attact? You either meant attack or attract - I hope it was attack!

The way he performed on Sunday it is attack. Mind you, attract wouldn't be too far behind either.

Refereeing yesterday and video refereeing the week after.

Thank you Stuart Cummings (who coincidentally is from Widnes).

Let's just hope a video ref decision isn't the difference between us winning or losing.

You've just reminded me of something there talking of fan clubs. Wasn't there an incident at Huddersfield last year were either Ronnie Laughton or Ian Smith (can't remember which one) were dropped for a game because they were seen in a Huddersfield fan club.

Agh I can't believe it! He is a Wigan hater and attention grabber, it was the Steve Ganson show on Sunday afternoon plus he missed loads of high tackles etc that Widnes were coming in with, and attempted ball steals.

On the plus side I think Ashley is very fair and eagle-eyed so hopefully won't need trout face :devi:

According to letters in yesterdays league express Klowns performance at the Cas Bradford game on Friday was woefull and inconsistant.I allso seem to remember Cummings saying at the start of the season that now that fulltime refs would be doinng the video refing were they were from did not countlike it would if they wereon the pitch

Sorry, I can't totally agree with that. He let as much go for Wigan as it did for Widnes, we would have had a few problems if he and his flag-wavers could recognise forward passes because we got away with a lot of those, and some high shots as well. For once I don't think he was too bad, except for being too fussy around the scrums.

It seems Cummings is determined to make a point re video referees. Personally, I think it is simply something that could and should be avoided.

Hard to say but it appears with FT referees that we get the same referees more often. Just an impression, not looked at it properly.
