I don’t mind terry and barrie, but jeeeez, not as commentators, bill arthurs no better either, just awful, sky seriously need someone to commentate on the the game. I don’t need a player profile on every single player that touches the ball, it’s unbearable

Wigan’s Jai Field is on fire. 4 tries and he hasn’t even finished his second game yet.

He’s been outstanding, so as Liam Byrne, crazy 2nd half, commentary ain’t improved though!

Leeds not living up to the off season hype so far. Sezer & Austin have been fairly anonymous if I’m honest.

Though I have to wonder what the hell Leeming has to do to be pinged for holding down etc.

How was Powell judged to be onside for his 2nd try?

Leeds responding to Agar’s half time team talk by conceding 3 tries in 8 minutes.

Commentators now beginning to mention that Leeds are missing 5-6 players. If only we had that luxury….

Think Farrell played him onside by running past Powell. Farrell was originally stood behind the kicker.

Ben Thalers an idiot, what a joke

Cas with a very typical Radford performance last night. Fonua looked very unfit.

Only the kicker can play him onside.

I think tonight showed what some pace in the squad can do! That cas team last night seemed very hullish!!

Yeh, surely teams would take advantage of that if not, so why was he played on side, Thaler clearly said he was off side, then now played on side

.... these are the other possibilities, fwiw.

An off side player is placed onside if:

(a) an opponent moves ten metres or more with the ball.
(b) an opponent touches the ball without retaining it.
(c) one of his own team in possession of the ball runs in front of him.
(d) one of his own team kicks or knocks the ball forward and takes up a position in front of him in the field of play.
(e) he retires behind the point where the ball was last touched by one of his own team.

Cheers, so he was off side and dislodged the ball with a knee. Thaler’s useless, takes forever to come up with the wrong decisions!

I was just looking at the rules too

I know that in Union that a player behind the kicker can play other players onside by moving infront of the (offside) player, however that isn’t covered in the League rules above.

Saying that, rule b) may have applied as the Leeds player touched the ball but didn’t retain it.

To be fair to Thaler, the VR soon moved on from the offside to look purely at the grounding of the ball.

Thought Wigan were pretty entertaining again tonight.

However, their Coach is a bundle of laughs. He’s like Shaun Wane, but without the personality!

I kept wanting to say “garlic bread” every time the camera cut to the young Wigan coach.

Wigan looked good last night , Field looks a very exciting player to watch and reminds me of Colin Best a little , no substitution for pace and still missing French . A lot of Cas fans whinging already at their style of play .

Huddersfield's win today tees up a nice early basement battle between Cas (12th) and Rovers (10th)

If Sneyd kicks us to death next week then Radfords Cas turn us over the week after then we could be giving it a good go in challenging for base camp.

Absolutely.

Wakey having a good dig in Perpignan allbeit looking fruitless.

Bit unlucky I thought, had chances to win.

Puts our defeat today into perspective, when even the Grand Finalists are beaten by Huddersfield!
