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

Not quite sure how that vindicates your opinion.

KR could have easily (judging on their performance so far tonight) not scored on that set and then Wigan go down the other end and kick a penalty making the difference even more severe.

[bobbruce]

Apologies to Wigan fans but KR don’t look like scoring and Miles Lewis is rubbish. 

[StandOffHalf]

French is such quick-silver magic.

He adds a dash of unpredictability to a tight contest.

Ah, silly from Lewis for putting Farrell above the horizontal - although I thought the Wigan second-rower added to it by bringing one of his legs up.

[Exiled red]

Dropped it

[EagleEyePie]

Oh my Wardle has made an absolute mess of that!

[Futtocks]

Did Wardle lose that? Jesus!

[Click]

Ah, he's dropped it on contact !

[Coggo]

In future that’ll be known as a Jake Wardle.

[Just Browny]

What a tackle by Hall.

Yes, great defence by Hall to get across for that.

Had that happened, they would still need two scores, unlike having gone for the try and scoring one.

[Just Browny]

Of course if Wardle gets up and punches the air, Kendall probably gives it the nod and the VR says he cannot see evidence to overrule. Good honesty by Wardle.

[Damien]

Keighran has stepped up big time tonight, he has been great defensively. 

[DavidM]

Rovers need to bring Cleary on

Hkr won't score with this Wigan defence. 

[Hopie]

Ryan Hall still has that class, they were talking early on in the game about Hull KR lacking Grand Final experience, but didn't mention him for some reason.

[Waynebennettswinger]

Bevan French having a great game with the ball and as referee.

It’s looking that way isn’t it.

There was plenty of evidence to overrule if that had happened. What are you talking about?

No, it was very clear on replay.

[High Peak Rhino]

Keighran's tackle there sums up Wigan's brilliant defence all night.

To be fair, I don't think Broadbent has been given him too many things to think about

Definitely, Wigan are a superb TEAM from top to bottom.
