18-6 up, wind at our backs, Wakefield with a man in the bin.
35 minutes in and Rovers have managed to do 1 good thing - Dobson's 40-20. Webster then shouts abuse at the ref on the first tackle from the scrum.

Oh well, only Leeds next week.

Dismal second half performance.

Wakefield certainly turned it around .... again.

Fair play to The Wildcats, totally outplayed and outenthused Rovers in the second half. Too many basic errors for Rovers who looked totally flat after the two try burst that turned the game.

The first half was good as well. I think that we went into conservative mode with the lead and as the rain came down and then couldn't change to pose a threat.

Still it happens - we need to react the way Wakefield did.

As an aside Childs, the ref, was top notch and only 26 years old.

It was an absolute joke!

Why on earth we never come out all guns blazing looking for one try to wrap the game up I will never know.

yeah its nice to see a ref actually have a good game... lets hope he sticks to his guns and doesnt go the way the rest of them have!

Decent game from Childs.

Defeat today down to a very effective second half by Wakefield both in attack and defence.

We made a few unforced errors and had some poor discipline at times , but it was Wakefield controlling the half that won it for them.

Ref had a great game, but the video ref got that try wrong, Briscoe got his hand under that ball.

I'm biased and so are you but it wasn't conclusive either way and the simple rule is benefit of doubt to the attacking team. Let's be honest yo have had at least one this year

Tough call. My first impression was no try. Never saw a definite try with it, but that final zoomed in shot looked like it might have just been on. Evened up the try against Cas, I suppose, the other week.

Im not biased, im Wire, but i defo thought Briscoe got his hand under there.

He did.

Unfortunately for him the ball had already touched the whitewash a second earlier.

If so, i got it wrong.

very hard to see it. at first i thought no try, but after looking at it again and again, it was inconclusive = benefit of the doubt to attacking team

For the vast majority of the match our discipline was shocking and if the players don't get this sorted fast then they will continually make things very hard for themselves.

Had we had 50% of the ball we'd have won the game comfortably but it seemed a rare occurrence we could defend a set of 6 without giving away a penalty. All this after some great attacking play in the first-half - muppets...

Does anyone else have a problem with this benefit of the doubt rubbish ! Who's idea was this stupid rule. Its either a try or it isn't. If you can't see the try being scored then it's no try. Only in rugby league could this be deemed a good rule.

Unfortunately for you tonight Fox got in the way of the angle that would have given the clearest picture.

if he wasnt there i think it would have been turned down

Your right in what you say but why should the attacking team receive preference in this situation. Should not the defence be rewarded. Again I say, if you cannot see the try being scored how can you award it.

what on earth got into Webster mouthing off like that to the ref. Fantastic 40-20 then he does that, game over.

Frustration.

The game for me was still pretty much lost before then, we once again lacked creativity in the opponents 20m!

i know liam watts has been getting big raps. but the kid is a penalty machine. the one he gave away on the last tackle must have been one of the dumbest i have seen all year

Because ever since the publication of The Laws of the Game of Rugby League, there has to be a reason to disallow a try. If you can't find a reason to disallow it, it is allowed. Now that has served the game well for over 100 years.

What's your problem?

Full pack off Aussie

your coach is a joke, FFS Morgan give the british boys a go.

Seems like you only have an issue with it when goes against you. One word...... Hypocrite!
