Smith (ref) deserves some small credit for at least keeping the cards in his pocket so far, but he's certainly given us nothing.

The Ref isn't that bad, we are just not winning the forward battle and stopping their offloads.
Farrell is pushing his luck with lying on and stupid not square at the marker penalty from him.
French looks all at sea in defence.
They need a rocket up them from Matty at half time and they need to step it up in the second half, take control,or it's going to be another loss.

What was Smith trying to do there? What a bad decision that was
He’s so over rated it’s untrue.
Nothing to do with the 5 players on him before he could react?
He ran down the short side when nothing was on and decided not to kick.
His own choice.

Honestly I think he’s had a fair game Wigan are playing right into KRs niggling game and aren’t bright enough to spot this

Yes, it was awful. And he should know better by now. If it was Jack Farrimond, we'd say, ach, he's only young.

It seems that problems with our right-edge defence keep returning.
I thought Faz was out of position for the Hiku try.

Bit harsh Nathan. But I admit I don’t think he’s as good as everyone makes out. Still a decent player though

Pretty confident we have the measure of these men. Just need to stop giving penalties away and stupid errors. We look on in defence and look ok when spreading the ball.
Quietly confident that if we tidy up those two things, we win the game.

Yes, we do look dangerous in attack. But so do they!

That's a try, surely?
