I don't think O'Loughlin was going full on for a trip, I think he was trying to get his body in between Chase and the ball. Should've been a penalty.
As mentioned Chase didn't drop out properly, I don't know what the rule is, it'd probably be retaken like a 20m tap that isn't performed correctly. Though I'd be happy for it to be a penalty!


Not really, in my opinion. The player "running around" needs to be much further around the player "being run around" than they were. The return pass in a run around is, at least, in the middle of the move, not at the start.


Eastbourne Warrior makes a good point about some decisions that went against Wigan too. The biggest one for me was Smith being taken out over the line. As mentioned a good case for a penalty try.

Lol.

It seems lots of rules don't apply when wearing Cherry & White.

FYI, I wanted, and am very happy with, a Wigan win tonight.

not at all they got the first one spot on, but you can't call obstruction on a run around unless another player has blocked the salford player. Anybody who watches the NRL will see Tigers or the bulldogs do it countless off times.

If you go back to the previous thread regarding obstruction you will my opinion on obstructions be that for or against Wigan.

Do you want to stand by your comment that "catching the ball on the outside shoulder does not apply when the runner has passed the ball."?

The result should be scrubbed from the records and the match replayed. Typical RFL bending over for Wigan.

Another Wigan Sky game, another VT thread on how we get all the luck and decisions.

Standard evening.

same place everyone else has been expected to teleport.

Paranoid much?

Delighted Wigan won...but I can still be objective about specific incidents.

That works both ways too. I don't see many (only 1 actually) fans highlighting the calls that went for Salford. The Penalty try being the best example.

Did Wigan turn up last Sunday?

Correct, it was an attempt at a run around but it wasn't executed properly, when Smith receives the pass he is still a couple of yards to the left of the Wigan player that passed it to him, he then ran, with the ball, around the back of that player. That by the laws of the game is crossing, whether it actually caused an obstruction or not is a different matter. Anyone who thought that was a genuine run around doesn't know what they are talking about.

Hauruki almost crushes another mans skull with his knees ~8 page thread in 6 days.

O'Loughlin makes legitimate challenge for the ball and accidentally takes out a Salford player; 5 page thread within 18 hours.

And they say the VT aren't obsessed with Wigan
