A tweet from a true professional:

@Jasnev16: Well done to @WiganWarriorsRL on their typically great sportsmanship. Holding the ball in the scrum. #cheatingc##ts


The ironic thing is, we are actually playing within the rules of the game, they are the ones breaking the rules by being offside. Maybe he's taken too many big hits to the head in his career to see that.

I reckon Charnley may well have got away from his tackler anyway there had Silverwood not blown for the penalty. We were playing to the rules doing what we did, I mean seriously, aside from just listening for the refs call, how difficult is it for the Hull KR scrum half to watch the ball and shout 'Out!'? Plenty kids amateur teams seem to have cracked it

It's an understandable dummy-spit. It's just bugging him that his team's Wembley is nothing more for us than a play-offs warm-up, and they still didn't manage to win it.

How thick have Salford and HKR been keep falling for that trick?

Couldn't believe HKR got done twice last night after us trying it against Salford.

It's a risk and reward play. If HKR stay bound and Wigan do that then the ball comes out very slowly and HKR make the tackle close to the scrum.

If they break early then there's a very good chance they will be correctly penalised.

Could of swore keeping the ball in the scrum (in the second row) was outlawed after Warrington kept doing it a few years ago.

Really dont like it, accounts to nothing more than a cheap trick, whose only real comeback is to contest the scrum (which rarely, if ever happens)

No it isn't outlawed. The ball is in play when it comes from BEHIND the second row. HKR clearly broke before that.

Trapping the ball at loose was outlawed (or rather, the ball is deemed to be out once it's past the second row) so now we trap it in the second row. A smart defence would start pushing at that point and possibly win the scrum by doing so

I thought it was smart play & keeps the oposition honest, I am only angry that our team fell for it TWICE, after the first time they should have shoved the Wigan pack back over their own try line as has happened down under recently.

He has now deleted his tweets! Hope wane has got a screenshot for next season.

Assuming that is his verified account that's a very poor show from him. It was poor discipline from HKR for moving up before the ball is out of the scrum, to then do it a second time was simply stupid on their part.

Funny that, I didn't hear him complaining when all the KR tacklers were holding our men down in the last couple of minutes.

Had to log in for this one. Thats the most classic comment i have read for a while on this cabbage patch forum.

Please take the time to watch the game and count. Count how long your side hold down. Now before you drop your pie in your lap, Wigan were doing it VERY well, very well organised, adding men and peeling off very slowly, men still moving so it asthetically looks like they are trying as fast as they can.

The time is beyond a joke at times. Really really slow the PTB down. If your going on actual seconds, then you have no legs to stand on. If your going on 'visual' then yeah it looks worse because we dont possess the wrestle and delaying skills that Wigan have learnt. Jealous of it, yes, because you get away with it.

You should go to Twitter and follow RL Meltdown... You find all the other losers saying the same thing......

Wigan were slowing the play the ball down that much even Stevo picked up on it,

looked like you'd done too much MMA training

The time you listen to what Stevo says is the time to book an appointment with the doctor.

You wouldn't have heard him saying anything, because like the rest of their team, he couldn't get his breath in the last 10 minutes.

The only story here is that Wigan were dire and uninterested, and yet even though it was Rovers' biggest game of the year and "they played really, really well" (Stevo

), they still couldn't win it.

They didn't lose

If you give your best and most highly motivated performance of the season in a 'must-win' match, against a complacent team who are already in the play-offs and who on top of that have gifted you one of their worst performances of the season, and yet still you can only manage a draw - trust me, you're a loser.

Who?

Hull KR were stupid to fall for the same play twice, Netherton has no one to blame but himself and his team mates.

It's hard to like Wigan when you read the bandwagon jumpers comments as in this thread.
If you want meltdowns and dummy spitting read the match thread for this game on your own forum.

What happened to Tomkins at rara? We looked disinterested until he retrofitting everyone. Then he upset Costigan and promptly disappeared.
He might have been a hardman at Saracens but really what a mardy tw#t.
Bit like some of your fans.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

They didn't lose
