Seems a bit risky to me but we'll see.

Good luck to anyone with car parking booked at the stadium, absolute chaos.

Went up a level today. Men against boys.

Currently injured myself so couldn't make it - Wigan far too good in all areas. Very difficult to stop in good weather. Harry Smith outside of the goalkicks was exceptional. We looked far better with a Havard/Thompson set up. Thompson is an exceptional athlete - great 80 minute performance from him.

The BBC production was just awful. Wilkin being his usual arrogant, egotistical self and the worst commentary trio Iv heard. What on earth they were going on about complaining that the ref should have called O'Neill's forward pass in the build up to the first try. Offside was the first offence and therefore takes precedence.

Super performance all round

Agree MD, offside was the first offence.
They don't know that as soon as the dummy half touches the ball it's offside. The ref allows the team in possession to play until the first tackle then he blows. As he did today! If the team in possession go and score without a tackle being made the try is allowed.
The summarisers should know that. That they don't means they need to up their game!
Perhaps they should try taking the referees courses to learn the rules of the game!

That Wilkin forward pass dummy spit was a thing of beauty!

Clueless

Said it on another topic and got some grief for it, but today's win makes you laugh at the celebrations of Hull KR who apparently won the league two weeks ago.

When will the smaller sides learn? When it comes to league games, enjoy your wins. Just don't make out like they really matter.

Our friends on RedVee are having a mini meltdown too. One reeaaaalllly long post about how we get preferential refereeing. You'd think the grubby attack on Field whilst on the floor, the head high on Ellis, Minchella's wonderful play acting as though hed been shot when he'd barely been touched etc never happened! Let's all get up in arms about a forward pass not being given instead, eventhough the offside was the correct decision and supercedes it anyway!

Prez is the best poster on there It was all Kendall no mention of the 31 missed tackles by KR in the first half. Superb
