Why was that not play on?

Because it's a stoopid rule?

If the ball hits the arm or hand without an intentional play at it, it should be play on I think.

Having said that, it was a strange attempt at a tackle by Nqama, looked like he was guessing who was gonna get the ball.

[Chrispmartha]

Frantic game but both sides execution has been really poor imo.

Why has the ref ended the half shouldn’t they tap take the penalty first. 

I thought that was the rule as, technically, Huddersfield received no advantage from the penalty.

All rather odd.

Or maybe it's just me.

Camera cut away so unless Hudds tapped it then put it into touch to end the half. For me that sort of position with no time left find as much distance as you can with the penalty then put the ball up from the tap.

Huddersfielf are looking very and their try was brilliant. If anything is going to cost us the game it's our discipline. Too much offside and ptb messing.

Cracking idea against Wigan's back line. 

[Futtocks]

Nice second try for Marshall.

That’s not really the point they seemed to lose the opportunity to do anything. 

[Old Frightful]

Great effort from Clune to tackle French then put Smith off his kick all within a few seconds.

[DavidM]

Geez I don’t think I’ve seen a game they’ve cut away from as much 

[Old Frightful]

Even the bloody ref falls over.

Nsemba, what a charge.

[Padge]

Field French combo opens up Huddersfield

[bobbruce]

That’s game over. 

[Futtocks]

French in again.

[Padge]

Marshall hat trick

[DavidM]

One of the great tries 

[Futtocks]

Lovely hands there for Marshall's hat-trick!

[Old Frightful]

A fantastic Wigan try sees Marshall's hat trick.

About the only sodding bit they ain't shown again.

[Padge]

What a pass from French putting Leeming in.

[Just Browny]

Might be another hundred coming up here, Giants have packed in.

Possibly forward, but a cute and effective flick.

Leeming cruises in
