[quote="WIZEB":3t2pbpmd]What a pathetic yellow card from Moore. Kicked the ball away? He kicked it forward about a yard ffs. [/quote:3t2pbpmd] Technically it was the right decision in that the ball went dead and the restart was delayed. Should have known better given his experiecne, though do feel he was impleaded before that and Wigan should have had a penalty

Niu is a handful. Oh for us to have recruited an outside back like him.

Wigan aren't very creative are they, we might be able to rest a few next week

Noticed for most of the match how the ref has let the game flow ..... Hardly any penalties......You watch tomorrow....

[quote="WIZEB":o57exbvh]Niu is a handful. Oh for us to have recruited an outside back like him.[/quote:o57exbvh] I think he looks a bit too big. Reminds me of Fonua when he came back k

Now in true RL fashion having whipped the audience up the timer isn't working

Gaz O'brien. I'd always buy him a pint if he walked in my local.

great game to start the season off, too teams who will be up at the top end no doubt, a referee who was happy to let things go, others need to take note and keep the consistency for each game!

Wigan won't have it so easy next week. I fully expect us to defend better than leigh did tonight

[quote="Jake the Peg":3bvnffyi]Have you forgotten about Chamberlain and hardaker?[/quote:3bvnffyi] I've tried to.

[quote="UllFC":w2ela4mj]It's better weather than a lot of round1s in fairness, season is starting a couple of weeks later than it has in other years. Hopefully Leigh keep wearing them out a bit for next week.[/quote:w2ela4mj] We started the same week last season v Rovers (15th Feb) and the weather was the same as now. The season opener before at Wakefield was a bit colder mind.

I'll admit to getting a bit nostalgic this morning. Was listening to Vossy during the Canberra v Cronulla pre-season challenge talking about the upcoming season opener and how Allegiant Stadium in Vegas was possibly one of the best in the world,........then I thought back of everybody lined up, ing at the back of Threepenny early 80's ,full of beer...... How the world has moved on........

WTF has happened with Salford Disgrace to the Integrity of the Competition and IMG

[quote="Tarquin Fuego":w0vus29g]WTF has happened with Salford Disgrace to the Integrity of the Competition and IMG[/quote:w0vus29g] As part of the ‘special measures’ for taking the funding advance they can only register 1.2 million pounds worth of player on the salary cap until the takeover if fully ratified by the RFL. The owners at Salford claim assurances have been made, debts paid off and all paperwork has been submitted for this to be complete. You can kind of understand them being annoyed if it’s the RFL now dragging its heels, but these things just have to take time from a legal point of view, it’s not the RFL who left it 2 weeks before the season to buy the club. The new owners obviously have decided not to risk injury of players etc if they won’t let them field their best side. I just don’t understand it though as the 1.2 million side they played last week was decent. Brierley, Cross, Marsters, Macdonald, Nikorima and some first team forwards. It could have made a decent fist of a game on BBC. It looks to me like Salford are being awkward to ‘prove a point’ not sure what it achieves though really.

Except to potentially show our game in a poor light to a potentially wider audience on the BBC

Wonderful game last night, Wigan and Leigh in an almost perfect defensive masterclass, really enjoyed this, a referee at last who allowed the teams to play, a shame about the glitch with the clock in golden point. Hope mr Kendall our regular ref for some reason, can emulate last nights official, and both teams can play the game without the usual melee, and perpetual interference. Well played both teams last night, and good luck in France boys watching from the sofa.

[quote="The Dentist Wilf":icq89s4d]Except to potentially show our game in a poor light to a potentially wider audience on the BBC[/quote:icq89s4d] They’ll say it was justified as you’d think the RFL will now fast track it or whatever to avoid the same embarrassment for the Leeds game but still the wrong way to go about it IMO.

[quote="odd shaped balls":ndabcuxn]You can’t watch it from the sofa….according to some on here your not a fan.People have reasons for not going but get slagged off on here.[/quote:ndabcuxn] When you enter the forum arena, you must be prepared for criticism, rightly or wrongly, if you can’t accept this, then possibly don’t participate.

In a way I think it may be good for us that kendal is reffing (other than he hates us ) as catalans are the 2nd worst team (dobbins worst obviously) for cheating, lying on, rolling around feigning injury, waving their arms about appealing for penalties and just general shiithousery. Hopefully he clamps down on it when they start

[quote="odd shaped balls":6bszj1hu]You can’t watch it from the sofa….according to some on here your not a fan.People have reasons for not going but get slagged off on here.[/quote:6bszj1hu] Unless you live in france, there's a bit of a difference in watching a game in catalans on TV and a home game. People have their own lives and can do what they want with their money but they should also be open to a bit of grief if they don't actually put their money into the club like the rest of us yet come on here complaining
