Defending champs vs a very professional looking Wigan under Betts.

York Valkyrie have a player down after a heavy fail in a tackle precipitated slightly by a lift by the Wigan tackler accidentally.

Looks serious and a stretcher is being carefully applied support to her neck

Eva Hunter, the same player who ruptured Emma Kershaw's spleen last season.  Doesn't know how to tackle.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Sky running through the earlier tries by Wigan which illustrated great footwork

Let’s hope this is just purely precautionary

How much are Sky covering this year of the SLW?

Are we getting a game every week or just the odd double header?

That’s not good enough for me.

Is The Sportsman showing any too apart from this weekend.

[Gerrumonside ref]

A huge hit from Wigan to stop the Valks in their tracks .

[Gerrumonside ref]

Your not making too many inroads with their pack

The games are bundled into the main TV deal and the RFL/SL/whoever has shown no interest in putting any work into raising visibility except as part of men’s events.

[Gerrumonside ref]

York nursing a nasty looking eye injury, she’s okay though

How do they expect to grow it?

[The Blues Ox]

Totally dominant performance by Wigan. They look really, really good. Too much speed and power for York's size.

[RigbyLuger]

Some first half from Wigan again.
