Sun 4th Jun: SL: Wakefield Trinity v Leigh Leopards KO 12:00 (Sky)

[Jughead]

Really poor game but even down to eleven and now down to twelve, you can’t see Leigh losing this. There’s little to say about Wakefield that hasn’t already been said over the past 13 games. They’re gone. There’s no saving them.

The red couldn’t have been anything other than a red. All the pre-season releases said a punch with a closed fist would be a red this year. 

I get that, I should probably have clarified that it was my preference around the rules. 

But I think the punch will be a Grade A no ban and the hip drop will pick up a ban.

Leigh with only 4 in the scrum. Didn't think they could do that.

Minimum of 3 IIRC.

I think the red could have been yellow and the yellow red. 

If a clenched fist is only a yellow then it could become a free for all. A punch to the head is a punch. 

[bratman]

Cmon make a game of it Wakey...

[Snowys Backside]

Shocking game. Depends who will start blowing as Leigh are a fit team.

Oh no, dropped!

Oh yes. dropped.

Leigh probably couldn't be playing much worse and Wakey are still dire...

Absolute stinker of a game.

You can improve things when you play Wakey next year, that should be a cracker.

[Harry Stottle]

Leigh will outscore Wakefield in the second half, just keep playing the ball through the hands they will look as though they have the extra man.

[MZH]

This should be a great chance for Wakefield playing against 12 for the whole second half on a warm day, Leigh should tire badly towards the end. Unfortunately I'm just not sure Wakefield have got enough points in them regardless.

That is an incredible miss by Lineham. He’s been woeful today.

Not just today mate, but he’s not alone. If Applecrumble says composure again the TV is out of the window!

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

A red card for Lineham is our only hope. Matches the numbers up yes but rids us of the clown. On balance a positive outcome.

[sweaty craiq]

Had a bad feeling about this game, Kyle dropping out late, too much lost possession and the cards are confirming it. 
will be huge to hold out for a win in heat on a wide pitch

   We had him at Fev last season and he was no better in the Championship.

   You will win.

[DavidM]

Well that just sums things up !

[Industria ditat]

Wakefield play another half without scoring... how often have they done that this season?

[Wolfey Rovers]

Not seen that in a while blue on blue

[bratman]

Bloody hell Wakey! I don't think I've ever seen a charge down of your own kick with your head

Not really. High tackles can receive different punishments. Just a penalty, sin bin, or red card. 

We treat punches differently at the disciplinary. 

We make subjective calls all of the time, it's part of the game. There is no one-size fits all solution. 

[GeordieSaint]

Exceptional Leigh try. 

[Harry Stottle]

Great try

[sentoffagain2]

   That try dosn't belong in this game it was superb.
