I beg your pardon your honour but may I put forward Hull FC v St Helens as evidence for the contrary.

Another six again helps Wigan's cause.

I've run that through Google translate and it comes out as "ref correctly applies the rules"

C4 have been fortunate with their choice of games .

Not always; last weekend, they showed a Rugby union match.

Indeed he did, why raise his foot if he was just tackling him?

Good teams make their own luck so correct decision. Apparently. 

[Old Frightful]

Justice served, some might say.

[Desert Skipper]

Salford have been very lucky every time they’ve gifted Wigan field position.

Yeah seemed a line ball at worst.

[DavidM]

Good to see Watkins joining Hall in showing up well in WC year 

[GeordieSaint]

Wigan…

[dkw]

My word, how on earth did they bomb that 

[Futtocks]

That pitch has played better than it looks.

And Wigan slaughter a great chance, following an exhilarating break by French!

[Old Frightful]

"They are gonna score"

So many mistakes from both sides but it’s actually making for good drama. Someone needs to drop a goal.

[DavidM]

French beat every single salford player three times 

[GeordieSaint]

Salford are done here… knackered.

[dkw]

2 absolutely exhausted teams here.

No need at all for Field to miss players out with that pass to Marshall. All it needed was to go through the hands, not miss out 2 players.

I want to see that run from a better camera angle!

And Farrell viciously assaults Vuniyawa's forearm with his neck. 

[gingerjon]

Not sure tiredness is a good enough excuse for a high tackle

Yep, play through hands and it's a walk in. Was a strange choice.

[Desert Skipper]

If I turn up the saturation setting on my TV I can actually discern the difference between Farrell and Marshall. Marshall is slightly less a shade of brilliant white.

[Futtocks]

Another Wigan chance bombed. Is it going to come back and bite them on the bum before the end?

[DavidM]

If it’s a boxing fight which ones Dillian Whyte

[DavidM]

Hold it , 6 more !!
