Welcome to reality 

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen just that it is being reffed incorrectly imo. That rule was brought in to cover players passing stood up as the ref shouted held I don’t think it should be used on players who are tackled to the floor. As was said earlier they should know themselves that they are tackled. 

[Snowys Backside]

Scrappy game so far.

Leigh Leopards v Wigan Warriors final

Correct to an extent, It was brought in to cover players not hearing the "held" call, particularly a problem in a noisy stadium.

Blatant strip.

Yes. But let’s just ignore that.

[dkw]

That looked nasty at the knees. 

Oof, that's a tackle.

[Barry Badrinath]

Salford just haven't got going today 

[dkw]

Another superb try saver.

How Lafai could possibly scream at the ref after losing that ball... The audacity.

[Ullman]

Terrific tackle by Hankinson.

I agree. Leigh ust not letting them settle. 

[Barry Badrinath]

This is one of them games that highlights sneyds limited game, unlikely he's going to create anything any opportunities here, nikorima isn't doing much either.

 

They're literally batting the ball back 

[dkw]

That summed Salford up, no ideas at all.

[Exiled red]

Slight knock on

True. But we have to remeber that IMG have instructed SL that Leigh must get in the playoffs.

The two sin bins killed the game I dispair at the games direction at present the rfl insist on magic weekend then shaft the spectacle by tedious reffing. 

[Hopie]

Did he push the Salford player there?

It wasn't ignored, it was ruled backwards. I thought it went backwards as well.

The two sin bins weren't tedious reffing, the Salford players clearly hit the Leigh players high. Especially Ryan's yellow.

I'll never get over seeing so many grey and bald men wearing leopard print.
