2019 Super League

Disagree. If you stand there allowing the ball to go dead how are you playing at it? The contact was made because of the attacking player pushing the defender into the ball. If a similar thing happened that caused a player from the attacking team to obstruct a defender because he was pushed into that defender the offending player wouldn’t gain the advantage.

Williame is between Ratchford and the ball putting Williame in play. Fair call. Was not pushed in a way that Ratchford was not playing for the ball.

Ratchford got nowhere near the ball. Where else on the field can you legally push a player and I don’t mean two players shoulder to shoulder chasing a ball?

We don't agree on the attempt to begin with so we're never going to agree on the outcome so let's just leave it at that.

On that we agree.

London have beaten Wigan for their 2nd win. 2 fairly big scalps for them.

Huddersfield still winless after 4, might be time to start revising those relegation odds

Jesus!! How shocking are Wigan. Well done to the broncos though.

Watch the 2 points that were deducted for salary cap breeches given.
The RFL wont want Wigan in a relegation fight because of the slim chance of relegation.

I still think that although Salford are competitive they may finish bottom, they have such a small squad and over a long season it’s impossible not to get injuries. London also have a small squad but I see the 4g pitch as an advantage.

Wigan are almost zero chance of coming last. Won't happen.

But they should get their points back because their beach was tiny and a points fine for such a minor cap issue is pretty much unprecedented

LOL this is a dumb take.

Wigan already aren't last. They'll find form and make the top five.

There have only been 10 breaches in the superleague era and Wigan are responsible for 3 of them. Wouldn't think that would go in their favour.

Now that really is dumb to think that Wigan will make the top 5

 

[Evil Homer]

Still don't understand how it was even possible for them to have a cap breach with the live cap.

 

[Timmah]

Now that really is dumb to think that Wigan will make the top 5

They're currently only two wins from fifth place, or one win if their cap breach penalty is overturned. And there's still 25 games to be played.

London are only 2 wins from 3rd place and no way will they make the top 5

Cool story. Doesn't mean Wigan won't lol

 

[Evil Homer]

Wigan could be in a little trouble, Leuluai is a very poor option at halfback and Williams rarely seems to have a good game, they have been very reliant on Tomkins and O'Loughlin to help with ball playing over the past few years and now one has left the club and the other is 36 and misses more games than he plays. Hardaker doesn't do any of the things Tomkins or even Escare did for them and is a totally different kind of FB that doesn't really fit their structure from the past few years. They've also lost three international class back rowers in Bateman, J.Tomkins and Liam Farrell (long term injured) and not replaced them.

 

[adamkungl]

When they got over the yips they played quite well V Roosters but losing to Hull and London is very poor.

In addition to the above, rookie coach doesn't help. They still won't go close to last though

 

[LeedsStorm]

Pretty sweeping statement but I can't recall too many times where a defending champion's start to the season hasn't been affected by the silly timing of the wcc. Clearly affected Leeds during their yoyo 2015-2018
