Quote ="Snake Plisskin"besides the winning try being scored whilst we were a man down. besides that winner coming down the sin binned players undermanned wing, and besides the sin binning coming when we were getting on top? If we discount all of that then yes, it didn't change the result. I understand he made terrible decisions both ways but none of the ones against you were clear game changers. Itsnot the first time recently that refereeing absurdity or outright incompetence has either definately or quite possibly cost us a win. Its rather ">tiresome.'" There is no need to moan you have nothing to play for anyway finishing bottom now means nothing and it does not.come as a surprise your spoiling tactiks at the play the ball was a joke and changed the whole game as we were not allowed to play

Quote ="Shifty Cat"Yep the spoiling tactics employed today by Widnes should have been nipped in the bud early doors but Childs did nothing about them and they got well out of ">hand.'" In the 1st half of the season we were often dominated in the ruck due to getting off the tackled player too quickly. Wigan have been the masters of slowing the PTB for years but when Widnes do it they are just spoiling tactics. It's about time Widnes got a bit of credit for the way we have now adapted to Superleague and a competitive team. FWIW I actually thought the Dave Allen knock on early in The tackle count in the 2nd half was the game breaker. At that point Widnes were on top.

Widnes played a game of slowing Wakey down at the play the ball and scored first 2 tries from forward passes. Todays game wouldn't have mattered as much if Alibert could count properly and we would have beaten Warrington (they scored on 7th tackle). Widnes are not the only team to feel they have had decisions go against them. When Mathers complained about the ipitch he was told he had to man up. Perhaps the same applies to Widnes today.

Quote ="SFW"It was one of the worst games in terms of playing and refereeing performance that I can remember for a long time. Truly depressing to think that one of Wakefield or Bradford will be competing in the playoffs two weeks after producing displays like those seen this week in what were important games for ">them.'" Go away and be truly depressed in your own room then you little ray of sunshine. Ive followed wakey to the last 6 games in which the team has won all. I didn't see it coming but the team have busted their balls every week to beat top 6 teams, grind out and close out hard fought victories and put on display some quality rugby league. I'll admit that the Widnes game was low quality and wakey have not played that bad for a long time. But the effort and grit was their from every player and a wins all that mattered. Like any top 4 teams never have an off game here and there. Maybe you should shelve your stereotype of the smaller clubs and actually go and watch/ buy some Wakefield games so you can base your snide comments on more than 1 game. Wakey may not be a glamour club but the amount of effort on many levels on and off field has culminated in us having a good shot at playoff rugby. That should be applauded not frowned upon.

Quote ="Him"Yes it does, im watching it on replay now and the arm quite clearly hits the Wakey players shoulder and carries on to hit his head then up and over his head. I'd agree the binning was daft, still doesn't mean it's not a high ">tackle.'" Well if stayed on we may have got at least a draw.Child is a e ref.Lee Smith should have been binned if Flynn was to be honest.Player ducked and was not a purpose high tackle.I thought was a bad decision.

Widnes also not played to their best either, as we lost ball too much.Widnes need credit for the effort, and missing several forwards at prop has not helped.
