Thu 30 Jan: SL: Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves KO 7.45pm (TV)

[Cheshire Setter]

Great work by Ashton with his elbow under the ball.   Won’t prevent a try on the next set though.

[Futtocks]

Ashton gets under Burgess to save the try - not just a fancy-dan speedster, then.

Meaningful ones then

Oh I agree, but I thought we had a high number of offloads last year which is why I checked. It was the rest of open play we couldn't capitalise on, and unfortunately that is still the case here so far. 

[PEANUT HEAD]

Kendall should have been sent off for stamping.

[Moove]

How has Kendal not been sent off there?

[Chrispmartha]

The ref bashing is really quite tedious, anyway, what is the rule on what is or isn’t a charge down?

[Cheshire Setter]

Kendall is a grub stamping on players like that

Haha if I was Bennett I'd be putting George Burgess on the wing 

A very fair point!

I believe there is something about whether the ball is still on an upward trajectory. 

[DavidM]

Ref stands on players . I refuse to say he couldn’t see them

“Charging Down is blocking the path of the ball with hands, arm or body as it rises from an opponent's kick.”

Clinicality in attack.   I think we look a lot better on this early showing but then I did last year also and we know how that turned out

[DavidM]

I am a fan of Cooper . He does consistently put a shift in and he’s got a great engine

He was right on the spot and I thought it was at least a 10 minute spell.

[jacksy]

Isn't a chargedown when you charge at the kicker? He just stuck his hand out.

[Dave T]

Confused by this, he blew the whistle when play was live to stop for VR. Don't you wait for the tackle? 

[Neutralfan7]

If Kendall has no try here? Why has he blown before the tackle has been completed on Clarke? How will the game restarted if it's no try?

[chuffer]

Should have been a try

While he's not exactly the same sort of player, he reminds me a bit of Mike Forshaw in his attitude.

[Man of Kent]

I’d say penalty but no try.

[Dave T]

Should just be a penalty imho. Couple of covering defenders. 

[Leyther_Matt]

Never a penalty try but I’d say Cooper tripped rather than obstructed. Yellow card spot on either way. 

[Barry Badrinath]

Should be watching this at full speed

[DavidM]

Yeh thanks Mike after I’ve just talked you up

[chuffer]

Wahh... Guy chips ball through and is taken off the ball, no?
