Some terrible comments being made by a bitter poor loser on the pies forum about the pen at the end.

)



Quite a few of em have gone down (even further

) in my estimation...Some absolutely disgraceful comments on their board.

I was at the game and the sheer lack of knowlege displayed by some of the goon fans around me was amazing. They were all booing when they had a man down injured (Lulu I think) miles away from play, all demading the ref stop the game ... why? another bunch of em spent most of the game slagging off Sam Tomkins for 'following the play of the ball' ?? had me baffled.



I also think it's bad form the reaction they gave McGuire when he was going off on a stretcher, they may not have liked the decision or McGuire ( I can say I'm his biggest fan) but for me there is no need to abuse an seriously injured player like that.

wishing injuries on players - tut tut

You'll notice I said non serious niggles not ruptured knee ligaments. Anyways I'd have settled for 6 sent off with 3 game bans.

if it were Leeds they would appeal anyhow and the sending off would be deemed sufficient punishment

Now we're on to the next round, does anyone really think HKR can beat Wigan?



If they played with the determination they had against FC, I can almost see it, but surely that performance was enhanced by the derby factor, wasn't it?



Wigan must be favourites, but if the HKR pack can stand up to Wigan's then perhaps the superior tactical kicking of Murrell and Dobson can swing it.

Wigan are a spent force, They got to the top by early season fitness. Now all the teams still in this are just as fit, and Wigan are being shown up to be what they are - a decent top six team that are now getting tired. ANy of the teams still in can easily beat Wigan if they put their minds to it.

I hope HKR can manage it, they have the players to challenge Wigan but I can see the goons taking the win. We can only hope that even if they lose KR really stick it to Wigan and make em work really really hard for the win.

I've got two scenarios in my mind.



1.HKR bring their "A game" (as they put it) and frustrate wigan with a tough game and good kicking, edging them out by about 8 points in a low scoring affair.



2.Wigan blow them away in a backlash and stick 40 on them.

Don't think they have it in them in an intense game against a decent pack.



A motivated Hull KR will give Wigan a heck of a game I reckon.

The likes of Vella, Newton, Clinton and Galea give them some serious knarl up front to take on the pies, but they are a team that can let their flood gates open every so often.
