So he can’t say the name of either side then

That was certainly a bullet pass.

To be fair, I'd rather him say nothing at all.

[Mapleyther]

Leigh’s forwards not making any impact. Ben Nabukwai not broken a tackle in his Leigh career!

[Agbrigg]

third dirty and deliberate late tackle now, when is the referee going to stamp this tactic out and give a red

[Wigan Riversider]

Wigan have been the better side in the opening half.

It is mad that somehow players feel entitled to do this, time after time.

I would agree with that. On the other hand, surely highly embarrassing to be just 4 points ahead of a bus stop, after 28 years in Super League.

[bratman]

Pretty good game, Wigan have edged it so far. Bad tackle from Wardle, very late.

[andyscoot]

It's my first game of the season so admittedly I'm still adjusting to this late tackling - how is it ruled?

[binosh]

How many late shots is the ref going to let go? We have lost our FB for the full game and next week.

The only late tackle was the Wardle one. The other 2 the ball had barely left the hands of the passer and the ref has over reacted.

[Mapleyther]

Was Lam obstructed for that first try?

[GeordieSaint]

I am not sure about that first Wigan try (as well as the second). Isa potentially impedes Lam (makes contact on the tackling shoulder). 

Wigan the better team though.

The ref penalised all 3

He was sat in the stands, did Matty Peet runover and block his view

Oh, that’s very clever. Well done you.

Wigan look comfortably in control to me so far.

Hope Leigh can score first to keep it interesting from a neutral perspective.

[Pigeon Lofter]

Is the instrumental music that is played over the PA system when the video referee starts to look at the evidence the same used at all games? Tonight's sounds more dramatic than usual...

[Just Browny]

Slapstick stuff from Leigh.

[DavidM]

Stop French he says 

[bratman]

Great try

[Mapleyther]

Very lucky try in truth

It started with Leigh putting excellent pressure on Wigan's attempted kick.
