Penny would have scored in that space Evans had towards the end.

Yeah Evans managed to do his left-right-left trademark dummy sidesteps until the opportunity was lost.

Massive choke.

I think warrington will lose next week but make the Grand final and then lose that to complete the clean sweep of runners up. A feat Tony Smith has managed before in 2005 with Leeds. Enjoy.

As a side note, I know everyone rates Gidleigh but I don't think he's all that, steady player but not been impressed in pressure games. Thought if he let the ball gone when he chose to run it himself we would have scored

Season over and deservedly so after that. Horror show.

For the love of god play a winger though! Smith is too stubborn for his own good.

I'm a supporter of Smith but I am wondering if the shelf life has come to the end. Squad recruitment and selection and inability to get the players to close out tight game. 2013,14,15 and likely 16 without a pot is not what we have come to expect.

I would have thought his experience would help us close out tight games, or at least kicking game keeping opposition on back foot. But then again you can't blame him for the stupid errors we make. That pass that Atkins let sail into touch for one.

I'm with you and have been a supporter of him myself, but he just seemed to have a oh well nevermind attitude, the only thing is could he become a Wenger of RL?

Thought you had won that when Flower went off. Hopefully your confidence will be shot after the way you lost and we can beat you next week for the shield.

The wheels fell off when Hill went off for a rest 2nd half. We rely waaaaay too much on that bloke.

21 unanswered points against 12 men. Pathetic.

That grinning twonk Smith needs to grow a pair, and start the teaching himself and his players some self belief. Doubtless he'll come out with a few poop cliches for Sky, and but the blame for this.......... AARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH, I AM SO PEED OFF.

I couldn't give two stiff ones, if Tiernan had a fingernail on the line. WE CAPITULATED.

Gas masks, the loving lot of them.

Cast your minds back to the GF of 3 years ago, against the same opposition. We have a big lead, and and we switched off, and didn't score another point. It had little to do with injuries, just lack of professionalism. We don't learn.

Time to earn your money, Smith.
