I finished up on car park 3 and turned right out of the car park, got away pretty quickly. Avoided the road works on the M1 by heading towards Wakefield and enjoyed a pint in the sun at a lovely country pub.
Finally played up to our potential and our star pack all played like it and the back were purring.
Smith well worthy of man of the match but Thomson absolutely immense too.
Ellis back to form today.
Great to see us finally flex our muscles.
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

I do think a few calls went against KR and they are a good side but my god they don’t half b*tch from the fans to the players to the coach, Its pathetic and they ain’t winning anything if that’s what they focus on. Hats off to Hall who in the HT was honest and humble.

That could be right and personally I would have preferred Tom Johnstone. When we sign Ryan Hall and bring in Matty Russell you know we are scraping the barrel. It was more how he didn`t want to blame the ref for how KR were playing even though Tanya Arnold was trying to say that was the issue.
The big issue here is the commentary team, they have a very important role to play as they can massively influence opinion. Fans and lazy journalists follow that agenda (the only logical conclusion is it was an agenda) resulting in this faux outrage which takes away from the fantastic performance from Wigan.
I’m sure after a long career playing Wilkin must know the rules of the game. Yes, it was a forward pass but it doesn’t take too many brain cells to work out they were offside first, he even acknowledged they were clearly offside yet still continued to whinge about it.
We see the ‘shepherds’ every week. Every team does it, they are rarely given unless it is outrageously obvious. This is consistent with what we see see week in week out and will only change with a shift in the interpretation of the rules.
The worst one from the commentary was the decision to completely ignore the clear red card offence by Hiku. Davies got very excited about the possibility of Thompson walking after the most innocuous late tackle that shouldn’t of even been a penalty and the chances of a Wigan player walking after Opacic had a cheap shot on Keighran, incidentally Keighran’s yellow was a joke.
