Phil Bentham scoured the video tape and despite conclusive evidence that Smith was a half yard offside, he allowed the try to stand.

Saints are a big-game team with bags of big-game experience. They have won five Challenge Cups from six final appearances in the Super League era and have won five Grand Finals in that time too.
Add two World Club Championships to that and you have the roll-call of the best rugby league team this country has produced in the modern-era - and it's a phenomenal record.

I sincerely hope we do. |

That wasn't about it being forward. It was about a possible knock on. They discussed, and awarded the try.
And it was Armstrong who scored it, not Makinson. |

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

Wigan had eight in a row

You should have heard Radio Leeds comments!!!!
It was in the second half, but it was about how the ball came out from either Soliola or Puletua.
Would that be the same incident? |

It would if it was in the first half because Soliola was involved in the play leading up to that try. The ref and the touchie were in discussion a little while and then the try was awarded. It was either the first or second of Armstrong's tries, I can't remember exactly. Our very first crossing was chalked off due to a forward pass. I think the poster has conflated a couple of incidents. |

Wello dropping the ball with the line beckoning,not kicking for touch with the last penalty,a poor kick straight to tompkins,switching off in defence with 1 minute to go are more why we lost than the forward pass,the game was there to be won and without being harsh on our younger players an older head would of helped to win it in the last few minutes |

i thought that about the obstruction but it would be harsh, and they're never going to give that in such a big game against the home team, knowing us we'll get a decision like that given in our favour when we're battering someone at home by 40 points!
