Can't fathom why Leeds tried for a drop goal.

Wait a minute.

Contact with the head in the last 2 minutes with 1 point in it isn't a penalty?

Fair play to Wigan, absolutely shocking all game but somehow won, Shaun Wane is a very lucky man yet again though. Leeds are one poor poor side though, absolutely bottled that. Only Saints look any good so far.

And Leeds beat them away

Thahler saw the high shot on Powell, but missed Flanders breaking Handley's nose.
The ruck speed was awful, two scrappy performances.

16th March

Saints 20
Leeds 28

We let it slip tonight and didn't play well. Many people have written that same sentence in nearly every one of our title winning seasons.

Most teams would have beat Saints’ that night seen as they had a 52% completion rate. Thing is, that was Saints’ only poor performance so far.

I dont think Thaler DID see that high tackle (bounced up off the shoulder anyway).

Stay down and you'll get a penalty.

Get up and play the ball like Stevie Ward did twice in two tackles and you won't get a penalty

I'm disgusted by that, genuinely disgusted. Wigan spent that second half throwing themselves to the ground and Thaler bought every single dive. That last set of ours we could have had a penalty every tackle but suddenly he lost his whistle.

If Wane is as good as his word he'll drop half his team next week.

Re: GAME ON : Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors - 19:45:00 : Fri Apr 13, 2018 9:05 pm  

"exciting game" says Wane.

Boring team to watch, Wigan

Yes, you got mugged, not as bad as Catalan last week, but the ref looked a bit blinkered at times to put you out of favour.
