Sat 14th Sept: SL: Huddersfield Giants v Warrington Wolves 18:00 (Sky)

[Wilderspoolmemories]

Wire by 20. 

[48C North Stand]

Unless Wire are really dire, they'll win quite comfortably. 

[Alffi 7]

Vaughan suspended alongside Fitzgibbon (though Fitzgibbon wouldn’t have played anyway through injury - the Bateman signing making a little more sense now).

Dufty back in contention, but think he will return next week vs London. Harrison returns though.

 

So I guess

 

CTW, Thewlis, Tai, King, Ashton, Williams, Drinkwater, Yates, Powell, Harrison, Nicholson, Bateman, Currie. Subs Walker, Musgrove, Philbin, Crowther.

I think your view is probably right, extra week for Dufty. Bateman seems to be finding his feat both him and Yates look good signings.

[Thunder Road]

Wire by 3 scores.

[daz39]

Wire by plenty, it's all about working for next year for us.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wire by 18.

[moorside roughyed]

Wire by 12 at least. Come on you Wire .

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Are we going to get a full round of nilings this weekend?

[StandOffHalf]

Question marks on that lofted ball from dummy-half?

Passer was almost running backwards and the ball seemed to be passed forwards to the winger.

[StandOffHalf]

Savelio and Salabio are an interesting one-two punch. Bit of a mouthful!

[Just Browny]

Currie is incredible tonight.

[Agbrigg]

Well having watched half a game of garbage in an empty stadium over in Hull, things are just as terrible in Huddersfield

[bratman]

What a choice of games tonight!

A peNILtimate round from hell...

[Agbrigg]

At least there is a bit of a contest happening, will Wire stuff this shambolic lot by a greater margin than Salford stuffed Hull.

[bratman]

Double high tackle

[Fly-By-TheWire]

Ant the mitigation that reduces it to yellow was what?

That the score is already 0-36?

Ridiculous.   All we want as fans is consistency.

[Trojan Horse]

Referees afraid to give reds now. Straight contact to head and then round neck. Player wasn’t lowering at all on replay. 

 

Not sure what the mitigation was for very poor technique. By all accounts that should have been a red.

It looked like it, and if the first one hadn't been a kid that would have been red

Terrible. I think the annoyance from fans has had an effect here but it’s actually made it worse because that was clear cut and just makes it inconsistent.

 

What about when another player makes head contact, does a mystery mitigation now save them all from red. Another can of worms opened. 

[JT RL]

Head tackles ruin the game … players are too worried, ducking & cowering to play decent rugby. Not rocket science - send high tackles to the bin & then off. Obviously includes seat-belt tackles.

[Fly-By-TheWire]

Deary me it’s as obvious to anyone that ball was pushed forward by Livwtt’s hand from the first closer shot.   The NRL refs would have made that call within seconds. 

[Barry Badrinath]

Thr one complaint from a lot of us wire fans early season, was we had a good first half, got a winning score, but didn't kick on after the break to put a true beating on anyone.

 

Even last week v saints.
