Did you fall asleep for a few years when we had Dion etc?
You're spot on about reffing they pick thungs up they're not generally wrong but it is subjective and sometimes it's almost impossible to see why they gave something. Quite a few times in any given game there are a few decsions that seem too picky for words.
I've said lots of times that it's not a club's discipline but what refs pick out, given that SL is a sport that in terms of the rules tends to favour those with the ball probably a little too often. This makes sides with superior and bigger squads that much harder to beat.
In their comments last night the pundits referred to Salford's discipline record but also made the point that none of it was based on maliciousness or cheating. And I think that was one of the most insightful point I've ever heard a pundit say. We have a record that's based on decisions made and alot of times at the same event and time the other side could have been penalised just as easily. I don't see refs as bent though I think the rules are slightly. The things that pleases me most is SRD as a team have learned to cope with the game's bias and still compete. I don't think refs will improve and because of our outlook we don't need them to.
No Russ I was awake when we had the great team of the Snape era That team would in my humble opinion would of won by 30 Points last night. But a trophy with this squad will surpass what they achieved That's what I ment as you well know The Snape era team was quite capable of giving away a game they should've won and did so on plenty of occasions. They were brilliant to support but let's not put somewhere they don't belong.
I agree with you about the trophy though.

I see what BDD is saying on specific points like Atkin not kicking on the last and the tackle that forced the drop out. For me the biggest error was not taking two points, we had two opportunities to do this. Keep the scoreboard ticking. Anyhow I cannot fault commitment or effort, we just played dumb the last 8 minutes. Just need to learn from it and move on, I'm confident this team will pickup wins with the games we have coming up. Also Norfoalumo and Ryan need minutes.

Russ what are on about every team can loose a game that they probably should win and let's be honest Wigan have had far better teams than the one on offer last night in fact Hanley's team would have wiped the floor with it. |

Surely it doesn't matter about specific points every games is different what Sneyd did last night he might do it again and it might come off, yes you can say they should have done this or that and it still might not have of worked,you could have said Wigan should have done this or that and we wouldn't have scored I think some on the forum think the game is played on a white board it's not it's played on grass. I remember a cup tie at Wheldon Road in 1971 if Billy Kirkbride had stuck his arm out another six inches and put the ball over the line we would have won,he didn't and we lost |

It is fascinating watching pundits not only side with decisions which go against SRD but accuse those involved of diving.
You've got to love pundits!
