All I can say is how to lose a game in a minute. Dooh.

No, I mean the prop from Hull, who was isolating or had COVID and missed the last couple of games, sub against York

Did anyone see the incident. I listened on the radio and Mick said the linesman gave it, which suggests the ref didn't see it. Fleming carries the ball high and has had a good season. All well and good saying he's an idiot but we needed a bit of size and attitude and he brings that.

Absolutely stupid penalty to give away

There’s a video on Twitter showing the incident. Clear as day.

Yes the Fleming incident was just plain stupid. To give a penalty away when you are in possession is bad enough but with less than 20 seconds to go in a game you are winning by a point is just criminal.

I thought the DFJ ‘forward’ try looked fine though so maybe a bit hard done by with that but I guess that’s the luck of the draw. Hopefully it evens out and the ref misses a forward pass from us during the playoffs

It's poor but I'd be more disappointed with a left centre who can't run or pass backwards.

Yeah they looked nothing wrong with that pass. When you see some forward passes that get let go, it beggars belief they see a forward pass in that play. We do seem to get some rough calls at Widnes. The obstruction call last year, i also remember (I think it was Jack Owens) blatently knocking a kick on in the in-goal which proved the decisive score. Think it was in our miserable relegation year in SL so there was an in-goal TJ at the time.

Anyway it's not the reason we lost. We were winning, with the ball with less than a minute left. Wouldn't like to be the players at training tonight.
