Team v HKR

[pearsy]

That's the first part down with the magic Mikey show god knows what sky would have done if he was playing.Now for Welsby

Sky's coverage is poor, I agree. But I thought Lewis (like Liam Marshall, in fact) did they best he could with it in the circumstances.

I thought Sam Walters was immense tonight. His work rate sometimes goes unnoticed. The boys were superb tonight, full of determination to win this game.

Walters is definitely one of our best forwards this season, playing prop gets him more involved in the middle of the field.
He's now showing the form that I expected last season.

He was definitely our best forward last night. 47 tackles with no misses and 116 yards made with the ball.

A bit strange with Byrne.Not gonna lie im not his biggest fan and he really didnt seem interested to me.He was delaying getting back onside and seemed to be standing were he wouldnt receive the ball for a hit up.I wondered if he was injured then noticed him sprinting up and down the sideline after he was substituted.Odd one but i really think we have better prop options surely

Byrne’s defence is first class hence the reason he has been selected as a starting prop, his go forward less so.

Thought it was a fabulous game.

Also thought we got out of jail with the 2nd Joe Burgess try. Video ref made the right decision but was there really enough evidence to overturn the on field decision?

Either way, great showing from our lads.

Yes. More than enough.

Fortunately the Video ref was on the ball last night.

I think it's fair to say, the 'ball tip touching the turf' try (Miski), if it had been given against Wigan, we'd all be fuming. Going up as no try was absolutely reasonable. And if you looked hard enough and long enough (as Rush did!), yeah, he just about got it down. But touch and go.

And after all, it was only the iciing on the cake anyway. The game was won by then.

[Wiganer Ted]

As has been said, Sam Walters had another very good game as is now firmly part of the match day 17.
After that display v HKR I think he'll be starting prop against Saints.

When he signed I thought it was a 2 year deal.
Perhaps we might hear about a new deal for him.

Why would you be fuming moto? You've just said it touched the ground and, to be honest, was clear as day on the view from the back.

Smith got 2 try decisions wrong and gave the benefit on both to KR. I believe we also lost the penalty count 5-2 including them getting a penalty for exactly the same offense that he excused as "nothing in it" when it was against Nsemba. That shows, to me at least, that Wigan aren't getting a fair crack. It's the same every week.
