| Quote: Mugwump "I'm not sure when the penny will drop. Maybe today. Maybe never. But you cannot equate a try-scoring forward pass (which gives the defending team no chance) to a knock on that leads to six defensive tackles. Besides, it was a knock on. And if it wasn't Wigan would have been penalised (in front of the sticks) for Tomkins taking the ball in an off-side position.'"
So you're saying that, had that pass not been forward you would have been able to prevent the try? The fact is your defence was out of position and had been beaten so stop bleating. The officials missed a forward pass, just like the forward passes they missed from your team (and there were several of those).
And no, the penny will not drop, as you put it, because the distinction is all in your own mind. You got a set of six you never should have had (Tomkins came from behind the ball so that point is moot too) and scored off it. Both bad decisions resulted in tries that shouldn't have been. You consider the one is worse that the other because it was against your team. How do I know that? Because there isn't a single instance of you complaining against the decisions that went your way. Mind you, that's hardly a surprise.

Five yards further back and the defender has a greater chance of making the play. It's not like there were thirty yards of space to run into.

The distinction is perfectly valid and only a one-eyed fool would claim otherwise.

My pleasure.
Let's be honest. You've come here to have your vanity masturbated. Not content with the endless eulogizing on the Wigan board (where only one member that I've seen has had the stones to pipe up and claim you rolled a pair) you want to see it coming from Saints lips. Sorry. Saints were the better side for fifty minutes and only lost the game out of inexperience and poor refereeing. But, these things happen and I won't lose any sleep over it.

You can tell that we have become a threat again, can't you? Wire fans want all our staff and Wigan fans are complaining that Jammer whinges.

That is because he didn't.
Therefore, what you said was inaccurate. We were beaten by Wigan on Friday and Jammer didn't 'throw a strop'.
