I’ve watched it again and it is nothing more than a penalty to me.

penalty sufficient

Yeh, it was a bit of a swing but no real impact - lets hope the beak sees it that way.
Thats the only niggle from today, the loss of go-forward when Ellis/Dupree were spelled in the first half and we will be playing a much tougher pack next week.

All sounds more positive than I saw it in the ground. It would be a huge boost to have him available. If he is and Havard isn’t available, I’d be tempted to bring Nsemba in for Hill as the only change. I think Hill will be a top player but he doesn’t look quite as ready made as Nsemba. I thought he got left on the ground a few times today when defending. Nsemba is a physical freak and there is no chance he would be dominated.

Agree on Nsemba, very unlucky to miss out today. Do we think that Isa had the expected impact?

I thought Isa was excellent. Blokes a loon! Ran and tackled like a man possessed when he was on the field.

Re: HKR (h) semi-final : Sat Oct 07, 2023 8:45 pm  

I don't think Isa was anything worse, or better than the rest of the guys. Everyone did their job and I'm 100% sure that part of Isa's job was to rally them in the week.

Prior to HKR’s first try Wigan should have been given a penalty, nearly all the side were offside from Schneider’s kick. Thoughts please?

We were fantastic. The final will be a great occasion against Tomkins and Micky Mac. Surreal but very fitting.

Only downer from today was a brain fade from Dupree towards the end. A swinging arm that could cost him his place next week.

I think he’ll get away with it. I’m pretty sure he missed. Had he connected he would probably be in trouble.

Thoughts are that I’m thankful I’m not on my own! I went crackers in the ground and could not believe nobody blinked an eye around me. I don’t think a single HKR player was onside!! An absolute stinker.
