Fri 3rd Oct: SL SF1: Wigan Warriors v Leigh Leopards KO 20:00 (SS+)

[gingerjon]

I get that Wigan are favourites but the 2nd placed side being 1/5 to beat the 3rd placed side seems a little unbalanced.

[Futtocks]

The Aussie players should be at home with this weather. Not sure about the pampered Brits.

Tez called Mark Wilson ‘Bill’

Anyone got a time prediction on Degsy's Saturday evening drunken email?

Both the time claimed by Wigan and the correct time (even if its only a few minutes out)

Degsy's?

Midnight surely?

CHRIS KENDALL NEEDS TO CHECK THE GROUNDING

[shrewsbury roughyed]

I have complete confidence that the VR will get the right decision 

[Futtocks]

No way to tell if that was grounded or not.

[gingerjon]

Oh this is magnificent

[Click]

I think Harry Smith has done excellent there to hold that up for me.

[gingerjon]

Where else could the ball actually be?

[sam4731]

The RFL really don't want to have to issue another apology here doing they. Has Steve in row Z got a better angle off his old Sony Ericsson?

[Click]

I also think the actions of Hanley interfere with the other Wigan player from being able to get involved anyway - I didn't think he could help ground the ball like that.

[Futtocks]

Did the commentator just say "this is not going to go down well with those travelling Leeds fans"?

I was surprised that wasn't looked at.

I think this is where the old system of benefit of doubt is better.

But, correct VR decision based on current nonsense process.

It's by no means certain that he did, but he held it up long enough for the ball to disappear. No way the ref can give the try without ever seeing the ball down, although Padge has insisted on many occasions that they can.

1985 via the space-time continuum.

Harry Smith very lucky not get penalised there.

Perfect example of that ain't it?

[Click]

I also thought that should have been a penalty to Leigh - Harry Smith definitely interferes with the kick chase.

He can if he so chooses to. It's just not a good idea.

[snapski]

Petition to ban drums or any instruments from grounds

[dkw]

A short pass at the line like that is not a good idea in this weather. 

[graveyard johnny]

dynamo would have been proud of that trick - he goes over the line with the ball in his hands then it completely disappears - not even detectable  by 4 different live camera angles
