Exactly, 3 players in the tackle, Miski positioned on his wing, but was 2 v 1 when the ball came out. He came in for Parcell i think, who passed the ball, not much Miski can do, unless he nailed Parcell as soon as SKD got the ball outjosie andrews wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 2:14 pmWhat??Suzieb wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 5:47 am When will the coaching staff wake up and realise french is not a stand off he is a winger and those that say Miski should not be dropped yesterday for hers levelling try three players had their arms around sky and he still offloaded while Miski stood watching out of position

Thats exactly what im saying ive never said anything different, ive said red cards do not decide matches and they absolutely dont! otherwise youd just call the game as soon as it happened. This season isnt a fluke of nature i would say its always been around 50% whether the team with 12 win or lose, thats why all the commentators say about weirdly when youre down a man it can actually improve the performance of the team as it gives them a siege mentality.Flash wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 1:48 pmRed cards do decide matches. They just haven't as much this season. You're taking a very limited sample size there mate. Do you think we would have won the Ben Flower final had he not be sent off for example?Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 11:08 amShall i tell you from this season?
In this season there have been 8 Red Cards i can find before this game
In those game which a red card was shown only 3 of those games were lost - and 2 of those 3 games the red came in the final minutes and the other was a wakefield vs wire game when wire were red hot and wakefield couldnt score a point
you know what happened in all the rest???? the red carded team won!
3 of these were in the first half that its noted - i dont have the detail of the others
1 of them was against us leeds went a man down in the first half trailing 14-8 won the game 40-18
so there you go a 62% success rate this season for teams that receive a red card
so i reiterate RED CARDS DONT DECIDE MATCHS!!
The fact is, it depends on the individual game. If the game isn't as intense (as has been the case in the matches this season) it matters less. When the game is intense, as in yesterday's case, it matters MASSIVELY!
We were gassed in that final period when KR got back into the game and ultimately won in Golden point. We were literally out in our feet.
If the extra player didn't matter, why, in the entire history of the game, has no coach ever started with 12 players? I'll tell you why. Because having a player less on the park would reduce your chances of winning. I'm surprised you're struggling with such a simple concept to be honest.
If you're saying that playing a man down doesn't necessarily mean you lose, then I would agree but it depends on the match. Yesterday was clearly a case where it did matter. Unless you think we would have been that gassed anyway in which case I would respectfully disagree.
I said that 10-15 years ago & you can see with the trials they’ve been doing with the academy all tackles below the shoulder & if not it’s a penalty! 50 - 60 a game!!Ipinwigan wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 7:13 amI totally agree, the lunatics have taken over the asylum.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2023 10:44 pm I’ve just watched the match back and if that is a sending off then rugby league is finished.
I have been saying for a couple of seasons that we are going to be playing tick rugby in 5 years
Wigan’s Joe Shorrocks has also been banned after his red card against Hull KR. The player was sent off for a high shot on Mikey Lewis less than a minute after entering Sunday’s semi-final and has been charged for a Grade C ‘high tackle.’ He will miss the game against Leigh this weekend.Flash wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 1:28 pmWhere have you seen this mate?
