Thur 29th Jun : SL: Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos KO 20:00 (Sky)

[Man of Kent]

Judging on that 40 minutes, Dufty is never a half as long as we have holes in our hoops.

Powell looks like he’s hiding behind the glass in the coaches box 

[Padge]

Who are Leeds playing tonight, fixtures say Warrington?

I don’t really understand that yellow card. A penalty, for sure. But there was no contact with the head. Yet earlier, when there *was* direct contact with the head by Sezer (with his hand), it was just a penalty.

 

Are all shoulder charges now automatic yellows?

I did think that tbh. But it was reckless so can't complain too much. 

[WN83]

That Wire run at the start of the season feels a long long time ago.

cant identify with turqouise turtles so might switch  over

Warrington have attacked like a team who haven’t trained together. Surprisingly poor.

I'm too lazy to go and do the research, but there must be a handful of matches this year when we haven't scored in a half.

I think he knew what he was doing - intentionally trying to give away a penalty to slow the game down. 

[Chrispmartha]

If Wire score next it could be game on, they srated to okay with a bit more speed in the last 10 minutes and I think Leeds deviated from the game plan a little.

   Wolves are playing percentage rugby but to win they will have to be much more expansive throwing the ball about.Trouble is Leeds are better at that and their defence is very solid.

For Warrington fans who want their spirits lifted, BBC4 are showing The Producers* at 9pm. Happy birthday, Mel Brooks!

*the original (funny) one with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel.

Fifita copped a yellow card for disputing a decision from Kendall last week that was nothing near the in your face gesticulation shown by Sezer there.

 

The problem with Kendall, in a nutshell.

You're not allowed to say that !

Just in time for me to hit record

Matautia looks like he’s got an antenna coming out the back of his head . Maybe he’s remote controlled

One of the funniest films ever, but still not as funny as Warrington. 

Happy Birthday Mel

Leeds appear to be OK for questioning Kendall's decisions.

[WN83]

Big Sam is up there with Big Al for wanting to referee games (well not quite). Looks to have lost the plot. 

[Dave T]

Drinkwater clearly unfit, just nudging the ball around. Started with Dufty at half, now Clarke playing halfback. It's a mess.

Is Riley Dean so bad that he can't get I this Warrington side ?

Just waiting for PM to move back to his natural number 6 position

They’ve been better since he went off . I presume he has I haven’t seen him 

[Dave T]

I genuinely believe we are now seeing the outcome of six again. Horribly messy ptb's. 

[Futtocks]

To be fair to the Wire, it's now been a while since Leeds scored.
