Just watched the tries back on Sky this morning . How a team that prides itself on its defence become collectively so poor at tackling is mind boggling .

There was a young blonde schoolgirl in the kids games in front of the Wigan fans a half time that tackled everything .and tackled everything well . The Wigan players could learn a few lessons there . Lol

Things would change and improve if the TV commentators and more so summerisers were critical of wrong decisions made by match officials.
The try at Leeds scored between the legs of the Leeds player playing the ball was ridiculous. So why didn't the tv folk call it out as wrong before the decision was made. Same with the "Spear or Tip" tackle by French. The phrase "a bit harsh" was nonsense. Why didn't they ask which part of the Leeds player was lifted above the horizontal?

If the match officials were called out live on tv their seniors would soon sort things out and standards would improve. That includes the logic, or lack of, a referee going to the VR and saying I think it is a try or No try. Just allow the VR ton make the decision, he's a full time referee and as capable as the match referee for giving the correct opinion.

They did say the try shouldn’t have been given.

Yes they did, only after the decision had been made.
An opinion like "They can't give that, it's just illegal".

I just watched the Wests game. That was a shocker, that literally atole the game for the Cowboys. Wasn't the only bad decision in that game by any means, though.
