Well played going down to 12 men certainly galvanised you didn't think we had a chance before the game with Lunt and McGuire out but after the sending off the game should have been there for the taking

I think the game as a whole needs to look the distinction between a deliberate attack to the head (which should be a red) and situations like we saw today. I am ok with a penalty for contact with the head, but did FARaimo early deserve to walk for that?
The touch judge was looking right at the incident, about 5 yards from it and he was not concerned. No need for VR intervention.
I also think they need to look at the obstruction rule which is becoming farcical. We benefited from it today but were victims of it at Leeds. It’s a weak penalty in what is supposed to be a physical game.

The officiating was awful for both teams , definite try for rovers, and absolutely not a red card . Making the game a bit of farce in my opinion some of the decisions and less appealing to watch in general

Officiating is going backwards at a rate of knots under fatty Ganson, just watch Hicks penalise for a loose carry with not a hand anywhere near the ball by a Wigan player, then a (non) contact to the head penalty which he gets all arsy about to Williams needlessly and then warns the Wigan captain for 4 penalties in 9 minutes when it was actually 15 minutes with 2 of those BS penalties anyway.
If we are penalising contact to the head so severely then there were plenty of hits in that second half against us for Kendall to have binned Rovers players twice at least. Looking at tackles in slow motion is ridiculous, it simply does not represent what actually happens in real time, I think Faraimo uses his arms to attempt a tackle, the head contact is very coincidental, it's certainly not late by any stretch.

Just got back what a phenomenal effort. Some outstanding individual performances but I thought Houghton was immense. Just shows how important he is to us.
Poor show from Rovers fans booing Albert after his head injury. On that did anyone see him react to a Rovers fan abusing him as he was helped off?

I've got to say that I had my head in my hands after they score their last try. We've been there so many times before but not today. Superb effort today. I'm stuck at work so had to be content with the radio but I'm keen to see what the video ref saw that the ref and touch judge didn't with the sending off. Also sould a video ref be involved for a sending off? it's supposed to be for try decisions. Just saying.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the (Dark) Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
