It needs sorting quickly and we desperately need 2 refs on the field. The game is just too quick and there is too much going on for 1 man to control it effectively.
I'm as disappointed about the officials missing the dan marino style pass from gelling for wigan's 3rd try as I am about the watts sending off.
Fact is had sneyd not handed gelling a try on a plate and the officials seen that forward pass, we'd probably have won with 12 men anyway, despite starting the game without 4 key players (plus michaels)
Nothing for us to fear in SL if we can get a half decent side on the pitch and keep all 13 of them out there for 80 minutes
I agree with it all. I think we can win 4 games and win the competition. I think wakey will be very nervy next week whereas we seem to pull out our best in knock out football.
