Re: Referee for Friday

He was ineffectual, inadequate and poor for both sides. The tragedy is that we will get him for either the semi or the final as he is the current RFL favourite son. Too many irrational decisions to count but typical was the last action of the first half. O'Neill is tackled as the hooter sounds - he ...

Re: Player of the Year Award 2023

Apologies Josie. Thought that's how other posters were voting so I followed.

Hope you are out and about soon.

No one has really had a poor season but for me it has to be Abbas Miski

Re: Disciplinary | Match Review Panel

Oh right! It was so inconclusive that everyone watching on TV saw it in real time and in slow-mo. Also, the player next to the 'tackle' saw it and alerted the ref.
Fit for purpose? Having a laugh I think.

Re: Chris Kendall

I wondered about the double movement at the time but assumed they were thinking about momentum. Saints' first try had an outrageous forward pass from Welsby but I'm nor sure I've seen a match recently with so much spite and malice. I'm guessing it was the cup semi-final that generated it but it was ...

Re: Tonight's Match/Wigan squad for Salford

A thoroughly professional performance - maybe the most professional of the season. Plaudits to French for not making a meal of that 'challenge' and don't think the refereeing was any worse than most other nights. Agree about sorting out the legs over the horizontal problem. As it stands, Kendall had...

Re: Tonight's Game/Wigan squad for Catalans

You kind of give up.
Sam T (who I like a whole lot) gets a £250 fine! and Kaide Ellies gets a 1- match ban for something that I can't even recall..

It's just a farce.

Re: Tonight's Game/Wigan squad for Catalans

Startlingly good performance, particularly after last week. Best I've seen French in the halves and maybe Byrne should get a busted nose every week if he is going to play like that. Hard to argue with French as MOM but Miski's performance in defence and attack swung it for me. Thought he was outstan...

Cue Dusty & The Pet Shop Boys - "What have we - What have we - What have we done to deserve this?!

Re: Tonight's Match - Wigan squad for Hull FC

On the question of defence - Field (allowing for the odd mistake which all FB's make) is much more use at FB than he is defending in the halves. Defensively, French, now that he's much stronger this season is a very useful defender on the wing and OK at FB. Neither seems to play to their full potent...
