Wasn't just the bounce, it was a pass thrown to ground behind them all and Rovers just switched off... then he kicked through, the bounce could have gone anywhere, it went to hand..
Willie Peters not happy at all on the yellows... complaining about players staying down and faking it... he said " I wouldn't coach it'... Whitbread decision was disgraceful... Even Sky commentators are saying if a player stays down the off field analyst can look at it, if they play on he can't...
Thanks for all your comments fellas, really appreciated it. Wait for the full game to come on youtube now in a couple of days.
I enjoyed watching that. 2 sin bins cost KR the game without a doubt. It cost me a few quid with a losing bet but that's life. Will Hull FC Christmas season ticket appeal start early this year?
Well Rerver. The sin bins ultimately cost Rervers the match Wigan played the current rules to their advantage. Looks like the shield is going to Wigan and if I were a betting man I would fancy them for the grand final.
Wasn't. a bridge too far at all.... all 4 tires scored against 12 men. ... WP was spitting feathers. He would have loved to have said 'cheat' but cheat they did... he said 'he wouldn't coach it'... its a mans game and some of them are pussies and coached to be.. like footballers..
There's still two games to go fellas, anything can happen yet, although Rovers have the hardest games left.
Willie really wanted to say it didn't he and even their coach nearly slipped up and admitted it. Two to go mate.
I watched the game and as Jon Wilkin said; if a player is down that long, after a supposed high shot, then surely he has to go off for a HIA? If play acting comes into RL, and judging by last night it most certainly is, then the game’s in big trouble. I think Rovers were robbed, in fact I don’t think they were. I know they were.
I haven't seen the game yet, my nerves wouldn't let me. But from what i've read on here and other places we were definitely robbed. That's the big mystery about last night how he didn't go for a HIA check, I thought it was mandatory. As i've said above there's two games to go so anything can happen yet and the way Rovers are playing, I wouldn't rule them out yet.
White as the driven snow RL players, though I'm not sure John Hopoate was coached by any football coach. It's rough, it's tough, it's up the chuff. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
The first sin bin was justified. Simply laying on the player too long to prevent a quick play of the ball after a decent break. The second was extremely harsh. The referee saw nothing to penalise and it would have been play on if the Wigan player had not milked the head knock. Even the contact with the head was minimal with no obvious intent.
the first sin bin was harsh because there was no one anywhere near for him to pass the ball to anyway so he didn't stop a quick play at all - doesn't help appointing a ref that was born in Wigan
It was clear they were tryin You are probably biased and support Rervers. I watched the game as a neutral and thought the first sin bin was justified but not the second. If the roles were reversed and a Wigan player was holding down to delay a quick play you would be crying out for a yellow. Having said that I respect your thoughts.
And Jon Wilkin should know better. The player needs to show signs of concussion for an HIA to be implemented. Tyler is perfectly within his rights to take a minute to get himself right without being diagnosed with concussion. Hull KR should be more worried about their D positioning for 2 of the 4 tries and why they failed to control the ruck at the crucial times. They've done it all year and last night met their match against the best team in the comp. No disgrace, they've done well and will be top 3 which is a good year.
That's true Rovers played a quarter of the match with 12 men, if they had 13 on all of the game I think they would have won the game comfortably.
Lying motionless, or pretty much, on the ground would indicate a possible concussion to me but what do I know.
