  1. The 6 again, the NRL one-on-one strip, and not being able to PTB to oneself.
  2. Pryce is a raw talent, who will do good things in attack but offer up openings on D. He's exciting but does have noticeable weaknesses to his game.
  3. Impressive from Sims to block down in the 76th minute and soccer ahead to plunge over for an eye-catching final 4-pointer.
  4. Yeah, Dezaria used the KR foot to support the ball and then re-gripped. It was one of those where ball isn't under his control and he uses what's underneath it. Certainly should have been looked at; probably a drop. Catalans striking at will coming up to HT.
  5. Signs that the warm weather will really suit Moylan and Lam in attack. Warrington managed to get on top a bit in that last 15, but it could have gone either way. I hope Leigh can take inspiration from that.
  6. Game of the season so far IMO. Warrington came back to win, but Leigh's defence didn't deserve to see them lose. I think that's an 80 minutes that will stand both teams in great stead. I thought Leigh were the better team for 65 minutes, but Warrington's ability to winreflects well on the mentality Burgess is instilling.
  7. Really nice drift to the outside and pass from Dufty. Strong support from Nicholson to score.
  8. I really like the Aussie fella Vella as a ref. He is thorough. Not convinced than Hanley was run onside though, haha...
  9. Bad pass execution by Cross after Salford bust the Broncos down the left. Queueing up; should have scored.
  10. Unclear whether Hanley touched that after Fitzgibbon batted it ahead to himself. I thought there was a suggestion though that the ball came out of his grasp as he put it down with his left hand.
  11. I didn't see the start of the game from Headingley but why were they playing the Last Post in April?
  12. Bang on. England in the semi post-colonial present tends to mean just England. English used to be somewhat synonymous/interchangeable with British. Hence, patriotic songs such as Vera Lynn's 'There'll Always Be An England'. I think there is an argument that the team for Ashes series and tours should be styled as GB, as that would continue the tradition - and allow for any stand-out non-English players to be there.
  13. Exactly this. I don't think there is the finance for a 7-game tour but in an ideal world such an itinerary would allow the second-stringers a chance to stake their case and build up to the Kangaroos.
  14. JWH with a good wrapping legs tackle on NAS penalised. Just the wrong call. A number of concerning calls from Klein and Gee out there tonight. Chooks not threatening enough in attack, but the calls had a regrettable affect on the outcome. A good tough contest though.
  15. Yes, no attempt to catch. Just ran into the catcher. Pretty clear that that should have been a Chooks pen.
  16. Klein giving the ball back to Melbourne sees Coates impressively get over. Melbourne have certainly got a big percentage of calls tonight.
  17. Teddy should have been off for an early bath with that trip on the Melbourne catcher. Knock-on by the Chooks, but surely Melbourne took their advantage. Klein gives them back the ball, contentiously.
  18. Manu over in the corner over the bat-back from Sua'ali. Smashing side-line conversion from the union-bound winger as well, to bring it level. Set up for a cracking finish here.
