Sneyd will kick the drop goal, pound to a penny.

Oh... they only go to 2 periods?

I must ask my self...  What is the point!

In a league game, there is no point. In a Cup game, I see that they need a winner on the day, but otherwise a draw should be a draw at the end of 80 minutes. But the decision was made by people who either haven't played in decades or who have never played at all.

When Sneyd is missing easy drop goals you know its not your day.

Just didn't strike the ball with his usual style today. Didn't fancy him to land one after he missed the first.

I've just made the point on Twitter, but we are using win percentage this year.

As neither side won, then both will reduce in win percentage.

Have both sides just technically lost? What happened with the Newcastle v Widnes tie the other week?

Golden point gives you 80 minutes of Rugby League, followed by five-minute periods of Rugby Union.

looking at that first one, i thought he was trying to place it, whilst being mindful of not giving a 7 tackle set away if he missed, which he did and didn't do

Interesting question. To be honest, I think that for Warrington the mental aspect of getting a result is bigger than the point itself would be, we were on the ropes but got away without losing against a tough side who usually drop goals for fun.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Yes.  Agreed.

In a league competition that is being run on win percentages in 2021, don't you have to carry on and get a winner? Otherwise both teams have in effect lost this game?

They shouldn't have. Looking at the table of the RFL Match Centre page I think someone' got the calcs wrong: Hull should be on a win % of 83.33 (2.5 wins form 3 games) and Warrington 50% (1.5 from 3) - they've got them correct for Newcastle and Widnes in the Championship: 25% with 0.5 of a win from 2 games.

That's my take on it. Anything else would be bonkers.

This is going to run smoothly in a season with automatic P&R 😕

You get 0.5 each rather than 1.0. Its not that difficult.

No according to the league table on the official SL site. Even they don't know what they are doing. Has unbeaten Hull 3 (2-1-0) on 66.6% and Warrington 3 (1-1-1) on 25%

Frustrated that Hull didn't finish it off in normal time but defensively the improvement in the team is immense. Three games in and it's taken the opposition around an hour or more to breach our line in every one. Gives you a platform in every game you play so hopefully we can keep that up.

Hull have taken quite a few heavy beatings over the last few years in between decent performances. Be interesting to see what they could achieve with any sort of consistency.
