Enjoyable game, however one of the worst officiating of a game I have ever seen, for BOTH sides.
The ref lost the game and looked out of his depth.
Without the aid from the touch judges, I genuinely felt sorry for him.
The RFL need to do something to improve the standered of refereeing to avoid this happening to another ref... but that's another topic.

On the game we did very well but lost abit of structure when we lost Ridyard.
Our last play options in the last 7 minutes or so was baffling.
Both teams stuck to a hard working game plan and though Wigan's dirty side was on show in parts I think a point each was a fair result.

Another gutsy performance and our unbeaten run continues. Ref was awful but then again Wigan are masters at pushing the rules to make it hard for the ref and are constantly either offside, holding down or feigning to gain pens. Wanes world is not a style of play I ever want to watch but unfortunately they get away with it and gain points from it.
Drawn home and away against the pies so we have their measure and probably should have won both or at least very easily could have.
Really impressed with Hinchy defo MOM for me. Pleased to see Darnall get a go and despite the one drop he did really well. Has often got some good go forward given his size. Murphy is playing better than ever - Mr Reliable and runs back really solidly.
Hope Ridyard isn't too badly injured - seemed to be his shoulder and arm in a sling at the end. What is it about us and HBs this year??
The great escape is still on

7 points from the last 8 is class and has definitely been earned through sheer desire and enthusiasm.
So on to Salford to avenge our home defeat. COYG

Hewer is a Championship referee and part time.
He works for BNFL in Cumbria.
Should never have been appointed.
Too slow, he looked unfit in the warm up. Couldn't keep up with the game.
Must be someone missing to give the game to a p/t refefree.
Thought it was a goodish game in awful conditions.

What a surprise.........the ref cost us.........look at our injuries...........the joys of being a lower end team........

Oooh trinity- what an unpleasant surprise- not seen you on here since we've been winning. Good to see wakey have resorted to their only playing a decent half a season plan for the 8s. Looks like you are destined to never finish in the top four of the competition. Still 5th would equal your best ever from a almost decade ago. That's looking dodgy. I reckon you will win four more this season. Shame about that nightmare pass from woody- How's grix going by the way- not so good lately I hear....

Go to Sky Sports and watch Wigans second try it's over the line at the back of the in goal area it's not even close.

The in goal judge stood indicating no try Hewer and the useless linesman over ruled him.

Considering we had Mamo, Turner, Ferguson, Rapira, Symonds, Lawrence and O'Brien sat in the stand and Ridyard off early and injured, will be interesting to see if that ones reviewed on Monday, I think we did well for a team the bookies gave a 6pt start.

As one who thought Rick Stone should have gone after the Swinton debacle he has since proved me wrong and we are improving and appear to have regained some desire to the point where a win against Leigh or Widnes should see us safe.

We doing history again jools???............remind me again how many times your shower finished bottom...........only to be saved time and again by the rfl..............at least you've managed to put 4 decent games together in a season and half............and fartoewn.........if you want to see a proper crippling injury list take a peek at ours..........but we won't have 10 pages and every other post whinging about it...........and Grix has done fine jools.........his work is done for this season.............playing under better coaches and with better players seems to suit him...........how are the Bradford 7 doing????............I've heard you plan to raid Batley this close season...........

once again the giants showed great determination and team work...didnt get the full rewards but with a ref performance like that lastnight you will always struggle!

one of the worst refs i have seen in a long time and thats saying something, wigan were offside a number of time..especially oloughlin who was stood infront of the ref and once even the ref pointed at him to say hes offside only to then let him make a tackle!


tomkins, bateman and oloughlin thought they were the refs tonight too.
the late shoulder charge on ridyard when unpenalised too. as for the wigan second try well that was on the line at best!!







if we had ridyard on the field we would have win that game, he can manage a game something brough cant... why was brough kicking on the 4th tackle near the end?! and putting in poor kicks?! terrible, ridyard would have done the right thing and likely slotted over a drop goal too.

at least brough brought his kicking boots lastnight.

still its a point gained, with our better points diff its like a win, well done giants

mcintosh was as much to blame for that game with murphy.

takes some trolling when someone comes on here after their own team pummelled at hull !

shakefield fans are obsessed with the giants



where's the other one chissit???!!

Hahahahaha..........worse ref ever............since last week anyway............or was it week before............no child's is the worse..............no Campbell...................no hicks....... .....I'm sure you'll all be on here admitting you were wrong when you see the second try slowed down............or not..........embarrassing giant fans always whinging...........

I will guarantee you now come the very end of the season will finish ahead of you.

And..........

Which will prove Grix is not playing with better players.....

Basically you have taken advantage of all the other clubs injury problems (which is fair enough) and now clubs are getting players and bodies back you wont get anything from the remaining games of the season....including Widnes.

Your fans have got too excited and, just jog on back to your own forum big lad.

brearley it's me he's obsessed with, he used to follow me around another forum like a lapdog, he now stalks me on here. He's a bit of a masochist as he's never once got the better of my but keeps coming back for more.

Obsessed with you I course I was

, how could I be when it was so difficult to keep track of you, you never had the same user name long enough with the embarrassment you caused yourself, sugar then marsdengiant, then cb james that's if they were you and your not just attention seeking again, having seen the size of your but I doubt anybody could get the better of that.

It's good though that I'm still in your thoughts

Oh dear chisset you have the wrong person on two counts. One I have always been Jools on here 6 years in fact if you check my profile. Never had the need to hide my identity. Most on here know who I am personally- two I was talking about the stalker trinity....... the one with a dot fetish.....

Hewer got absolutely bullied. I felt sorry for him, but he shouldn't be a ref if he can't make his own mind up.

Thought we played OK last night, I've got to say I'm glad I don't support Wigan, Brough has the odd hissy fit, but to have Tomkins x 2, OLoughlin, Williams, Burgess all mouthing off, getting in the faces and swearing at referees is quite frankly embarrassing!

jools my dear please accept my apologies for thinking you were referring to me which in fairness to me I did say I have my doubts, and also for stupidly mistaking you for that vindictive thing what masqueraded as those mentioned.

Jools...........tell them about when you were desperate to meet me.........and then turned up with your mum in tow........hahahahaha................love how you've knicked the stalking line from your 3 man forum....... hahahahaha...........jake..... ..We'll speak later.....

Trin, trin, trin I can honestly say I have never been desperate to meet you.
Neither have I ever turned up to meet you with my mum or otherwise. You really need to separate your fantasies from the reality.

Getting over the denial is the first step..............

You need to find someone who can help you with that trin.

they do it all the time

remember when bateman went to the ref other season at half time and influenced him... he ref'd the game different second half and anderson wasnt happy at all
