Fri 23 Oct: SL: Wigan Warriors v Salford Red Devils KO 5.30pm (TV)

[Segovia Carpet]

He gives the fwd pass from Paul yet not the French pass.

[Futtocks]

Always interesting to see comments from people who claimed earlier that they had, in disgust, switched off the match, or even given up on RL altogether. It keeps the thread busy.

[Segovia Carpet]

No I will watch the full 80 Futtocks

[Man of Kent]

Gildart did well there. Wasn’t the best pass

Well, it wasn't aimed at you, but there are some who claim to storm away from RL "FOREVER!!!" on a weekly basis but never quite manage to do it.

Fantastic try, that. Some good ones tonight

Yeap,pity half the posters on here will only talk about Powell’s for the next 24hrs.

That’s it. I’m done with the game.

Hard to compete with the money angle.   Hastings & French will be on more than Salfords 1-7 & bench - Fact of life not complaining

In a situation where the ball is on the floor, then a player hits it with their hand and the ball bounces away. In goal it's a clear try, the rest of the field it's a knock on. So we need to have different rules for in / out of goal.

As for the decision, for me, there probably was separation but the image wasn't clear enough to show it so refs made the right call under the current laws but I'd rather we changed the laws so it wouldn't be.

Because at the moment the hand touches the ball the game stops for the try. Elsewhere it is technically play on

[Man of Kent]

Wigan are having a day out. Salford haven’t been that bad but this could get ugly

How can it go from his hand to his elbow and not have any separation !  He should be in Vegas with David Copperfield if he can do that to gravity 

The notion that it could is utterly absurd.

And according to a chap called "rumours", they will both be off back Down Under as soon as the season ends. Life goes on.

[Man of Kent]

How many of those does Farrell score? Ridiculous strike rate for a back rower.

[Futtocks]

A Pearl double! I haven't seen Wigan this focused and cohesive in quite a lot of rounds.

Wigan 46:12 Salford

[Padge]

Ouch!

He runs some superb lines.

Why, the laws of physics say the opposite..

I'd struggle to name a better one.

Oh, Budgie... bad drop.

Only a lack of size has stopped him from being an all time great imo 

[Futtocks]

Once again, we notice that Bevan French is quite quick.

[GUBRATS]

This is what happens when you try to shoehorn a full season in a short time

When you're not playing against him he's a joy to watch.

Can't fault the effort from Salford but Wigan are playing at a speed they can't handle.
