Anybody got any suggestions for man of the match yet based on that first half? Nobody stood out at all to me. Somebody needs to take hold of this game.

No he’s not, big games do tend to show more leniency from refs and rightly so otherwise fans would complain about showpiece occasions being ruined by cards (unless they’re supporting a certain team). Maybe only supporters of big teams who regularly compete in big games understand this though

Well if we treated every game during the season like that,those games won't be ruined either,and more folk might attend games. You don't half talk some carp.

Tomkins can have the benefit of the doubt for the knee to the head in isolation, but when the referee has already warned him to be careful with his tackling technique after he got away with a trip, then the card has to come.

Finals are finals, so the cards are harder to come by and refs may see some advantage in leniency, but dangerous play shouldn't be just accepted in the showpiece events.

Just admit you want Wigan to lose so are seeing it a certain way. A Warrington player does the same and gets away with it then the same posters are begging for a card.

Good defense that. Wire are gonna have to come up with something different to break that line, as they did in the 1st half.
