Rugby League Season 2023

What a match. 100 % commitment from both sides.

The only pisser for me is the BBC. They couldn't wait to cut the coverage off, and go to the cricket, where there hasn't been a ball bowled. They are now showing highlights from games over a month ago.

It's a sad state of affairs that the BBC show more coverage of men dressing up as women than RL

Why is the final being held on August 12 this year?
It's normally on the bank holiday weekend - has it really been moved to accommodate wrestling?

First one in August this decade.

Thought the sending off was a bit harsh and most likely cost Wigan the game.

First one in August this decade.

Mostly due to covid though.
Last year - was that the women's Euros being in the way?

Never a red card in a million years . Hull KR player conned the officials and made a miraculous recovery about 2 seconds after the red card came out and NO head assessment ???? Liam Moore officiating again he is truly shite !!!! Game changing decision , Wigan players out on their feet last 10 mins a player down . All said and done Wigan messed up an easy drop goal chance on 71 minutes which would have won them the game despite the huge controversy.

Yes a soft red card: Wigan got away with conceding just a penalty with the shoulder to the head challenge late on so a case of swings and roundabouts.

Well done Hull KR and please put in a better show than last time. Also Congrats to Leigh.

Yes the red card was harsh but yku win some you lose some. Was it last season when Wigan should have probably been down to 11 players when they best Huddersfield in the final moments. I think the high challenges were dealt with by the review panel but they was too late for Huddersfield

Huddersfield missed 3 penalty kicks and a conversion that game only themselves to blame !

True but the officials were terrible mate. I thought Wigan played well with 12 yesterday but just ran out of steam. The sending off was harsh but Wigan should have lost a player to the sin bin late on for the shoulder on the head challenge
