Quote: CM Punk "He'd already stopped play for a Wigan knockon before being overruled by the touch judge.
The obstruction try could have been given by a different video ref as well. Still not happy about letting Ganson being involved.'"
Given the lack of consistency you are right, as that try was exactly the same as the one Warrington were given.
But it was the right decision today as a dummy runner deliberately makes contact with a defender who isn't looking for him. Lomax played it well, putting his arms up and looking round Tomkins as he ran into him, making it obvious he wasn't going for the dummy runner.
Saints were unlucky on the reversed decision for a few reasons. One, it was Childs as touch judge and not one of the anonymous ones that wouldn't raise the flag for anything and secondly the pass that Shenton touched was miles forward in the first place.
