Apart from all the vowels in weekend which have vanished completely

He's good for at least one of them a week

[DavidM]

PNG players don’t do soft tackles 

[Loiner]

Great tackle by Miller there.

[StandOffHalf]

There's a ''headiness to the atmosphere that hangs over it'', according to Woodsy.

Nah, it's just a bit dull.

[Hopie]

Ball goes backwards not a knock on this week

[StandOffHalf]

That looked like a Warrington knock-on off the Sinfield dab over into the corner.

[Barry Badrinath]

That yellow is harsh, the bounce did Ashton, nothing more than a penalty for me,

Totally agree , very harsh

I’d say 9 times out of 10 that’s given a knock on.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

You've been Kendalled. 

[StandOffHalf]

I thought that was just a penalty. Fusitua did tackle Ashton over the sideline but it wasn't a professional foul in my opinion. They both ran into one another after the ball bounced in the other direction.

I think a penalty would have sufficed. I don't think preventing Ashton scoring was in the wingman's thoughts as they both went over the side-line.

I can understand the video ref call, but I wouldn't have binned the Leeds man.

[Padge]

No try scoring opportunity denied, he had over ran the ball, result try scoring opportunity taken, take what you are given.

I'm not sure what the VR had to look at there, as he didn't check the offside and the other officials saw the tackle and bounce of the ball.

Kendall has ruined this game, it was a good contest until that very harsh yellow and not giving that  knock on.

[StandOffHalf]

Walker carving them up when he runs. A really effective part to his game.

I hate bashing refs but I'd have to agree that two seemingly incorrect calls have effectively killed off the contest.

[Gates1]

Three thoughts from the game:

- Matt Frawley is a poor man's Liam Finn.

- Josh Warrington is the 2nd worst pundit I've heard on sly.  A fair bit better than Jon Wilkin though.

- It might be Warringtons year.

Then don't do it 

[johnh1]

Why wasn’t that a sin bin for Williams? A blatant off the ball tackle.

[StandOffHalf]

Perfectly legal 2nd man in tackle from McDonnell, from what I saw.

I thought the contact was fine; if anything it should have been a penalty to Leeds for the Wire reaction/jostling.

[Barry Badrinath]

That's a leveller that sinbinning
