At no point did the Hull tackler wrench the ball away, he clamped the ball and the action of Clubb turning brought the ball free. No try.

Clubb has a responsibility to keep hold of the ball, he's reaching over and there is what we see in games every weekend a bit of pressure on the ball. it's not a strip/reef, Clubb loses control, in real time that's never given in any league game on any part of the pitch.

SOL makes NO effort whatsoever to duck or move out the way, penalty is the correct decision as he's deliberately impeding play in an offside position.
if you're going to be picky then a strike to the head of Mark Syned by a Wigan player which cuts his head should have being a yellow, then two sin bins missed by the officials against Wigan for a swinging arm and a crusher tackle. Then the obvious stepping on the whitewash that the in goal official didn't bother looking at that gave Wigan field position.
it's all swings and roundabouts, get over it, we won and were by far the better team. Credit to Wigan for a great defensive effort.

Best team won especially from the majority of the second half, Wigan were living off scraps and gave it a go in the last 10 mins. Kicking game was more consistent from Hull, where Wigan got a lucky bounce for their first try. Really tough arm wrestle of a final that, it was never going to be an open game, well done to Hull had a tougher route to the final so the win was well earned.

Carlos did what he had to do in that situation and cover the ball. Not once did he pull at it. Clubb's attempt to pull his arm free to ground it is what cause the ball to come loose. Should have more control in that situation.

Was @ the game they announced 68k. Definitely was more empty then any time I been before.

How much did Euston train station being closed play a part? I don't blame Wigan fans not traveling if no trains.

Off topic but why is half time entertainment @ rugby league events so poor. The RFL really do go through cheapest way possible.

We've got that trophy going straight back in the cabinet though

That's how I saw it. Harsh call but probably the right one. Marshall also put his for on the dead ball line ref missed that should have been a Wigan drop out. Don't think anyone could deny hull that, they were best side

Wigan fans are used to finals so they say so don't bother attending. Yaaaawn. No reasons for that effort today.

Probably because there wasn't any in-goal official.

FC had most of the 50/50 calls go their way especially in the second half. That stated, though it pains me as a Rovers supporter, they deserved the win, they were all over Wigan and the pies did well to keep it close.

BTW I though Houghton milking the penalty in the first half with the Wigan player in the way of the PTB had been stamped on earlier this season?
