There is no question in my mind that the player stayed down to cheat, and force a video review. No a single doubt. 

RFL need to look at it if the player is staying down surely he needs to go off for a HIA

Did you see Miski's head get rocked back a foot with whiplash? 

Too late. People have gone down a rabbit hole, ignoring the fact it was a brutal hit and that people have been getting hurt playing rl for over a hundred years.

[Futtocks]

Has anyone seen Keighran's kicking boots?

Even if that was correct its not cheating though is it?

[Coggo]

I make that 18 Wigan points scored during the two KR sin bins.

[StandOffHalf]

Nsemba and Wardle is some left edge.

Some strike with magic plays to get them in front.

KR have been the better team, but some of the players from Wigan can pull stuff out.

[Mark S]

I wouldn’t want the job of marking Mago or Nsemba

Why is he still on the pitch surely HIA needed

[Barry Badrinath]

Distinct lack of mikey Lewis this second half

Exactly how I have viewed it - KR has been the better team tonight, but Wigan have multiple players that can have those "moments of brilliance". KR only really have Lewis in that area IMO.

No. If he stayed down for his neck then why would a HIA be needed?

I was just thinking that - Can't recall seeing much of him in this second half.

I think Wigan have been much better this half. KR have only had joy from a long range intercept. 

Fingers crossed for a grandstand finish, but Wigan most likely to score really.

Nsemba can make holes even when he doesn't get the ball. Several times he's been missed with a cut-out pass, but defenders have been dragged towards him, simply out of anticipation.

Yeah for sure Wigan have improved this half and been better, but I wouldn't say they have really played as a "team" not in the way KR were in the first half. 

KR have definitely fallen off this half.

Wasn't that tackle complete?

Thought the complaint was a high tackle so HIA needed

[DoubleD]

Why wasn’t Miski given a green card?

[Worzel]

By the standards of Burgess sin bin, surely French gets sent there for sliding in and forcing Hall out of play?

How do you know what the complaint was, were you the trainer?

[DavidM]

Been a good game this

The team in possession can't get a green card, it is only for the defending team.

[Futtocks]

A few sloppy discipline moments from Wigan in the last minute or two, but KR cough up possession.

Technically the momentum of the tackle never stopped, but I thought it was definitely borderline. Silly of Hall to go so close to the touchline on a night where the grass is clearly slippery.

Ah that is a coach killing error from Storten there.
