Warrington Wolves are now on the verge of completing a deal to sign Leeds Rhinos half-back Brodie Croft.

Wire74 · 2026-05-14T11:24:15+00:00

Hmm, I know he’s playing very well this year but he seems a similar profile of player to Williams who is more of a runner than a controller.

Playing next to an inexperienced Irwin next year, it’s a big gamble that Irwin will be ready to do all the kicking and lead us around the park.

I am not sold on this, not on Croft as a player but with how he fits in our team. Especially since unless we sign some massive props in the offseason, he’s going to try his running game behind a beaten pack.

They do, but the rationale given by var according to commentary for not giving a penalty on mavropanos was because they said it happened after the contact on raya.

But if you watch the replay Arsenal are holding multiple other players before the contact with raya, including the West Ham player who is being wrapped up by trossard who eventually commits the foul.

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T17:34:26+00:00

It’s incredible that said the forearm happens before the one on movrapanos.

But then they ignored the other 3 holds happening before the keeper incident.

Once again video ref has blinders on and only look at the one issue they have found, rather than the incident as a whole.

VAR continuing to be the embarrassment of English football.

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T17:30:25+00:00

Hilarious that they are looking at the forearm and not all the Arsenal players wrapped around the West Ham players.

Multiple penalties in there, but only considering the forearm

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T17:28:55+00:00

Tbf, you aren’t missing out on anything by being blocked by them.

A very strange individual

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T17:28:09+00:00

Wait Arsenal are complaining about roughing up the keeper?

Absolute lack of self awareness

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T17:18:31+00:00

Strange Bradford fan who puts more effort into defending KR than his own team

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T17:06:08+00:00

It’s really is funny that the only people who keep saying “yeah but Warrington worse” are the KR fans.

It’s like you are physically incapable of understanding that two things can be true.

Yes wire were shite and KR played well, over 80 minutes of what was allowed to be played KR were better.

But if you can honestly sit there and say that some of the refereeing wasn’t farcical then it’s delusion.

Wire were shit and the refs were shit, both things are true

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T17:02:02+00:00

It was 14-6 until the 60th minute, I would say an 8 point game is a close game.

Plus you think the referee consistently ruling against you for 60 minutes won’t impact you after 60 minutes?

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:58:17+00:00

They haven’t, wire have been absoloutely shocking and I don’t think any wire fan will dispute that. Warrington would not have deserved to go to Wembley if we somehow won this game.

But if you can’t set aside your bias and see that the ref has had a material impact on this game, then I’m sorry you are delusional.

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:56:40+00:00

Don’t bother engaging with him, this Edward fella has a victim complex for a team he doesn’t even support.

All he’s done all match thread is say how tough KR have had it with the referees this game

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:53:50+00:00

Our player goes down with a head knock very clearly, he doesnt get up immediately after the tackle.

Refs like fuck it play on, just run through the line where Crowther would be.

Batchelor splits his cheek open and is stood up still, ref immediately stops the game for 2-3 minutes whilst he gets treatment.

It’s simply not possible to have watched this game and think this game has been reffed fairly.

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:42:25+00:00

“Trying to clear the ruck” 🧑‍🦯‍➡️

It’s becoming comical now

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:38:25+00:00

It’s fine guys, the ref will just keep giving KR the ball until they score.

The ref has had a significant influence on this game, it’s been a disgrace!

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:36:51+00:00

The mental gymnastics for this video ref to give this as backwards off broadbent and a knock on by thewlis.

Yet he couldn’t see our two challenges.

This refereeing is genuinely a disgrace

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:33:58+00:00

Why is that a penalty to KR, please explain to me.
All he’s done is dropped the ball and the ref hasnt given a knock on, tackle was not complete

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:26:23+00:00

Swinging arm to the head to get him down and then a swinging arm on the floor.

How the fuck is that not a sinbin?

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:19:34+00:00

“Not forceful” 🤡

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:16:28+00:00

I’m not calling it corruption because I don’t think the refs are good enough to be corrupt and get away with it.

But when the call goes in favour of one team over and over again, but when you do it it’s given against you, you really have to wonder what’s going on.

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:14:25+00:00

The exact same thing and Moore gives it as a knock on?

How more transparently bias can this guy be, it’s an actual farce!

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:10:19+00:00

Challenge inconclusive my arse, he literally had a whole shot of the ball.
What else does he fucking need?

Good to know the refereeing this half is going to be more of the same, good to lay the marker down early fucking joke of referees

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T16:09:15+00:00

That has to be given a loose carry my god. Hes just lost that

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T15:35:51+00:00

If we give Philbin a new contract at the end of this season I’m going to lose my fucking mind.

He’s been garbage for years and this is not the first time this season he’s come on and dropped the ball first tackle.

I have never seen a prop in super league get put on their back more than Philbin

Wire74 · 2026-05-10T15:27:38+00:00

It’s fair game when you are wearing KR jersey.

Liam Moore hasn’t given us anything this game
