That Wigan were well back in it after scoring one try suggests a close game, as well as the fact they had time to get back in it.

The way they lost that had echos of Hudds losing to Leeds last year to Hall's last second try and they went on to get rolled over by Wigan in the playoffs........although Hudds rolled over every year in the playoffs I suppose.

Do you mean Tierney's actual finger?

Was he held at gunpoint whilst his offending finger was amputated by irate Wire fans?

It did look a dodgy call, but surely in this day & age, the images should be of a better quality.

Got to agree about the images.


There's also an argument that Thaler did Warrington a favour giving the try, it was an obvious shoulder charge and a strong case for a penalty try with the conversion under the sticks not on the touch line.

It should have been a penalty try as it was a clear shoulder charge

If there's one thing that needs to be of better quality these days is CCTV in most shops. Watched Crimewatch this week - horrific.

Just seen that incident. I guess RL will make the national press tomorrow. If it does, then he'll rightly get a very long ban. If the press don't lay in he'll no doubt get a slap on the wrist.

I meant that he should be in prison.

Absolutely awful decision. Brings the video ref into disrepute. You cannot go benefit of the doubt because he was only a little bit in touch and only a fraction before he grounded the ball. The footage showed he was in touch before he grounded the ball and that is all the evidence anyone should ever need.

2016 video technology is a joke and the knee to the head is a 6 match ban

It's time that they stopped this stupid situation by taking the decision away from teh ref and going back to how it was with the VR making the decision

I'd get rid of it completely.
I can accept an on field referee getting a decision wrong.
It's embarrassing when a video referees makes stupid decisions that fly in the face of the evidence in front of them. Unfortunately, it is happening regularly and has been since the VR was introduced.

However, more importantly I think the VR takes detracts from the experience of watching the game. I can't celebrate when my team scores a try for fear it's going to be sent to the VR and ruled out. Likewise,when the opposition score I'm hoping that we are going to 'get out of jail' and the VR will find something to rule it out.
I much prefer the experience of watching games with no VR to interfere.
