i've only just watched the game back on Warriors tv as was away in Egypt and absolutely no chance they were letting me put rugby on the big screen there when they were showing football from any country in the world every night , but got to listen on the app

i dont get why everyone was blowing smoke up KR's arses, Wigan made several breaks in the 1st half before they scored, and on a different night could easily have been 12-0 up. The ref was only watching one side with Wigan penalised for high shots / offside, whilst KR had nothing given against them which allowed them to build some territory, and score a soft try from dummy half and another one from lewis which needed a bit more creating

the sin bin was correct, if Burgess hadnt joined the tackle and Gildart had held on he would probably have gotten away with it unless he took it too far but again a Wigan break when they were at full strength

2nd half we smartened up a little (although still gave some silly penalties away early on) and looked like the only team who were going to score with again multiple breaks when they were at full strength

i've seen comments about how poor our spine was, well in reality what do we expect, Field only just back from injury and running about 80%, French 2 weeks back from injury, Smith from a 3 week ban, so its no surprise, so we've been playing with a makeshift spine for weeks, and been clunky for it. We are only likely to go one way from now on, as long as we get no more injuries or bans

Credit to Mago for his spell in the 2nd half as he got us playing quick and the try where he combined with Junior was just a lovely piece of classy rugby all round

the good thing is, if we can get rid of the stupid penalties and control the ball like we know we can, the no-one will live with us

Yes pieman that is 100% how I saw it, when John K R Wilkin said more or less that the first 20 minutes was spent in the Wigan 20 I wondered which game I had been watching.
As you said Wigan had several attacks from the get go, KR didn't have any, in fact they would have needed a guide to direct them into the Wigan half, it was only penalties that got them the cheap territory which they profited from, not their own skill. Anybody but Wigan springs to mind.

Just got back from holiday and just watched the match back I've never known such 1sided commentary on sky sport it was all Hull kR yes they are a good team but you wouldn't think we are the Champions.and we only won because we scored because of players in the Sin Bin Disgusting 1 sided Rubbish by Carney and Wilkin especially.On Friday I will watch it with sound turned off

Also, Carney, FFS, can't you stand still? Why does he feel the need to prance around like he's auditioning for Riverdance?

Wilkin annoys me more with his swaying side to side
