Don't know why we are bothering - according to the Sky muppets just before the game started (and during to be fair) we are playing a team of supermen who only had to walk out onto the pitch to win - we are not worthy of being on the same pitch (especially Tez but the commentator seems to have a bee in his bonnet abut Wigan as well).
That Ryan Hall try was dubious one - looked to me like he didn't have full control in the grounding much like the second effort.
We need to improve our discipline, complete our sets and get a better kicking game- pin them back and we have a chance. Their right side defense looks very weak.

That was never a penalty though, it was kicked which was fine, ref just penalised because it looked sloppy.
I have also said it a million times along with loads on here but Halls try and no try I didn’t think there was any difference, both a little dodgy but I’d have probably given both on the screen, maybe even the second one was more a try for me, why do they give the refs call so much weight? He obviously isn’t sure so is throwing it upstairs.
Is it still downward pressure needed? It could have gone either way and was dependant on what it went up as. He looked to place it on the line but could have easily lost it

He obviously dropped the second one, what did you see? First one was 50/50.
Not a bad first half. 55% completion is shocking though, if we improve that we will win.

In both situations it wasn’t clear and maybe 1 being awarded out of the 2 was fair but I just don’t like how much sway the on field decision has.
