, whereas Wakefield look like a club praying that Bradford will keep their points deduction.

In terms of where we are collectively and individually, Friday night is the one that matters. I fully expect the campaign to reinstate Myler to the halves is already underway but I remain sceptical. But then I would, I'm a Mozza fan you know.

Out of interest, was there anything specific that was "clueless out of touch refereeing"? Can't say I noticed too much myself.

I wasn't at the game, so I can only comment based on radio commentary, but 17+ penalties speaks of out of touch refereeing.

The Wakey fans couldn't spake (in the loudest, most vocal way possible) at some of the calls.

EDIT: I can't recall who Wire FM said the ref was but I think they said he was one of the most inexperienced available, which could explain a lot. Perhaps not a fair comparison, but in the last game at Wilderspool the young ref was very happy to blow up. I think getting a feel for a game, getting in touch with it, and allowing it to flow comes with experience.

17+ penalties to me sounds like two teams that couldn't keep their discipline.

Ben Currie had an absolute stormer today, threw an outrageous dummy to make the break for the Bridge try and then did something very similar for the Myler try aswell. Recommend watching them both on the Super League show. His potential is frightening considering he is a forward.

From what I heard on the radio, this also played a large part in the penalty count.

Thats good to hear , because so far this season he's looked pretty poor up until the last two or three weeks , he's been well and truly overshadowed by Laithwaite imo.

from what i have heard he has been still recovering from the virus which caused him to lose a lot of weight at the end of last season. Also people have to remember he is still 19!

Go on, I'll ask the question that is on the lips of everyone who didn't attend:

What degree wash is best for getting chocolate and tonic-wine stains out of my best fleecy long johns?

Oh sorry, wrong website.

I mean "How did big Roy Go?"

The word 'Alright' pretty much covers his performance.

Come Bradford away he may well become Steve Roach#2

The ref today seemed obsessed with giving penalties for crossing but a lot of poor handling kept putting us under needless pressure. A goalkicker or extra practice for Bridge is a must ,it's no good going towards the business end of the season with one arm tied behind your back . Westwood 's tackle may have looked worse than it was but it was put on report.

Well, on the positive side, we picked up the two points, rested two players, and the gamble of moving Currie to centre paid off handsomely. Not only did he make full use of his pace, but he will also have gained a lot of confidence from that performance. And of course Myler got a run out - yes he has been underwhelming this season, but another fit player gives us more options, plus he can only improve from his early season displays. But it sounded a very scrappy affair and I counted three dropped balls from England alone. Doubtless the conditions didn't help together with another player re-shuffle, but good sides have to cope with this if they are to challenge for the pots.

Fortunately, we are still in both knock out competitions, so anything can happen.

To be honest I've yet to meet anyone, and I can safely include referees in this assertion given Ganson's comments on SKY, who knows or can explain the correct interpretation of the crossing rule.

It is an utter farce, seems to be exempt of logic and a total lottery.

The sudden return to form of Ben Currie is a real bonus, whilst only a few weeks ago some were also slagging off Ben Harrison, who has also now played himself into a bit of form. i was impressed with ryan Atkins last week and if Myler can get his confidence back then Tony Smith could have a real, but very pleasant, problem on his hands.
