Fantastic game, Rovers looked like they were going to run away with it in the early stages but Wigan stormed back and were leading 30-16 by the hour. A couple of knock-on's from Rovers when attempting interceptions leading both to Wigan tries were the critical points of the game which could have gone either way in the last 10 minutes, but the Warriors held on for a deserved win.

Do you know what the penalty count was? Wigan seemed to concede loads.

At one point it was 8-3 in Rovers favour.

They should buy Halibut a round of drinks. With a decent ref they would have been tonked.

About 15-6 I think.

Or mabye Wigan should sort their dicipline out and concede less for offside and delaying the play the ball.

I didn't count that many offsides? AFAIC, Alibert ref'd the PTB different all game. He was prepared to let stuff go, then the next PTB he would blow up for a bit of holding down? Poor show imo.

Correct - he was very one-sided. The worst decision IMO was right at the end when Cooke threw the ball 4 yards forward and Wigan had to start the set on their own line. Justice prevailed though.

It was a stuttering performance but we're currently top-three and will certainly finish top-four come the end of the season.

A few players need to engage their brains more and then we wouldn't have lost.

Anyway, in a nutshell, FC could only dream about being in our position so what they are doing posting on this board shows they are a set of muppets.

you mean the one they all threw their dummies out when lee smith scored a try of a similar pass last season?

KR > Gateshull

play like you have the past month, you won't finish top 4!

Agree. But we won't.

That is far from certain.

Just a quick question.

Why does Morgan persist in playing Cooke when it's obvious the other players don't want him to be on the pitch .... even more baffling is the fact that other players ego's are effecting the clubs chances of success because Rovers look far more threatening on the rare occassion they pass Cooke the ball.

justin morgan wants to get your defence sorted out when defending your try line in your 20 meter area..it was poor.

So he can come home, log on to RLFans, and see how many losers like you spout e.

Next question.

I think that's an understatement, we were very poor, and we were so good earlier in the season too! Get that sorted and we can kick on again! At the moment it is a great concern. Wigan were just walking over early in the second half!

Or is poor ikkle Zoddy poos in a mood. Face facts if the players didn't ignore Cooke and go to Dobson and Galea all the time you'd have beaten Huddersfield and more than likely have won today.

Completely correct. Cooke got the ball quite a lot more than he has done at other times this season, and it showed with some great early tries, fantastic passing (most of the time) and us looking dangerous for the first and last 15 minutes.

How did you get on yesterday by the way?

Is that 14 tries conceded in your last 2 home games? I thought our defence was bad

There's no doubting that Wigan had discipline problems, particularly with laying on. However, Rovers were also guilty of many of the same offences and yet they went virtually unpunished.

Halibut is a gash referee - the worst in SL by some distance. It's just a matter of luck whether his errors favour you or destroy you. Yesterday you got lucky. In spades.

I think the scoreline favors KR more in the 2nd half. The conversion rate from Richards was abismal!

Was a cracking game to watch though, hats off to both teams.

It is:
