18-6 up, wind at our backs, Wakefield with a man in the bin. 35 minutes in and Rovers have managed to do 1 good thing - Dobson's 40-20. Webster then shouts abuse at the ref on the first tackle from the scrum.
Oh well, only Leeds next week.

Fair play to The Wildcats, totally outplayed and outenthused Rovers in the second half. Too many basic errors for Rovers who looked totally flat after the two try burst that turned the game.

The first half was good as well. I think that we went into conservative mode with the lead and as the rain came down and then couldn't change to pose a threat.
Still it happens - we need to react the way Wakefield did.
As an aside Childs, the ref, was top notch and only 26 years old.

yeah its nice to see a ref actually have a good game... lets hope he sticks to his guns and doesnt go the way the rest of them have!

I'm biased and so are you but it wasn't conclusive either way and the simple rule is benefit of doubt to the attacking team. Let's be honest yo have had at least one this year

Tough call. My first impression was no try. Never saw a definite try with it, but that final zoomed in shot looked like it might have just been on. Evened up the try against Cas, I suppose, the other week.
