Definitely not in the bar we were in, surrounded by various RL & RU merchandise on the walls, and .. French people.

Again KR create a 3v2 but don’t convert. They’re leaving points out there.

I’m not a fan of taking two here

Finally the Wigsn fans make some noise.

Take the easy 2 - Then all you need is a converted try to be in the lead. 

Bloody hell, perhaps not so "easy" after watching that attempt.

[Sports Prophet]

Should have passed the ball on the wing there for a try.

I feel like KR are blowing their opportunities when close to the line.

[Yorks Tim]

Thought that was well wide

Yeah, I understand the rationale, but they need to cross the line. Best doing that sooner rather than later in my book.

Massively the correct call. Not taking two puts massive pressure on the set and if you don't score a try having turned down the penalty it's a hammer blow. As it is they have 24 minutes to turn over a one score advantage.

It hit the inside of the post. 

[Irish Saint]

After watching Lewis penalty I think Hull KR will need a try under the posts.

[Sports Prophet]

Not enough talk for Burgess there who could have let the ball go dead if his team mates actually opened their mouths to tell him how much time he had

[Click]

Ah Burgess needed to let that go!

[Just Browny]

Why has Burgess carried that dead there, no Wigan players within 30m.

[Futtocks]

Oh, Mikey. Daft penalty.

[Just Browny]

Penalty there is a reward for a bad pass and arguably a poor position Farrell puts himself in.

[bobbruce]

Little bit of a jump from Farrell there. 

[Coggo]

Lewis placed Farrell down like a baby going to sleep. Not a penalty, for mine

Now you've said that he's nailing a match winning penalty from the touchline

[Click]

Silly, silly play.

[Archie Gordon]

Harsh on Lewis that.

[StandOffHalf]

Broadbent should have passed to Hall, but Lewis scrapes the penalty for the late tackle in off the post.

There goes the two points they just earned. I feel swiftly vindicated in my thoughts KR should have gone for the try.

As soon as he goes above the horizontal it's a penalty.

The reason it is only a penalty is how he didn't just dump him to the ground.

(& whats with all these baby analogies recently on this forum)

I love how the clearest dangerous lift call you'll ever see is still somehow harsh when it's on a Wigan player
