[DavidM]

Leeds surely in the draw for the final now 

[Old Frightful]

That Ash Handley try was a knock on all day long.

Are you moaning at me for saying Wigan should have had a penalty? Is there not a game to watch.

No. I'm very much laughing at you, whilst watching a great Leeds display.  You must have noticed that despite your obsession with the officials. 

[Futtocks]

Leeds have looked at the conditions and made them work in their favour. On top of that, they've played really well for any weather.

If he only spoke about the ruling it would be fine, but most of it is about pausing, the other frame, run it back, can't see anything there etc etc.. 

But that’s how they do the job? It’s not ideal but it’s the only way it can be shown. I’d quite like VR’s to come over the intercom at the ground and announce their decision so everyone could hear, just for accountability reasons.

It will take a serious injury before the RFL put things in place to stop players crashing into hoardings

If they're padded then you don't need so much to stop the players crashing into them. 

[Derwent]

Wigan’s pack have been absolutely garbage, you can’t win games with that kind of yardage figure.

[JonM]

The only criticism you could make of Leeds is that they absolutely dominated the half start to finish but are only 20-0 up.

[Guest]

Leeds have shut down Wigan’s extremely predictable play every time. Leeds playing the conditions really well.

Only a Richard Agar half time team talk can stop them now.

why was wilkin fawning so much over the wigan 11 12 and 13 before ko? total rubbish

[Helpourgame]

Once again arrogant officials unwilling to listen, the new ones coming through are beyond belief. At least thaler, hicks try to engage with the players as did bentham, this lot are ruining the game because they are not good enough.

[Old Frightful]

I can't understand this.

Leeds have absolutely dominated Wigan in the first half yet in the previous round, Wigan absolutely dominated Hull FC for almost the full game.

Are Hull FC that poor?

Come on everybody, don't let me down.

When does your certificate come through? Have you been appointed to a game yet? 

[Northern Eel]

Not at all good from Wigan. Totally bossed by Leeds so far. 

[Helpourgame]

Despite being a Wigan fan I have to agree with you, we have been a bit below par the 1st half. Let's hope we come out and make s bit more of a game of it.

Blimey O’Reilly. Wigan have been awful.

To be fair to Leeds they haven't been allowed to be anything else by some fantastic play in front of them.

This is an utterly bizarre take from this first half.

At some point you have to stop listening and just tell em to shut up. 
 

A well known Australian player told me on the pitch years ago “I will have my say and you will listen to me” 

I told him he could shut up on the pitch or off it and he had seconds to decide which it was to be.

Making any sort of game of it would be a start. 

[Old Frightful]

I see Wigan have brought Bevan French on at half time.

[Futtocks]

I'm just worried that TRL's Warrington fans will wear out their keyboards before their own match starts.

Leeds did a job on him on the first half.

Was Richie Myler's eye liner running then?
