Well we are into the semi finals which perhaps luckily isn't until May, so we have time to improve. And we will need to see a massive improvement if we are going to make the final. More worrying that we face Wakefield in just under 2 weeks time in the league.. I fear that could be a tough old evening on current form.

Anyone seen Mick’s comments re the ref failing to stop play when McGowan went down injured?

The response form the RFL is that Mikalauskas wasn’t miked up to the touch judges as “they’ve changed suppliers”. That alone is a poor response to what was a player welfare issue.

However, I thought both touch judges came on and he waved play on before Lee Greenwood managed to get him to stop it.

He should be ssuspended from refereeing for that.

Swinton appear to be extremely salty about some of the calls from yesterdays game. They've posted a passive-aggressive tweet highlighting all of the incidents that were missed by the officials.

We were terrible yesterday..
Squeezing past Keighley then Swinton is a sad indicator of where the club currently is..
We have actually got worse since Wood took over from Chalmers.
Don't forget we actually beat Leeds in the CC.
And had the base of a future SL team, Mini now been KR captain.
All it would have taken was swapping JK for a better coach.

What you on about?
We finished 3rd last season and got to a semi final
We are now in a Semi Final of a cup.
Chalmers took us out of Odsal didn't pay players pensions and nearly messed up getting out of League 1.

Decent enough result yesterday we made slightly heavy weather of it, too many pens given away ( some of which were down to refs interpretation) but got the result in the end.
It wasn’t utterly convincing but you have to remember we had Souter, Doro, Baldwinson, Blackmore, and Holmes missing from the line up, 2 new faces that won’t have trained much 2 HiA’s during the game, so no little disruption.
Wakefield next up but they hardly annihilated Barrow at home.

I really find that classless from Swinton.
1st try, you can't even see the ball so not sure how you can portray it as the ref got it wrong.

On the Davies shot, any club trying to get another player banned via trial by social media is scraping the barrel. Race to the bottom if we start doing that as a sport.

Didn't see anything wrong with the second Roby try and can understand the frustration. But Swinton were losing from the fifth minute until the end of the game. The ref wasn't why they lost. But they've got the reaction they wanted from the brain dead on twitter "Swinton were robbed" etc

The fact a clubs taken time and effort to create a video of refereeing decisions they feel went against them is poor and the RFL should come down hard on that.

I can't find the tweet, have they shivered?
