Jesus what a game, a game that the NRL would have been proud of.

My only gripe being the palava caused by the officials at the end of the game.

I don't think for one minute it was a penalty, I mean how could Donald stop himself connecting with Richards at that speed.

Alibert should have stuck with his original call and the scrum to Leeds on the their own 40m instead of letting James Roby escalate the situation.

Anyhow it was a fair result in the end, with Leeds having too much go forward in the second half, helped by Wigan errors.

I fancy Hull KR to beat them on Friday too because Wigan now only have a four day turnaround.

RUGBY LEAGUE THE GREATEST GAME!!!!!

I knew Saints would get the blame somehow

I think you mean Tim Roby.

It was a late tackle. No two ways about it.

Maybe when Sky slowed the replay down, yes.

But at normal speed he was committed and couldn't change his run or stop.

Bad call from the officials IMO.

Thank God it didn't change the result.

50/50 call for me although it was a pen for mcguire pulling back earlier. great game though

Please explain by what means Donald could have broken several laws of physics to stop himself mid-air after Richards kicked the ball? It was a perfectly fair attempt and did not deserve a penalty. Maguire should have been penalised for holding back Carmont, ten yards further back.

Nothing wrong with the tackle on Richards , however if McGuire hadn't tackled Carmont off the ball , he might have had another option than to kick it , also Donald might well not have attempted the tackle if Richards had another option inside him

Blatant cheating

Now I do agree with you on that.

But Richards wouldn't have gone for the two from out there (some 65m).

So it would have been a kick to touch and a chance to level the game up at 27-27 through a drop-goal from around 30m out.

Maybe not putting his arms around Richards waist.

Cheers for that.

In all the excitement I forgot just what happens now.

Massive loss for Wigan now who'll have to win away from the DW stadium to be sure of a place at the Grand Final on October 2nd.

Maybe that might not be a bad thing after-all.

Bit of a poor rule that. Why have we just played 27 league games?

Not a chance, it was never a late tackle. Even Phil Clarke said it wasn't.
