Fri 6th Sept: SL: Wigan Warriors v Hull KR KO 20:00 (Sky)

[Barry Badrinath]

Err field didn't  bust a gut chasing back there, even when it was passed to burgess who was closer to him

[Archie Gordon]

Hiku - rugby IQ of 200 there.

    Why did the rev go upstairs for the grounding ?.Plain as day.

Wow, how did Wigan not have enough pace to chase down Hiku?

He was being run down, but not as quickly as you might have expected. A huge run from him.

There was never a flop.

There may have been a laying-on. It wasn't on the Twitter clip.

I have no issue with that.

Well, I understand why it was seen as a flop. The ball carrying arm didn't hit the ground, but in high speed from the ref's POV when Gildart brought him down he was tackled, then Burgess joined in and laid on. 

[StandOffHalf]

KR are competing on everything and believe that they will cause errors.

Hiku goes away and Burgess track from outside to his inside to stream away for a 100 metre try and a 12 point lead.

The ref explained clearly why.

[Coggo]

Outstanding support by Burgess. ‘SHORT LEFT!’ (pass)

He said he didn't see the grounding - With no in goal ref, I guess he feels obligated to make sure he did ground it.

What happened to "Okay I am done"?

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Unbelievably dumb from Smith.

Yea, it was a great run from him, and line chosen. But he isn't exactly the quickest outside back in SL.

Well, that was in a conversation with another poster - Am I not allowed to reply to someone else who responds to me after I have said that?

He's certainly not looked as nippy since coming back from injury. I thought that in the first half too when he got clear.

Yep. Kept looking around so that he could pick the best route away from the chasing players. Then found a great offload. That was absolute class from KR.

[StandOffHalf]

KR look so on here.

I really like their cohesiveness and intensity.

They look like the real deal.

I thought it meant you'd stopped obsessing over an incident from much earlier in the game.

Your definition of "obsessing" is very different to mine. 

I was having a conversation with someone on an internet forum, you are free to not get involved if you don't want to.

It is crazy how different KR look to Wigan, for this to be a 1st v 2nd game.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Gonna say it now before I turn it all off, but congratulations Rovers on the LLS. Fantastic achievement and well deserved.

[Click]

Wow, Wigan are lucky to even have the ball from that. Not sure how Burgess didn't intercept that ball.

Awful pass from  Smith? Was it

[Futtocks]

I thought Wigan had frittered that set of six away, but Bevan French just ripped up the script.

[Damien]

Unreal once again from French.

[Coggo]

That’s the wonder stuff KR don’t have. Come the Grand Final, it may be telling.
