Can’t believe he gets away with the first one and goes for that.

That is not a sin binning offence

More than 2 of the sin bins last week were.

Did Robert Hicks just say “you’re like a fish” to Liam Marshall? about time someone said it. Terrible play actor Marshall. 

[Roy Haggerty]

Blimey this is a terrible game.

Not aware of Hicks play acting to be honest

[Chrispmartha]

That also is not a sin binning offence, not even a penalty

You. Know, I could have sworn it was. Who's just gone off?

[dkw]

Wigans attack is atrocious, didn't even look like scoring against 11.

You know what i mean.

No, he wasnt square and commited a professional foul. That one was clear (unlike the first)

[andyscoot]

To add, this is a dire match

[Pigeon Lofter]

Excellent audio tonight, crowd interactions picked up clearly by the broadcast for a change. All too often the crowd noise is highly suppressed in favour of the ramblings in the commentary box but not so tonight. Small crowd but good acoustic levels so reasonable atmosphere created.

[andyscoot]

If that doesn't sum Wigan up, nothing will.

2 sin bins for Leeds and not a single point registered for Wigan, meanwhile Leeds score 6.

i know Bateman isnt playing but he gave up a superstar lifestyle in the sun for this? really?

[Rawschach]

With a game as poor as this one, the pressure is on the commentators to keep things interesting

 

 

oh dear

I genuinely don't know if this is a joke or not?

[Davo5]

3 consecutive halves of rugby at home  without a try & we haven’t looked close to scoring one,abysmal.

[Roy Haggerty]

I’ll be honest, I used to watch every to game on telly. Then I started not bothering with games involving the also-rans unless Saints were playing. But I always made the time to watch Leeds v Wigan, because it’s traditionally a quality game, big crowd and has trophy consequences. 

 

###### me, though. At this rate I’ll be filing future games in the same category as Salford v Leigh and doing something else instead!

Makes it more depressing when Terry O’Connor has to resort to ‘He’s carried it in hard there’ etc. in a desperate attempt to make it seem a good watch.

4 halves isn't it now, didn't score 2nd half v Hull KR either.
