No Wilderspool though.

I find confidence in sport fascinating. Some players for Wire look shells of themselves. 

[binosh]

Looks like the Warrington players want Chambers out aswell.

They do indeed, and I suspect Gary Chambers knows this is the first thing he needs to address.

Achieving that in a half time team talk is a bit of a push, but who knows...

I went to do the washing up, hoping it would take me up to at least the hour mark, only to find my wife had done most of it so I had to go and sit back in front of the TV.

Was a bit surprised to see Ratchford back on again. Now they've decided he can't go back on.

[Thunder Road]

Surprised Rash was allowed back on

It is very much like Schrödinger's cat.  As long as it is still half time the match is both won and lost.

Thats appalling refereeing.

[DavidM]

Terrible decision

A very tough call indeed on Warrington. 

[Dave T]

The ref has given permission for this interference. 

For me it's the biggest blight on the game and. It all comes from 6 again as teams know it ain't really a punishment. 

[dkw]

That was an incredible decision, I have no idea how he gave it, ridiculous.

[Dave T]

And there we go. No acting half.

There’s been plenty of messing around at the ruck that hasn’t even had a 6 again tonight. Messy, to say the least.

There seems to be an obsession with letting it flow, when it does anything but allow the game to flow.

Indeed, had that led to a Wire try, it would have made for a terrific finish.

Wire a bit of a different team this half.

According to one poster on here it has sped the game up.

[DavidM]

Poor from Mitchell Pearce , don’t like those tactics 

[dkw]

Where on earth was dufty then.

About 30 metres away running the wrong way 

[Havenwarrior]

Not that they needed it, but Cats getting all the decisions off the Ref. Plus Cats have became experts at moving off the mark to play the ball.

Running to the short side as the Catalans dummy half passed to the open.

Which doesn't make any sense as Mitchell was playing the ball and the other Catalans play maker (May) was standing on the side the ball went and yet Dufty went the other way.
