Who thought he was all smart and clever making Pat Richards come all the way to the wing to retrieve the ball for his conversion.

He obviously didn't realize that his team just lost the lead with only a few minutes remaining.

Idiot.

Idiot.

Ref had already called time off which was the only correct decision the ref made during that particular passage of play waving play on after Wigan knocked on at the play the ball.

As for the ball boy no manners but what a critic. personally I reckon it would have been funnier had he kicked it or passed it to Richards deliberately kicking or throwing it past him.

Not the kids fault. He was responsible for making sure there is a ball on the sideline for when it goes out of play (eg following a penalty), hence why he finally placed it on the touchline - that's all he had been briefed to do!

We all laughed. Were hoping he was going to go the whole hog and chin Silverwood too.

Was it a bit too far for poor old Pat to walk? Bless.

There was a funny moment when Pat took the kick, a bloke in front shouted:
"It's ok Pat, if you miss, he'll let you have another go!"
Made me laugh anyway.

Silverwood wasn't watching anyway, he was too busy getting his instructions from O'Loughlin.

A captain in the ref's face. Wonder why it's never occurred to Braddford's.

One that was injured, but spent more time on the pitch than half the bench.

What with him coaching Silverdud and Forshaw coaching the Wigan team on the park for so much of the time, it was like watching a 15-man Union side.

I see the pointless, constant and un-warrented whinging & moaning doesn't just stay on the terraces at Odsal.
