Hi Kiwi. Got to disagree with you about the penalty against Charnley. I think that was where the match was lost since after two storming breaks from Tierney and Charnley the Leeds defence was all over the field and we should have had a try after the PTB but Charnley made a complete farce of trying to get up and play the ball as he desperately looked for a penalty and if he had simply concentrated on getting up fast and playing the ball fast we would have scored and Leeds would have collapsed sooner. I do repeat my grumble that Hicks is not fit to be even a linesman though.Kiwiseddon wrote:An average Wigan display felt 100% worse with that clown at the helm. Awful ref display. I can't even begin to list the things wrong with his performance. Head tackles (or not) and control around the ruck would be a start. The penalty against Charnley for an incorrect PTB was laughable.
Welcome to the reason we want matches on a Sunday afternoon Josie. The drive over past both Leeds and Manchester at rush hour is always a nightmare. If we leave at 5 we get to the DW at anytime between 7 and 8-30!josie andrews wrote:That's how it looked at the game tonight!
Tautai got a high shot right near the end I think, it was at the other end. When we saw him after the game he's lost a front tooth & had to have his mouth stitched!
Ryan Sutton nearly had his head took off but nothing was done 'play on' shouted Hicks.
Ryan Hall knocked on in a tackle, & knew he'd knocked on. He moreorless gave himself up but Hicks & touch judges just ignored it, Hall just laughed when the ref awarded a penalty!
They were slowing our play the ball down all the time, lying on & messing about, there some shocking offsides too from Leeds.
Showed how bad the officials were when our last try was a forward pass & he awarded it!!
Not watched back cos only got home at 1pm, all the bloody motorways were shut down. M60, M61 & the turn off for the East Lancs!
Going we set off at 4, we were sat for 30 minutes on the slip road waiting to get on to the M60 ????
Got there at 18.45! Followed the team bus thru Leeds, they set off at 2 but stopped off at services, they said. It was also raining hard from leaving Wigan & even had thick fog going over the moors. As soon as we got to Leeds it was clear!
It was the traffic Ian, think everybody in Leeds & district plus Wigan fans were trying to get Headingley & surrounding areas last night & the traffic was a nightmare from start to finish.ian.birchall wrote:Welcome to the reason we want matches on a Sunday afternoon Josie.

I am more concerned with the fact that you followed the team into Headingly. They must have been very near to being fined for not getting to the ground soon enough, presumably they weren't drinking heavily before the match so why the stop at Hartshead Moor? Get to the ground sooner and stretch the legs there.
