Knock on? How?

[Exiled Wiganer]

They’re after another one.

I don't understand how that is penalty sufficient though given what else we've seen recently.

EDIT
I should rephrase to: I am surprised that was penalty sufficient given some other decisions we've seen recently.

Trying to get players sent off. Not classy.

[GeordieSaint]

What was that from Rovers?

Yeah, Opacic jumping straight up when the whistle blew is not a good look.

[GeordieSaint]

No idea why they didn’t go for a DG. Stupid play from KR.

[GeordieSaint]

That’s a shocking call…

[Barry Badrinath]

Tackled him before he caught that

If Wigan hold on and win I'll eat my hat.

They are defending very well though, as they have all game.

Neither team really looks like they can break the other's line, although there's still time for a mistake. DG attempt soon?

[gingerjon]

And now the officials are just forgetting to give decisions? This has all gone a bit weird.

[Damien]

That drop goal was harsh on KR. The KR player was tackled without the ball and I think the full back was even tackled in the field if play after that

Karma. Batchelor was definitely offside.

SCENES

[Barry Badrinath]

That charge down evens it out 

[Damien]

That's an obvious set restart too.

[gingerjon]

Will someone play some rugby?

[andyscoot]

Should've been a set restart. 

Field should've hoofed it though.

[hindle xiii]

Enthralling.

[Barry Badrinath]

Neither side wants to win

[GeordieSaint]

That’s a shocking set up from Rovers. Blown two DG chances. 

[hindle xiii]

What about the chip over the top?

Just for old times.

[Roy Haggerty]

You will have to watch a lot of games to see two more badly ballsed-up chances to take a drop goal than KR just stuffed in the last 10 minutes!
