Sam Tomkins agrees it was a soft sending off he said "Red card madness"
If players are saying that, we need to act before the game does become tick rugby

No one is saying it wasn’t harsh - but you deal with it
Wigan could easily have won that game with 12 men - hull kr have key players out and were there for the taking with a bit of smarts
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
My initial reaction was Shorrocks first contact hit the ball and as little Lewis was going down towards the ground he recoiled from that contact. I thought he was slow playing the ball because the tackle shook him up,
only then did the dark arts creep in. For me, never a red card for all the reasons stated by others. The ref made a crap decision.
We were poor in the first half, we never look like scoring, how many times have we failed to turn pressure into points this season. Saying that, at half time I was confident we would win, I didn't rate them really and I thought we would gain momentum in the second half and win fairly comfortably.
I hate golden point as well it seems so unfair on the losers. I was also shocked at Smith kicking from so deep in his own half at the end, it gave them a good starting point. I think the second half we performed with a great effort against the odds but as usual very predictably.
I am now going to break my golden rule and criticise one of our players, Liam Byrne apologies but he just doesn't offer anything.

The red card decided that game.
I thought we dug in and gave it our all.
I think Peet gets a lot out of the players he has available to him. We have, I think, 2 marquee spots unused. We rely on developing players too much, which might or might not pay off in time. But if we invest in more quality we will be a very strong team indeed. If only we had a billionaire owner.

He is right. I have no doubt that I would be making Wembley arrangements now but for that ridiculous decision.
