GAME ON : Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Tough one to call, even the bookies aren't sure. Leeds with -2 on skybet right now.
I think home advantage might swing it but no more than 8 points between the sides.

Wigan leeds game always hard to call, its possible the biggest none derby game around,(bigger than most derby's) the two biggest clubs in the game.

Leeds for me by 6 points, but if Rat Boy is allowed to ref the game then Wigan by 6 points.

There will be more ref's on the pitch tonight than there are in the other 5 SL games combined.
Myler is working hard on becoming some for of Sinfield - Maguire cross breed.
He's certainly learned to flap his arms about just as often as he can.

Him and Sam Tomkins will be scrapping over the whistle or, the ref's ear, which wouldnt be too bad if either of them was captain

Wigan to get a decision at Leeds? Are you being serious?

Can we keep the Wakefield chip on the shoulder, "refs favour big clubs, Wakey always harsh done by, our players don't do the same", conspiracy whinging to the Wakefield board. Thanks

Pretty substandard first half

Dreadful game. The passing by both teams has been poor at best. Where is the quality in SL these days?

Extremely disappointing first half. Was hoping for an entertaining game but it's been very boring.

Think the Easter schedule probably playing a part as both teams are lacking any real zip and energy.

Awful game between two average sides, Wigan in particular look really poor. Until they sack Wane and stop playing Powell at 7 then they’re going nowhere. Williams is massively overrated also, have no clue how he is a marquee player.

Too many errors in this game, knock ons, bad passing, stupid plays from the so called top teams in super league.

Completely agree, I've been wanting wane gone for the past couple of years

Just heard the two clowns on radio Leeds stating that holding the ball in the scrum is "negative"(Francis Cummins) and "not in the spirit" by the other muppet. Absolutely golden, it's a bloody good ploy to catch teams taking the absolute pee out of the offside rule and touch judges reluctance (or should that be instruction) to give offsides at the scrum.
It should be used more often!

Missing for quite a few seasons now.

This game should be abandoned for lack of professional rugby league content.

How Wigan are only 2 points behind with the amount of errors they’ve made I don’t know and those 4 MOM candidates are yet again laughable but at the same time I’m not sure who deserves it.

I nearly punctured a lung when those MOM candidates came up. Surely a mickey take.

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.

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?

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.
