Why aren't Wigan playing in their usual cherry and white?

Well, they don't have a cherry and white strip for this season, but their current home strip would still contrast better. Still, I'm having no difficulty telling the teams apart.

[JM2010]

Leeds have started well

[Dunbar]

Leeds have done a very good job of restricting Wigan's go forward so far.

Is it just me or are both teams shirts a bit too similar in colour?

Someone will come long in a minute to say it's just RL fans moaning, despite the fact that any idiot can see that Wigan should have played in their home kit.  

The ref's job is hard enough without trying to tell people apart in a four man ruck.

I’d mock it in football - and even got a response when I mocked it in handball - so feel fine mocking it tonight. Blue versus bluey purple. Just silly.

[Futtocks]

The Pearl scores, Zak misses the conversion. Otherwise a close game.

[Man of Kent]

What position is Eastmond playing? Whatever it is, it’s not scrum-half. Get in the game, lad!

[Man of Kent]

Smart. 

[dkw]

Should have been a penalty to Leeds for moving of the mark.

Not a word often associated with Hardaker, but yes.

He’s probably already blowing out of his backside!

[graveyard johnny]

Give him a break - he hasn't played grown-ups' Rugby for a long time.

[JM2010]

Why does Bullock never get mentioned on all those England squad threads?

I rate him as a prop

He’s hiding in plain sight. I know he’s been playing the Victorian code but you’d think he’d remember a bit.

That really annoyed me, he’s moved 2 metres forward and put the marker in his backside taking him out

Think he needs a few games to get back up to the pace of it.

He looks to be struggling with the speed of the game

[Man of Kent]

Leeds have the same problem as last week: no halves.

And a very young centre playing fullback, Briadbent has been caught out twice position wise, it’s not his fault hes young and playing in an unfamiliar position

[Jim Prendle]

For the Hardaker No Try, the ball was knocked out by the Leeds player, it went over the line and Hardaker grounded it. 
 

Why was it not a try?

Because he hit Hardakers arm first
