Unfortunately (despite the digital age and the fact that everybody has a remote control next to them etc) the audience for BBC2 is less than BBC1 for like for like programmes and I think this game will be a great showcase for for our sport

But surely if you want to watch rugby league or just sport you press the button on your remote and put BBC2 on. I've never really got the big deal with which terrestrial BBC channel it's on.

Despite being advertised as providing live commentary on BBC Radio 5, they're live at the horse racing. Radio Manchester it is then.

I AM JOHN KEAR AND I KEEP SHOUTING! ARGH!

ffs.

Garbage defence from Warrington.

12-0

cant say i like either team, but i am enjoying wigan shut these arrogant wire fans up!

Hair Bear Bunch into touch. Massive deeeeefence.

Reckon the Sam Tomkins thread will push 60 pages at this rate

ref waved play on then referred it to the video ref!! has to be a try!

John Kear is articulate and passionate about Rugby League, always talking the plays and the skills of the game up rather than find controversy everywhere - he will do for me

A agree, and RL fans will be watching the game but the facts are that we have caught more casual viewers for what is a great game with it being on BBC1

Shouldnt have been given, Blythe put his hand on Carmonts back.

I've said all year that Warrington dont have the heart when it gets tough and that they wont win anything as a result. I am being proved right here.

People flick through. I've just watched a Martin Lawrence film cos I was flicking through the channels and I fancied emptying my brain for an hour and half befgore the rugby.

Don't let up Wigan. More pressure and keep them on the back foot. King and Myler look low on confidence.

The fighback is on!!!

Forward? Reet, no more posts from me till full time

Dave Woods is a Wire fan right?

but if silverwood shouts play on, he should've backed his own decision and awarded the try and not referred it to the VR

Holy bananas

We're throwing this away.

What's with the whole Robbie Hunter-Paul thing!?

He married someone called Hunter. She wears the pants. He wears her name.

Took his wife's name as part of his when they married.

Massive f@ck up from Silverwood. He makes the call there and then, either he calls held or he lets play on, he cant wait on what happens before he decides whether or not it was a tackle.

If he thinks he is tackled he calls held, Carmont either plays the ball and we carry on or he plays on and he is punished. If he doesnt, he calls play on and we play on.

In the words of Ruud Gullit - This is sexy rugby.

Bloody fantastic half !!!

Top game. Something tells me it'll be a little tighter in the 2nd half - hope not though!!!

Best game of the year - no doubt
