I think we had a similar scenario can,t remember if it was early this season or last season. We had put the ball over the try line but went to the camera in back play about 50 metres, same thing ball carrying arm hits the floor with a hand on the player, try disallowed.
When we saw Burgess go over at normall speed it looked a try, the replay showed Lance dropping off the tackle but Turner having a hand on him, so it was an easy decision for the video ref, the rules say no try. wane and Sadler can dress it up as much as they want but the the match being on Sky picks out this stuff.
One situation that needs to be addressed is the way Wigan attacks the line with dummy runners, its stops a sliding defence coming across, at the moment its inot classed as obstruction but it should be. If every team starts doing it, then the ref will be having a nightmare trying to work out if there is interference in the play.

It's always been a hand on the player even since playing as a 8-9 year old, if someone hit the deck, you just put a hand on their back and the tackle was completed.

Only Wigan fans could complain about one of the more long standing rules in the game.

Nice to see a certain Wigan player using his elbow to good effect again. This time he can't claim the player slipped into his arm.

Just nice to have a bit of niggle back between these games from the coaches right down to the players, it was completely bland under Potter and the early start to Brown but now he seems to be fighting back.

Good on yer Browny!

Yes Browny has gone up a few notches in my eyes, he's gone into Wanes World of Wugby and reduced Wane to a stutter and exposed the weakness that deep down inside that Wane can't accept a loss, a very bad loser.

Seriously though, 'the Ape' still has Saints' number, comfortably. He's just thrown a little hook in the water to bring Mrs Brown out of hibernation and it's worked a treat. Brown may have won this round on points but there's a knockout blow coming in October

Wane is probably still sat at home thinking about it.

I hope so, and it makes him lose focus on the rest of the season
