To be fair I think it's an interpretation of a law. Not even sure it's properly explored in the laws of the game, but is an interpretation brought in to clear up issues regarding players claiming they'd ground the ball in goal if they subsequently make an error.

He's in the action of trying to knock the ball dead with his hands, not with his torso. He misses the ball completely when trying to ground it therefore he can't be deliberately trying to ground the ball with his torso at that point.

That looks like a try!

Too much reliance on Lewis and not enough threat from elsewhere on the field.

Did you like him as a comentator previously? He's the absolute worst of the 'he's on our payroll so we'll use him' BBC pundits. 0 insight for as long as I can remember.

100% that Burgess incident gets dealt with differently if it's a Super League game. Not sure whether I like that or not, but there was a forceful and dangerous aspect that was completely ignored with only the rapid loss of height considered.

So nobody should be investing because Barrow can't afford to match it? I can't understand what point you're trying to make. The women's game needs investment and Wigan are doing that.

The rise of this Wigan side has been unprecedented. Absolutely hammered a Saints team that have previously dominated the competition. A fantastic group of young players who have really come of age at the same time, some experienced players who have been around for a while and absolutely deserve this moment along with some excellent signings for this year have not just closed the gap but created one of their own. Dennis Betts also plays his part. The organisation of the attacking structure of Wigan is on another level.

Anna Davies with the cherry on top. Derybshire unlucky not to go all the way moments earlier. Izzy Rowe is a damn good goalkicker too!

A deserved try for Banks. She's had a really good game.

Bloody hell, good try from Eva Hunter. Strong line and some power to push past the first contact.

The Saints defence has improved massively in the second half and are thwarting some of Wigan's expansive moves. It's starting to test Wigan's ability to grind it out. The territory is mostly in Saints' favour at he moment.

Wigan didn't deal with Veivers going down and failed to organise the defensive line properly. Saints far too good not to take advantage. Good dummy half play from Mottershead.

What a try from Izzy Rowe! Great dummy and footwork. Off the back of an excellent break from Grace Banks too. The Wigan teenagers causing havoc.

Good start from Wigan. I think it was always going to need Wigan to get some points on the board in the first half. Saints are more than capable of a comeback and I think that's very much on the cards in the second half. Wigan do have a habit of slowing down in the second half and that might make for a very exciting end to this.

Veivers just going straight through the Saints defence. They won't be impressed with that. One player getting ahead of the line and then missing the tackle.

Wigan looking really dangerous with ball in hand as we've come to expect this season. That line from Molly Jones was brilliant. We've overplayed at times but I guess that's just the way that Dennis Betts thinks we'll cause the most damage.

Does Sam Tomkins actually want to be a head coach? It's possible I've missed something but I didn't think he'd taken up a coaching role at any level yet? I thought his future role at Catalans was meant to be in recruitment and he's been working for England in an administrative role. It seems more than a little premature to be earmarking someone to be the apparent saviour of French rugby league at this stage, particularly when his brother is already there and is already coaching.

This game isn't remotely being treated like a contest. Wigan's attack is just throw the ball around and have a bit of fun without any build up or structure. Unsurprisingly it's going wrong more often than it's going right, particularly with the changes in personnel. Not a particularly good watch.

Memorable first game in charge for Joel Tomkins. Wigan's wrecked 'um

That's clever from French. No one is expecting a ball to the short side with all the support inside. This is one of the worst Catalans performances I've seen. We've been pretty poor too.

Bevan French has had a quiet game and this is what he does in quiet games. What a pass that was

Give Eckersley some credit for that try too. He could have taken that ball into contact at any time but knew someone was going to run the inside line.

Not good for Walters. Down injured without anyone around him. Both our best props off and that might be a way back into this for Catalans.

We've built up a pretty good lead. Time to needlessly give it away and make the game closer than it has any right to be by conceding soft tries.
