Mr Stokes

Feared the worst at 18 -12 after getting skinned down our right hand side but,

that was a fantastic win, absolutely brilliant and once again we can wear the Red, White and Blue with pride.

Top effort and great team spirit !!!!



(the only downside is the obstruction rule which is killing the game)

Well strictly speaking Wren, it only seems to be killing "our" game, not Wigan's. They seem to love it.

That's the reason, as a supporter of a club that struggles year in year out, that you continue to turn up and watch because that performance feels like it's worth the 200 quid alone. Will have a smile for a week. Fantastic team performance and can't say a bad word about any player. That is the attitude, endeavor and commitment we should be playing with week in and week out.





I wonder if people like Vastman will continue to downplay Tim Smith's contribution to this team over the past 2 years?

Spot on again, it was only applied to one side today. Along with punching and stepping off the mark , being a top side has plenty of benefits in the eyes of refs like Stokes.

The ref was an absolute disgrace. How we got pinged for obstruction where as Wigan got away with them at well. Gelling punched 3 players and got a pen, Marty Smith throwing sneaky uppercuts.



What a performance from the boys though, they looked fired up and played great. Mathers outstanding and I still think Tim Smith is one of the best scrum halves around.

After that tackle on taulima , what does it take to get sent off?? Then Wigan punch someone and get the penalty, we're they playing a different game???

The worst one today was the simplest.

We ran in to our own player, even though we stopped and the tackle was complete we conceded a penalty which rescued them and brought them up field.

Opposite end, right in front of ref same thing happened. Ref lets it go. They score.

Kirmond and Mathers were on the edge of a stroke they were so upset.



On that note though. Kirmond for once fired them up when he was so upset. Seemed to work.

Good win guys, never an easy place to come too... Good luck for the rest of the season....

WOW, WOW, WOW. What a performance from all the boys today. A massive pat on the back. No help from the referee and against a Wigan team that seemed to be playing to different rules.

Very nice of you to say WP..



I'd say both teams got something today. We desperately need points and got some. You needed to blood some future stars and rest some guys. You got that without really impacting your playoff position.

Wins all round.
