Where I have a problem is not whether it was a sending of or not (which I think it was by the way) but that another team other than Huddersfield could end up benefiting from it. This happens time and again in our game and it a prime example of why the sin bin should be used much more IMO! Disgracefully late challenge.

Worded my post wrong. Certainly should have been off.

Don't hijack the thread for the head high tackle. This is about the commentary !

Why's everyone posting twice? posting twice?

Bowen should've been sent off. Huddersfield have been great. Eddie n StevO aren't that bad I suppose. Let's just be happy it's back eh.

Sorry, but this thread is boring as fook, been said a thousand times and theres no game thread.

Just enjoy wigan getting beat.

TBH what Micky Mac did was as bad as Bowen, could find himself in trouble as well

Does the video ref check on everything despite what the on field ref asks?

Cummings said the video refs can have input regarding on field decisions, I wonder if Silverwood asked for any advice?

"It's been a pepperoni performance from Huddersfield, they've been hot."

IF THAT MAN SAYS "UTILIZE" INSTEAD OF "USE" ONE MORE F**KING TIME I WILL KILL.

the crowd noise which is 14.86% down on the corresponding crowd noise in 2013

sorry double post

At least they didn't repeatedly go on and on about Brough missing those goal kicks.

It's nearly as annoying as one of Phil Clarke's "What have that learnt from that lesson" speeches.

Thought I heard they are BOTH finishing at the end of this season..

If it's that bad stop watching it.
I went instead.

It is a good idea as yopu can see exactly what they are looking at and for how long before they come up with a decision. It is just they are not used to the technology yet. They will get better.

In the past i used to think they were finishing their bovril off before making a decision. At least now you know what they are doing.

Why give that sorry excuse for an official Ganson more tv time!

Good for you. Wigan or Hudds fan perhaps?
Are you going to see Sts and Warrington on Thursday?
Perhaps you will take in Hull FC and Catalan next Friday before making the short trip to Craven Park (yes, Craven Park) to watch Rovers take on the Rhinos the following Sunday?

Not just me, then.

The VR debacle needs to go the way of the margin meter - but quicker; watching two old blokes faffing about with a touch screen telly - in split screen - on the telly, was excruciating. Time for a rethink!

As for Eddie and Stevo - same sh.it, different season; the Sky producer has got to get the message out there - it's time to utilize something different.

I thought they mixed up the commentary a lot more in that game. All 4 had some input into the game.

I thought the best quote of the day was Stevo saying " Sarginson has been showing some form" 13 minutes into the match.

Form 13 minutes into the first match of the season. I'd need at least 4 - 5 games before I could call it form.

But honestly it did not bother me at all. If it did, I'd turn it off rather than listen to it. I liked the video ref bit. Needs more of a polish to it, no need to show us the 2 fella's in full screen, they could show the replays in a large screen with them 2 in a corner screen. I did like the announcement to the crowd, more NFL like. I'd expect some not to like it, but some people don't like that there are no unlimited tackles.

It's not going to make or break the game, but it's a nice extra.

Clarke was still annoying as ever

They should also show a shot of a random "fan of the week" sat in his armchair shouting "F*** Off, nowhere near a F******* try that!!".

That's exactly what we do.
Not just them but most commentaries in most sport!
The world cup on Premier was an exception. I actually enjoyed that.
Have to say I like the idea of the VR
