Yooooooooooof!!


Great match though - very entertaining. That's what RL Sky viewing should be like.

Mate Widnes also had 8 players missing.

From a neutrals point of view,a good competitive game,which could have gone either way but I suppose Wigan just about deserved to edge it.A number of good youngsters on show from both sides and a decent crowd to encourage O'Connor.Shame,I would have quite liked a narrow Widnes win.

A genuine question - Can anyone tell me why Childs didn't allow Advantage when Owens intercepted a Wigan forward pass on the 6th tackle near the Widnes line, with an open field ahead of him, instead of blowing for the forward pass and insisting on a Widnes PTB?

Because (unusually) the linesman was so quick off the mark to call the forward pass the ref blew immediately.

He was just as quick to disallow the Gelling try for a forward pass later in the game.

It's Sods Law again! They miss the many offsides and other forward passes - but pick up on the one they should have allowed the Advantage rule on....

One day, just maybe, we'll get the rub of the green off Childs.

Can i just ask, What the hell are you waffling on about?

What other offsides and forward passes. All from Wigan too i suppose? As far as i could see every decision was correct and although you don't like it, The forward pass on the 6th try was also correct.

An extreme case of sour grapes and envy.

Childs was fine, it was our own stupidness at times which cost us the game.

It was on the 7th tackle so he had to correct his mistake.

Not really we lost the game so end of.We are competing better now and all I want is effort from my team.
