GAME ON : Warrington Wolves v Wigan Warriors - 18:00:00

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

What's Bill Arthur shouting for?

Liked that little promo vid focussing on a few player a from each team, but... Eddie just hasn't got the voice for that type of thing - that same footage, with same words, but done by a proper intense voice over would have been fantastic, but still a good effort, similar to the type of thing you get on FoxNRL....
Just pay for a voice over man next time....

See I was right about Blossoms being a poor choice. Not a stadium band and crowd didn’t look interested at all and probably why they never cut to the crowd like they usually do. Compare to someone like James who might not be modern but really had the crowd up and going.

Knees from Williams on Charnley as he scores.
Cowardly potential leg breaker from Ratboy.

Should be binned for that trip

Lucky that from Tompkins - another ref and he'd have been in the bin there.

No I don’t think any ref goes for a card there in a Grand Final. A regular league game yes but not a GF.

Probably right there. Seemed like he lost his head a little Tompkins in that challenge.

That was awesome by Gildart.

Bateman forearm smashed Lineham in the face after Wigan's first set - should have been a red.

Tomkins trip was a yellow minimum.

That was never a penalty on Thompson leading to the Wigan try.

Hicks is having a mare.

didn't think that was anywhere near a Pen for Wigan, for me he hit him straight across the chest.

Hicks helping wigan lots here, two late tackles on kicker but only wigan get the penalty, terrible blatant trip by Tompkins and only penalty should gave been straight 10.

Both sides need to settle down a bit here and get some sets completed unless someone can produce something.

LOL and as I say that, a good bit of RL that from Wigan, good vision & then great kick.

Shocking support from Warrington. Thousands of empty seats in the top tier

Poor 7 tackle set that, one out drives. no variety or ideas that set.

Good stuff from Hill that 2nd time he's smashed a player close to the Wigan line and forced a KO

LOL and then he loses it.

This has become mighty scrappy. Ball control is shocking.

ratchford kills so many attacks in great positions. takes the wrong option time and again

That's red card #2 for Tomkins.

does Tompkins need to stab somebody to get a card? shocking with the knees

Far too many errors in this game. Completion rate is terrible

That was again ugly from Tompkins.

Wire a bit clueless on the 6th tackle option all half. bit of a scrappy affair so far, apart from a few decent touches from each side, Wigan need to complete sets and Wire need more attacking threat.

Bit of handbags on the way to the tunnel there.

Tompkins got away with that.

We get it, you’re supporting Warrington tonight and as such seeing everything through blue & primrose glasses.
