18 May: SL: Catalans Dragons v Wigan Warriors KO 3.30pm (UK Time) (TV)

[Harry Stottle 2,915]

Anyone would think it was mid winter with freezing cold fingers and pouring down causing bad handling, but it ain't, terrible gandling and passing from both teams.

Would like to watch, but can't. Great of superleague to schedule other games at the same time. 

When do you want them to play it this weekend.

To be fair, it is hardly a joined up approach to have this, Wire, London plus Summer Bash all at the same time.

Bloody hell, my stream is shocking. Missed about 10 minutes of this so far!

The Wire game is up to them though SL don’t arrange the day and time.

Been quite poor this so far. Lots of handling errors. I imagine the heat and the size of the pitch is probably taking some getting used to for both sides. Fatigue being likely in the second half, we may see teams’ defences being opened up a little more.

Try for Meeky Marky Lor Rum.

They will have to catch the ball first Olly!

Not sure the slightly shorter than full-size pitch can be blamed for handling mistakes and the temperature in Barcelona is less than we've had in the UK this week. Big occasion & build-up perhaps.

##### peed off, had to switch to radio commentary, stream wasn't playing ball!

[Dave T 15,453]

I wouldn't have Gigot in my team if you paid me. Really bad attitude and more brain farts than anyone in SL right now.

If Catalans can calm down and play direct they can put a few scores on Wigan.  Just too panicky.

[bobbruce 2,400]

Shocking forward pass

[Northern Eel 1,418]

Forward a mile that....

[Mattrhino 1,317]

Thaler being way over the top.

[DavidM 8,386]

No idea what he was looking for

Exactly, how do two people not very far away miss these

Shorter perhaps but it looks much wider than a standard pitch.

Don't you know that everyone is there to watch him.

Touch judge seemed quite a long way off the play at first glance. Not great that one.

[redjonn 1,071]

forward pass before the try... surely

It was marked out by the RFL (nice jolly for someone) so I would assume it's whatever the normal maximum pitch width is.

[wilsontown 447]

Looked about a hundred yards forward but what do I know.

[Harry Stottle 2,915]

Where's Oxford, is this enjoyable?  granted it is more competitive on the scoreboard but quality wise, hmmph.

[Lowdesert 2,760]

Not a lot of comment regarding the forard pass from the commentary team.  Might be brought up at half time.
