You're right, Silverwood was shocking and to make matters worse he was inconsistent too. The amount of times they were offside, the most obvious when we were 3m from their line and they weren't behind the line. As for the use of the video ref, he checked on obviously good trys and ignored a couple of dubious Leeds ones. Did you notice he evened up the penalty count when we were down and out?warriors posted:
Silverwood should not ba a ref at all. I was their he aloud a try, when it was a knock on, for Leeds. An everytime we scored a try he asked the video ref. Even tho he new we had scored. An them two trys that he had disaloud for wigan. that was just stupid. the lines men was a richard as well. when we play any other team again, make sure that we dont have the same ref an lines men.
The Wigan players, what was wrong with you 2nite?? the defence an tacklein was so bad. I dont no what the heck is wrong with them. They really need the players back. The attack was ok, but they could of done better.
All the pens that they give away. Lately, they seem to be giveing the teams alot of them. Which is not like them. just hurry up an get the rest of the team back, then we will kick like we do.
Kevin Brown, i will give him the respect out of the young ones. He did play pritty good. Scored the first try.
There is two things about Robinson. Dont let him drop kick the ball. Coz he just gives it straight to the other team. An do let him take a conversation kick. It was way off. Just stick with Tickle an Orr, if we dont have Faz.
The linesman was a pillock too. There is no way that he did not spot that forward pass if we all saw it in the crowd and then on the screen. Perhaps need to allow video ref disallow tries for it. Plus if it was forward then couldn't the ref call it for offside?
I thought we played okay tonight considering all the injuries and the fact its mainly our key players missing. My main grumble though was our tackling and closing down play. There was no urgency to get to the player with the ball giving them time and space to run, gain momentum and break our line. This was our main downfall in my opinion. Plus we never seem to chase our kicks to their end. Although tonight there were nowt special.
I thought Brown was good tonight too, and Wild. Scully was a bit stupid with his tackling and was very lucky not to get binned. Also is it me or is he carrying a few extra pounds?
I'm not quite sure what happened to Robinsons kicking tonight or his attempted conversion. I think perhaps the weight on his shoulders is too great, especially with the big men missing.
Anyway, there's no changing the outcome now. I think there are positives they'll take from the game, but there are a LOT of improvements to make, most notably the defending. Now we need to look to Wakey in the cup, an important game and I can't wait for Cassidy to be back. Come on Wigan!!
