Hull v Saints in the 1st semi, that will be a very good game

Yes, pretty sure Wigan and Hull would beat either of these teams - much higher intensity in spite of all the errors. But this is better to watch.

We all like to so the flair, I think if you had a crowd in for the Wigan Hull game the crowd would have been going mental.

Attrition games don't always make good TV.

Yes, I think one of the tv pundits made a similar point. Would have had a very different feel and made it a better watch.

I'm enjoying it too but as you say the intensity is much lower in this game. Several notches lower I would say.

[Rupert Prince]

Now there is a real hooker...

[Cheshire Setter]

Game breaker that. Looks like Cas v Warrington for the semi. Could be awkward.

How much does he charge

[Padge]

That is criminal, that was a try.

[Davo5]

So close Salford but some great Cas defence 

[JonM]

Looked like he got the ball on the line there, but the video ref started looking after the initial contact.

[Chris Taylor]

How was that not a try? The ball touched the line.

I'd be fuming if I was a Salford player / fan.

[johnh1]

Course it was. It touched the line before being held up.

[Skids]

Yes, that was a try. Poor from the video ref. 

[Davo5]

Silly from Watts 

[Griff9of13]

How on earth can the video ref miss what was such an obvious try? 

[Red Willow]

Typical of Salford's luck. 

Why does Watts still do daft things

 

[meast]

Powell mouthing "Wow, wow" after Watts is sin binned for a late hit on Taylor.

Ironically and laughably, Powell would be the first and loudest coach to cry and whinge ,if that was against any of his angels,that referee's weren't protecting the ball carriers etc.

Stupid from Watts, you'd want a coach to back the officials in stamping out this part of the game!

[Davo5]

Great defence again from Cas but why did they get 5 mins to take the drop out ?

[Griff9of13]

And another 50/50 goes Cas's way.
