40-0 and 29 minutes left...

I remember seeing the score at that point.

Somewhat boggled by the fact that the score stayed that way to the end.

Impressed by the scoreline. Looking forward to watching the highlights.

Haven't heard Ryan Hall speak before. He comes across really well. Very interesting to listen to.

A very intelligent guy.

Unable to watch or listen tonight. From the score, it reads like a comprehensive and deserved victory for Hull KR.

HKR were playing at top speed all game, and Wigan were struggling to contain them. Wigan made a fair few breaks in the second half, but the Robins were as quick to act in defence as they were in attack.

Impressive and entertaining from the home side. Wigan were put on the back foot and always struggled to recover.

Farrell has had a reyt stinker tonight

They were speculating at half time that he may have had an early knock to the head that wasn't spotted. He would normally run onto an inside pass from Marshall in his sleep.

Miski finally gets Wigan on the scoreboard. They've looked a bit more incisive overall so far in the second half.

Ethan Havard's first time on the pitch since the Grand Final. Glad he's back in action.

Wigan can't play any worse 2nd half surely 

16 missed tackles in 35 minutes is half time hairdryer standard.

[Fri 26th Apr: SL: Hull KR v Wigan Warriors KO 20:00 (Sky)]

Gildart scores against his alma mater.

Far too much confidence in an easy Wigan win from the studio pundits. I look forward to half time, when they confidently explain to us why the opposite was always going to happen.

    The fact that Connor and Clarke can have a chat and smile together after niggling each other most of the game is why i love rugby league.

They know each other far too well to pretend that they are outraged.

[Why I ditched Sky]

On another thread I was asked why I am no longer prepared to pay for Sky. Rather than taking that thread off topic, I have started another.

When I watch a game, I want to see the match continuously, and in full, but this is not possible when watching Sky. I doubt if Sky ever shows a full minute of live action.

Examples of what I mean. Every time possession of the ball goes to the other team, every time a penalty is awarded, live action stops being broadcast, and we get shown, what happened a few seconds ago.

A big tackle is made, we have to see a repeat (to satisfy certain commentators lust for brutality).

Showing crowd scenes or team coaches when live action is ongoing.

All this just spoils the experience of a live game for me. 

Would like to hear what others think on this subject.

Thanks.

These things don't happen "every time". They happen occasionally, by the direction of an experienced TV editor.

If you genuinely believe that what you posted is reality, please walk away from the game for the sake of your mental health.

It's all being undone by Sky's penny-pinching on HD replay cameras.

Makes for an even tenser finish for us neutrals, though.

Connor went on a mardy walkabout and St Helens took advantage.
