Sorry but this reffing is bull. This kind of reffing happens every time we play the Aussies. They are allowed to get away with everything.
Again, totally different reffing to a SL game.

You got some sawdust?

Your England half back ladies and Gentleman

Williams is having a half decent game, just a shame that a few other Wigan players can't say the same tonight.

Deary me Clarkey!

Come on Wigan!

Corey Parker is a tackle machine.

come on broncos!

In contrast to the entertainment of last night's game, this tonight has been awful. A team expected to do poorly in the NRL, a thoroughly average Brisbane side, have utterly dominated Wigan.

Wigan's pack is a powder puff embarassment, have they even managed to get the ball out of their own half in the second half? They don't seem to have props, there is no one willing to take the ball forward at all, McIllorum has been painfully slow all night as well. Bateman and Tomkins have tried, but the former too lightweight to make any impact, the latter still struggling since his return. Genuinely, with only 5 to go, the only time they've been in Brisbane's half has been through errors from the Broncos.

Do you know who else has been poor? The fans. Very quiet, no support at all. It's like they are still in shock from the whupping they got in the Grand Final.

If this is how strong and disciplined the lower end and mid table sides are in the NRL, Saints really don't have much chance tomorrow do we?

What? No they're not at all.

Stupid bit of thuggery, and Wigan lose position. Clubb, you silly man.

Wigan have been awful.Not faulting the effort but really really poor at the basics and no direction or go forward second half. That is not a great Brisbane team

Joe who?



Bad job of committing the full-back though.

If any player needed that, it's him!

He owed em' that!

Must be watching a different game to me.

ffs, now its going to golden point. we have to suffer more of this dross

I can't believe that awful decision to penalise Bateman has made this a draw.

Brisbane will be around the bottom end of the 8, down as far as 10th IMO. Pretty solid, a couple of decent players in Milford and Bent Hunt, but not a side in contention this year.

Wigan don't deserve this, but great try. Clarke hasn't spoken for a while, he'd either jumped from the gantry before the try or exploded in a shower of his own bodily fluids. Wigan really should win this now, Brisbane are without any preparation for this and Wigan really should be the fitter side now.

Is it first try wins?

hard to see anything past a Wigan error and Brisbane drop goal.

How many times Wigan been in Brisbane's half in 2nd period? not often.

First point scored wins. Try, goal or drop goal.

First point.

Clarke pipes up with another classic, "This could go on to be one of the most historic performances ever". It's a friendly between a team who finished in mid table in the NRL and the runners up in SL. Brisbane have been solid but out of shape, Wigan have been awful.

Great kick Matty.

Got away with that one.

This is stupid. Might as well just do the crossbar challenge.
