It's certainly a fine line that's for sure, the good thing is we survived and fortunately he's free to play and give the coach different options on Sunday should he choose to.

I don't think bjb even slowed down the ptb much, there were many slower ones in general play. Very harsh imo.
Dk binning? No idea why.

Discretion is difficult though.
Even if BJB was out cold, it wasn't Warrington's fault and they were delayed from playing the ball and scoring a near certain try.

I think he got it right.

From the north stand with the cross bar obstructing my view to an extent, I'm not really sure what his injury was but if it was a head injury which I'm lead to believe then surely it's the responsibility of the referee to ensure the health and welfare of the injured player.
Because there's a certain amount of doubt surrounding the incident and the lapse in time in restarting because of the alleged injury surely common sense should have prevailed and a penalty sufficient.

He didn't do otherwise though. His welfare was taken care of.
He gave BJB all the time he needed to be treated, and then gave the advantage back to Warrington as the rules say he should.

It's all a personal view and I'm clearly biased towards BJB anyway but I was at that end and have seen the video as well and he didn't look so bad to me that he couldn't have rolled away..... but even if he couldn't, it still delayed Warrington and they deserved the ref to follow the rules after the guy was treated.

Kirmond got sin-binned for tripping...watched the match on DVD last night and as the Warrington player side-steps Kirmo, he sticks an arm and a leg out and the Warrington player hits the floor....penalty definitely, sin-bin probably.

I've got no real issue with the binning of BJB or Kirmond; they were perhaps rather harsh, but he's a brand new ref on debut, so he'll have been working to the letter of the law.

My only gripe is the lack of equity in how England and Gidley were treated after the fact by the MRP - it turns out that despite the protestations of Wire fans, Gidley threw the first punch, so the ref actually did the right thing in walking them both - but only one player copped a further ban.

What a superb win. Stuck to the task and took our chances. Good composure for the drop goal from Miller.

Done without being at our best also without England, Moore and Lynne

I know for some on here it will be difficult but don't we think it is about time we stop giving our prejudiced view of any of the squad.

Does that include our chairman

Yes, Miller & Finn are clearly not good enough for SL



Seriously though, Miller was magnificent today (even without his drop goal effort, to win the game) and both of them came in for some special attention from today's opposition.
This group of players are playing as a team with every player from 1-17 busting a gut for the cause.
It's notable that we no longer make a mistake and then give a penalty on the back of it, the team spirit is THE best that I've ever seen at Trinity.
We are playing like a top team, beating top 4 clubs and it's just exciting to follow Wakefield Trinity.

We goy hammered for 25+ minutes in the first half and yet managed to get the score just before HT to keep us in with a sniff.

Brilliant effort and BJB and Miller had their best game since they arrived at Trin.

Nobody is a passenger now, with every player contributing to the performance, magnificent.

Arundal did a lot of quiet stuff today.
Made good yards when others weren't and put a great pass out for BJB try.

Would also pick Ashurst out too, though they Al did well.

Great team effort and a fantastic drop goal from Miller to win it.

So, Sts win to keep Hudds down at the bottom and lacking confidence for the CCup game.
Or
Hudds win because we are targeting St Helens's spot in the table

Great effort today.
Especially after Sio's dubious 'on report' tackle late on.
Come on The Trin!

That was embarrassing, it shouldn't have even been a penalty

Agreed, if that was a spear tackle, we might as well start playing touch n pass.

Thought the ref was generally ok but, he certainly got one or two things wrong.
A big thank you to Pat Richards today, my new favourite player

I thought the ref was mediocre at best with some dubious calls but the lads didn't let anything get to them and I think today ranks as one of the best performances I have seen in years. Catalans tried everything and we must have been blowing out of our backsides but somehow extra effort was found and we not only matched em but beat em. Well done to all. Great day to be a Wakey fan

We could be looking for ANOTHER hooker or is there just me that thinks the RLF are doing their level best to destabilise The Trin??????

We've beaten another one of the top form teams
Well done wakey !!!!!

Once again they couldn't handle our pace !
Really looking forward to the Salford game

I honestly thought we were going to struggle in the second half, Catalans had pummelled our defence over and over and we hardly had any possession. To win that second half the way we did showed amazing courage, we didn't have Anthony England our best forward against the biggest Catalans could muster. You have to be so proud of everyone of them

Superb effort from 1 to 17 for the full 80 minutes. We managed to keep Taylor quiet and to come back the way we did in the last 15 minutes just goes to show what a fantastic work ethic exists in this current bunch of players.
As for the drop goal, even the commentary team couldn't believe that he had gone for it....outstanding!!
Even Chezzie was surprised :-

"I thought, 'What are you doing?' I thought he had no chance but he got it through the posts and that just shows the confidence of Milky at the minute.

I also thought we would suffer late in the game due to the amount of defending we had to do during the game. The Catalans coach was the first one to give us credit with the win, not like some others that blamed viruses etc. The drop goal was phenominal.

I'm glad BJB had a good game, it will please those what stuck by him and quieten his detractors for a while.
