The pitch does look knackered tbh.

The players have shown absolutely no sign of not being able to keep their footing.  Doesn't look great but playing fine.

[DavidM]

How can a side with Cleary in but so inept on last tackle plays 

[MZH]

Penrith don't look much at all. They've had a fair bit of field position but they look really laboured in attack.

[bratman]

Pitch is fine

What are Penrith doing?

Not taking it seriously…

Hate to focus on the negative but totally agree with this. Pitch looks in poor condition and football markings makes this look a bit tinpot.

You wouldn't even see the football markings this prominent at boundary park watching Oldham Roughyeds 

 

 

Well, don't, then.

[bratman]

Mago made a big difference 

[Dave T]

Just had "the chat" with my wife who questioned if this watching matches three nights on the bounce would be a regular thing. 

I explained sometimes it may be 4 nights.

They look threatening. Percentage stuff as ever.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Lack of communication on the bomb was Wigan’s undoing then and Penrith are in

Premature analysis. Penrith just scored, so maybe they're taking it seriously all of a sudden.

[Northern Eel]

First time Penrith dominate the ruck and they get a kick away and score. Clinical.

[GeordieSaint]

Ufff that’s poor from Miski.

You're so reassuring.

[MZH]

Miski might find he has a few kicks to deal with for the remainder of this game.

[GeordieSaint]

Really impressed with O’Neill this evening so far.

They've looked threatening because they have spent a bit of time in Wigans 20, but they haven't really created anything.

[Futtocks]

Have I put all the empty seat spotters on ignore, or are they just being quiet tonight?

[DavidM]

Well that was a gift unfortunately

Still looking for one probably

Never stopped them before.

“Yes!  No!  Sorry…” was the dialogue at the back then

[OMEGA]

That started from a poor decision by Smith to kick on the 2nd tackle when attacking the Penrith line. Penrith go 70 metres downfield and score from a kick on the 5th.

also O’Neil got too interested in sledging Fisher-Harris and missed the tackle allowing Penrith to get a fast play the ball & a clean pass to Cleary
