Cycling is pointless - this guy managed to travel about one foot from his starting position after all this palaver!

Some of you may want to get yourself an Irish pen-pal. Ireland Honors Sinéad O’Connor, Shane MacGowan, Christy Dignam, & Séamus Begley With Postage Stamps https://www.stereogum.com/2280289/ireland-honors-sinead-oconnor-shane-macgowan-christy-dignam-seamus-begley-with-postage-stamps/news/

A good contest where the scores were close for most of the game.

Handbags!

Cotter's try is - eventually - given. 20:16 with kick to come.

He's going to Super League because he's lost all his pace, apparently.

An oddly long break between matches, but enough time to catch up on Titans v Knights in the NRLW.

Papenhuyzen finishes proceedings off with a drop goal, just because he could.

That he was lucky to hold on to Wardle as long as he did?

The way he's clicked with Liam Marshall makes me regret they didn't link up earlier.

Wigan are still a work in progress. I expect next weekend to be the end of their 2024 campaign, but there are good signs.

Wardle gets it. Okay, he has had a good game.

Wondering if, with Walmsley becoming more of a bit-part player these days, St Helens might have a sniff at Oledski, because you're right that he looks stale for a 25-year-old.

Bevan French. Icing on the cake for the PotM.

If any team looks like they'd benefit from a longer off-season, it's Leeds. Get the new coach and his strategies settled in, integrate the promising youngsters more and start the 2025 season as fully prepped as possible.

I like the look of Alfie Edgehill, despite him spilling that last bomb. He's done well under huge pressure and I get a sort of Gary Broadbent vibe from him.

Huge pass from Smith, chip forward from French, and Miski arcs infield to make the conversion easier. Tyler Dupree off with a shouldular ouchie.

You can say that again. The TRL forum's "next page" glitch strikes again! I know I've been caught out by it often enough.

Bentley was rattled by French selling him a penalty, then rushed out to completely miss Ellis' run.

Kaide Ellis is off the nudie run!

Leeds have got over the early shock and look a bit better organised (despite that late try), but they need to show a lot more penetration in attack. It looks like they are just trying to contain Wigan and nothing else right now.

Wigan 14:0 Leeds at HT.

Wardle's offload is a thing of beauty, giving Liam Marshall his 150th Wigan try.

Wigan have had a lot of ball, but only ten points from it all.
