I think there was just enough movement to be ok.  My opinion of course.

Yeah, without going back and micro viewing it I am unsure, hence the question on the end when I said Warrington couldn't argue if the extra effort got punished.

 

[Dunbar]

Nicholson was given the 13 jersey this year but I think that try shows he is an outstanding talent ad an edge forward.  Such a good running line l, speed and footwork. 

[Dunbar]

Really really enjoyable game

Really really really annoying drum.

Great footwork. But you’d be a bit upset with the centre if you were the Leeds coach.

Numbering is a bit strange as it has been clear from day 1 that Burgess sees Currie as the loose and he has done well there all year.

One day there'll be an AI option where you can be watching a live game and the software will remove the drum sound... and replace it with a cowbell.

Or remove the score from the NRL game played earlier and keep everyone happy!

Any idea what Hadley has injured there? Just looks to be aching all over the way he is walking off. Text book tackle from the new tackle safe video the RFL put out this week as well.

Mark Wilson:

"Apologies if you picked up any choice language on the microphone"

It's Leeds at home, it goes without saying that you'll hear bad language

 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Wire bodged that break then.

[Gerrumonside ref]

But not then - good by Williams

I hoped he was talking about Wilkin.

Shocking from Wrench. 

[Padge]

Why do Sky apologies for on pitch 'beef' picked up by mics, just put a notice up at the game start saying Live Game With On-Field Sound, May Contain Adult Language.

The crowd could obviously be heard singing W@nky, W@nky Warrington earlier and nothing said.

I'm sure you know this but they legally have to apologise to mitigate the punishment they'll get from Ofcom.

A ribular injury, apparently.

Do they, other programs just put up a warning before saying there may be adult language, no apology offered when it happens as you have been warned.

I think Wrench has the ability to be an amazing player. But he makes some really bad decisions.

Wanky is regarded as “moderate” but generally inappropriate language before the watershed (unless there is particularly strong editorial and contextual justification) so clearly sky sports believe there is a strong context to the suggestion that Warrington Wolves are a bit wanky.

[The Blues Ox]

Leeds fans feeling very aggrieved at this point. Hopefully get a bit of biff on the pitch to follow. 

[Dunbar]

I say this with absolute sincerity, as a team Warrington are absolutely fantastic at playing the ball.

All live broadcasts are required to do it which is why you'll normally hear them do it within a few minutes of obvious swearing being caught on a microphone.

If they put up that the would definitely be adult language then they might not be able to broadcast before the watershed.

But you can here all sorts of obscene chanting from the terraces, so it makes no sense whatsoever.

[GeordieSaint]

Warrington look excellent with ball in hand. Lots of movement of players and the ball. Lots of variety. Very good to watch.

It's been the case that they have to apologise for decades. It may be ridiculous but it all dates back to the rules drawn up about appropriate content. Blame the snowflake Mary Whitehouse generation.
