Quote: secondstanza "I understand that Cummings may be talking about the rule but to disallow that would seriously be against the spirit of the game. Both went up for the ball, Percival was stronger in the contest and reaped the reward - simple as.'"
As a Wigan fan I see where you are coming from with this. 2 players competed for a kick and Percival came out on top. If that had been disallowed against my team I would have been furious.
I can see where Cummings is coming from, if you wanted to be pedantic and overly technical you could argue that Tierney caught the ball and it was stolen in the air but for me comment sense says the correct decision was made.
I have to say credit to both teams for offering up a fantastic game of rugby, though dissapointed I'm proud of the effort and performance of my side.
