The only reason we'll lose over Easter is because Widnes and Barrow are alot better than us.

What happened to appointing refs that live nearer to the game. Or is this one of the 'discretionary' decisions which the RFL put into any statement regarding any rule. Noticed a statement re the Borders Agency and the RFL 'department that deal with approving players for visas. Stated that the rules were strict however there were some 'discretionary' measures that the RFL could (and will) apply in special circumstances.

In my mind the use of the word discretionary when used by the RFL means....we decide which clubs the rule will actually apply to. Makes you wonder which clubs actually vote these 'rules' in. Incidentally do the SL clubs votes still count as 3 compared to championship clubs 1 thus making RFL votes completely meaningless

Indeed, unlike us, both clubs have signed 'proven' quality players.

No problem in general with Laughton but Hewer I am not sure.

Ronnie tends to let the game go and generally does not dish out a lot of penalties. Thagt can be both a good and bad thing but the same for both teams.

Hewer is a little less consistent with his decision making which can lead to frustrations from both players and fans.

For what its worth I think we will get nothing at Widnes but scrape a home win against Barrow. The deciding factor in our home win will be the Chegwin factor

i dont know why we on this forum always blame refs cant you accept we just arnt big enough how many games this season have we camped out on the opposing teans line and not been able to score and our kicking game leaves alot to be desired short kick is the answer if we cant break the line how many times as the likes of briers put us costantly under pressure and we should stop giving away silly penalties away especially on the last tackle i could go on but i wont

Briers? err he plays for Warrington we aint played them, and there aint anyone in this league near enough as good at kicking as Briers. Plus we are only as bad as most in this league at giving away last tackle penalties, so please feel free to go on even if you are wrong (its ball in hand penalties we are worse at giving away)
