I think Wigan have gone through that whole half without interchanging their middles, Havard and Thompson have gone the full 40.  

HKR swapped out both props.

That could make a huge difference in the second half with lots of energy and impact coming off the Wigan bench.

Seen it countless times where the ones that look bad end up with the player being fine and the really innocuous ones see a failed HIA. 

Reminds me of motorsport, where you can see people stroll away from crashes that look apocalyptic, but get injured or killed by innocuous looking incidents.

Cheeky DG before the hooter.

This is the time for Lewis to step up. The Wigan halves have outplayed him so far. These are the games for MoS to shine. They've had some decent field position and often just looked toothless.

I was just about to mention that.

Havard and Thompson doing the full 40 and never really taking a break during that is incredible by both of them.

Smith pops over the one-pointer to make it 7-0 at HT.

KR the better team for the opening 20-25 minutes, but they couldn't get through.

Wigan were, I think, finding better field position in the last 10-15 minutes of the half.

Good game, but KR do need to get on the board.

KR's field position and defensive intensity in the opening 25 minutes has been really impressive.

I wonder if that's going to count against them at the end - lot of energy gone into the first half.

Yup, he really needs to step his game up in the second half for me. So far all he really has done are bombs and the one run.

Isn't the decision made by the independent doctor?

Lewis having real trouble trying to tackle French all that half.

That's the key thing for me. Two very evenly matched teams playing pretty much flawlessly, but Lewis does not look able to tackle French one on one.

Apologies if you haven't heard it and now will, but whoever is doing that incessant tap-dripping drum beat needs a kick in the balls.

If anyone at the game is near, I'll pay your legal fees if you do any damage.

Can't hear it. I'm on the halfway line and can only really hear the Rovers fans.

Seems to me like he's trying too hard almost.

I think the decision is made by the club but the independent Dr can say hang on he was out here or stumbling about get him off.

Wigan have looked in complete control to me. Couple of penalties got Hull KR up there but they did nothing with the possession.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

So far French has made a mockery of the Dream Team and MoS.

If that disallowed try had been given, it might have made for a different performance from him.

Alternatively Matt Peet might just keep Thompson, Havard and Ellis on the field for the full 80. If he thinks Dupree, Mago (or Byrne for another stint) won't be as effective then he might not bring them on.
