what? that was the video ref, he clearly had to go upstairs with it. was clearly a knock on, just a question of who to give the ball to. christ, even clarkey wasn't complaining with the decision. the strip was horrible but all referees get some of those wrong week in week out.

someone mentioned the first disallowed try, replays showed it was a good decision. finch's try might well have been a knock on, but i don't think the camera angles would have been good enough to overturn it, and i certainly don't begrudge him for making the quick, confident decision.

he did make a really bad string of errors around the 55-60 minute mark (nearly all against wigan) but up until then it was a pretty competent display i thought.

Bit early for Finch in my opinion. He's a class player, no doubt about that. But anybody would struggle a little coming into a big game like that with no match fitness.

I thought we were very good in all aspects on friday, particularly defence. And as much as Wigan fans won't admit it, I honestly dont think there was that much between the sides. And there won't be when we meet again later in the year.

Looks like Jeff is the new scapegoat.

So far for me, he's done pretty much what Fielden does..........the hard graft that goes un-noticed.

I agree with the above statement but we already have prop forwards who can do that job for us effectively. What Wigan need is a prop that makes more headway similar to Morley or Carvell which we do not have currently. I may have been harsh in using the term 'crap' earlier, he does find the ground well for quicker PTB's but for a man who counts as an overseas player with probably a decent amount of salary cap money I don't think, so far, its money well spent simply because we have other players who can do that job already at the club.

Lima isn’t doing anything different than what he did for the Storm.

He’s a hard worker in both attack and defence but he’s certainly not a barnstormer and never has been either.

He’s fitted in perfectly with our other sets of props and for me when Hock and Fielden return we’ll have the best pack in SL.

I’ve absolutely no issues with how our pack has played this season.

Hoffman has been superb,
Faz, Mossop & Prescott have all kicked on and fulfilling their potential.
Lima, Coley and Hansen are all working hard and doing their jobs as well as anyone could ask.
Lockers has been excellent seeing he’s been asked to play HB and LF this season. He was my MOM against Hudds and turned the game vs Hull.
Mcilorum will get better week after week but we’ve still got Tommy to move there as Finch is back.

+1 its our backs that arent finishing the job.
