WPM R17 vs Macarthur | Sun 18th Dec | 8:01pm | Sky Sport 7

Am I going blind? I definitely see a foot trip on KH there. I’m watching the same thing as the commentators but they are seeing nothing.

number8

Clear pen. ;-)

 

Those commentators are stupid as fudge!

Ref had the best view. Phil Moss is a prick. 

On ya Kosta!

Wow I have to say...as a Nix fan since day 1, having eateb plenty of crap due to bad refereeing decision  over the years, this is...refreshing!

Yes, there is as slight touch. Clear pen.

yea soft but I only thing is if it was the kit number 6 for Macarthur steps slightly on right toes??

soft - but contact.

Yesss!!!!

Something to hold on to.

Macarthur 7 shots - 0.14xG... No quality whatsoever from them.

That's defo a soft pen, buuuuuut the way that Lewis hit the ground and the yellow Ball got was way worse and a pen is just a foul in the box.

So MacArthur for their foul with exaggerated contact and so did we :P

That's the only thing I can think of, that there is another camera angle that shows some contact. Very minor contact I would suggest.

Does anyone know where I can find this YouTube live stream?

There’s one on YouTube through the a leagues. Might have to search for a few different things or adjust filters for live?

Tried all that and I still can't find it. Do you need a VPN to access it? Cause that may explain why it's not showing up for me.

If you’re inside NZ Sky got broadcasting rights. So you need to be outside NZ to get the YouTube cast…

Yeah that's the problem, unfortunately I got rid of my last Sky account when I moved from Wellington to Christchurch last year and haven't got around to creating a new one. Thanks for explaining the YouTube cast situation.

Oh hey Kosta converted a penalty!

I’m not gunna recommend a VPN because I wouldn’t do it, but it’s been done by less scrupulous characters. 

Reading the comments I feel like I'm sleeping with the enemy lol...to be it looked like LKH almost ran into Uscock's (who is an arse, so I'm glad got penalised...) leg. I really didn't think it looked like a pen and I'd be furious if one such pen was given against us (as it's happened many times before)

Sheesh, I must admit I'm feeling slightly uneasy celebrating that. Not only because it's against the run of play but to me that ain't a penalty.

If we can keep on like this we actually have a good crack at staying  top of the league come the end of the season. Never thought I would say that 

I hope we don't sit way too deep and defend the next 60 mins.

Still look for the counter and the transition.

It’s never a penalty. You’d all be absolutely filthy if that was given against us. Come on…

100% recommend a VPN, I've watched every away game from 'Japan' for a lot less money that a sky subscription.

Love the slow mo replays of LKH going down. He has to start from such a long way that he ends up over the end before he hits the ground. 

Commentators are a pain in the hole.  They were arguing so much at the time that the pen was going to be awarded earlier, then retracted when the pen wasn't given.  Now arguing the pen should be overturned for us.  Clear and obvious error?  We had posession of the ball, was dribbling, and tripped.

Don't get me wrong.  Soft as fudge, but still.

We’re already sitting deeper. Need to keep probing forward and using the ball. As Fenix would say we don’t get a pen if we’re not in their box.

Ugh this game is an absolute toilet lick. 

Also, how salty are the commentators ? 

Great work Old.

We still counter, great ball from Old to Kosta

Yep. Exactly. And why we have to fight through and win. Daniel McBreen arguing that Kaltak hadn’t red carded with a studs up into his Ball’s shin. Etc etc etc.

Come on Phoenix!

Not so great work Old.

Fudge me this is a cow track. Only missing grates and pats. Ball bobbling everywhere.

We need more Cow Bell

Haha what was that from their cb? 🤡 

Have to say Macarthur have been pretty poor so far.

Old's feet! Puzzling moves!

OVH really isn’t impressing me.

Given the ball away three times in the last couple of minutes. Need to tighten up our passing and ball control.

I'm glad coaching staff is listing to me. Kelly-Heald bombing forward if he has space, the occasional long ball and faster transitions. Makes it much less boring.

Absolute Chiefy masterclass that first 45.

Hopefully as MacCarthur gets more desperate as the second half goes on we get a few more opportunities to counter.

Whilst its not exciting - it is the right game place considering everything. And as shown all year, we can implement a game plan.

Not having a sharp game. 

I was really hoping him and Bally could combine there. 

Bally and Old working their socks off. We can’t sit back like this for another half you’d think though…
