| Obviosuly he knew he was shielding Atkins, but he didn't do anything illegal. He ran in a straight line at a constant pace. If folk are saying what he did was illegal than they're saying he should have stopped running as a support player and moved to allow a player to tackle Atkins.
It wasn't as obvious, but Jefferies did the same thing last week at Wakefield. Its just a bit of gamesmanship. No different to getting up off a player in a tackle as slowly as the ref will allow you.

| Nothing wrong with it other than it being a bit cheeky. On every half break there are players running straight forward (which he was always) looking around, maybe slowing down for a pass etc. What would you put in the rule book? The ref has to deem when a player shouldn't pass it to a player on his shoulder?

| Try. He doesn't alter his run, and Atkins is never getting caught.
You can't rule out tries for that.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Another shocking decision. Riley knows exactly what he is doing, he slows down to obstruct the man.

Agree - and as Eddie said not in the spirit of the game.

| Probably rubbish but i am sure you can be penalised for anything that is seen as against the true spirit of the game.

| If players were penalised for doing things that were against the spirit of the game, matches between the 'top' clubs would end up with half a dozen players on the pitch; that's just more of Eddie's stuff and nonsense.
Riley ran in a straight line at a constant pace; he was not obliged to move aside to let someone tackle Atkins. Jeffries did the identical thing against us last week - I don't remember any outcry about that.

| Riley did nothing wrong and was entitled to carry on running in that direction. If people think that was an obstruction then they don't know the rules of Rugby league.

| Anyone who thinks that try should have been disallowed is either incredibly stupid or Eddie Hemmings.

| Lol. Slowing down not in the spirit of the game ?. It's ducking hilarious. We will have a Phil Clarke Speedo meter next. So many stupid people.
