Six going on seven.

I presume other teams have gone on similar or greater runs?

2 failed challenges for the game.

What Dave Woods is failing to tell you is that Wigan haven't scored a try against SL opposition in over 2 hours which by Wigan standards is pretty poor.

[StandOffHalf]

I thought Wardle clearly impeded with hands as the Leigh player went to play it.

[Hopie]

Feel like that should be like the DRS challenge where you don't get the call but you keep the challenge because it was inconclusive.

[Just Browny]

Did you know its been over one hour since Leigh conceded a try.

[tiffers]

Shocking 5th play from Wigan given the position and time in the game. 

[StandOffHalf]

One of the pivots needs to nail a FG.

Huh?

There is a "inconclusive" call where if the VR cannot tell if the ref's call was right the team retains their challenge.

I thought it was technically the right decision but Wardle also knew exactly what he was doing.

I thought the one a few minutes ago was a decent challenge tbh. I can see the referees pov, I dont think it was a steal per se, but the tackle was long completed and Wardle still had his hand in and around the ball. Could have been penalised.

It's actually 5 months since Leigh conceded a try

I do wonder if he had it in his head that it would be a scrum.

It is in the NRL, I believe.

Mechanics of the tackle or not, Wardle knocked the ball out as the Leigh player was disentangling. 

For me, the wrong call.

I can see on other days the call perhaps could have gone the other way - But Dwyer needs to have more responsibility for the ball, he knows Wardles hands are all over it and he just rips his arm away without holding onto it.

[MZH]

There won't be many opportunities for either team to drop a goal now. 0-0 could be on.

27 years since PSG conceded a try against SL opposition.

Oops.

opps

[MZH]

Terrible lack of game awareness from Ipape there.

[Northern Eel]

This is going to end 1-0!

[MZH]

Wtf are they thinking? Shocking from Wigan.

[Lucy_1873]

Lams action may have saved Leigh from losing 

[Click]

Not going for the DG with less than 2 minutes on the clock is a crazy call from Smith.

[Dave T]

That looked a bad tackle

[andyscoot]

Absolutely shocking. Wigan were right in front of the sticks!
