Thur 2nd May: SL: Wigan Warriors v Catalans Dragons KO 20:00 (Sky)

[StandOffHalf]

I think some Catalans' players are taking half a step forward before playing the ball.

Too many penalties and errors, but it is very slippery.

[bratman]

Knock on from WIgan

[Chrispmartha]

He drops that

[tiffers]

Definitely a knock on. Good effort though 

[DavidM]

Wowzers he made a meal of that I thought he was gonna give it 

[StandOffHalf]

Mago's right hand goes over the ball.

Correct call IMO, but a solid effort from the big middle.

Wigan crowd maybe beginning to wake up and warm into this.

A bit like the players, then.

Mago's effort is denied. Very hard to tell either way, and it was sent upstairs as "no try".

Me too. Clear knock on, no idea why he took so long.

[Archie Gordon]

Ah. The sharper focus replay appears after the VR has watched the 32 pixel version.

[StandOffHalf]

Good officiating by the Aussie video ref.

[Futtocks]

Well, that half ended up a lot more watchable than it started.

[Waynebennettswinger]

Some errors of course but as a (kind of) neutral I really enjoyed that half. I think Wigan will go on to win.

We were just saying something to that similar but not exactly the same. 

[Futtocks]

Satae's in the mood for risky offloads this evening.

[bratman]

Great try that one

This never happens, it is the Deep State.
