| No way am I defending match officials ever again!
No way, slow mo or not was Meli scoring a try.
That is a disgrace to the game that I was brought up with and if Cummings dosn't reprimand and relegate the people involved in that decision then my days of watching SL on the box are over!
An out and out disgrace.

Yes, that was a shocking miss. But then the decision to give a knock-on against Dixon when the ball was pulled out was also a wee bit dubious.
As for Meli's try, I personally don't like this "any touch when the ball is in contact with the ground is a try" approach, and would prefer solid downward pressure. But them's the rules at present : he touched it when it was in contact with the ground = try.
Fantastic game. I thought Wigan had won it when they got their last try - Saints looked completely shot, and when they kicked to Foster, I couldn't hear the commentary for the sound of my heart palpatations. What a game.

| Definitely agree with you . It was a try by the rules but I don't really agree with the rule as he may have but a slight amount of pressure on the ball but I wouldn't say he had control
on it. Good game all the same think we missed o'loughlins attacking option

| It was a fair try. Brilliant try in fact.
If Greg Inglis or Billy Slater scored that try it would be ushered instantly into immortality. To dribble past a prop forward two feet from the line, run round him and ground it like he did was sensational.
I can't believe anyone is questioning the grounding either? The ball is in contact with the floor when he touches the top of it, whats to dispute? The only dubious one for me was Roby's as I've no idea what that touched.

The dispute is that it shouldn't be in the rules, however it is, so your correct it is a try.
In days gone by it wouldn't even have come into consideration, I too agree with the OP about tries being awarded should be downward pressure to a solid extent. A brushed fingernail is ridiculous, however the build upto it and the kick was superb but we can't give tries willy nilly on merit.
Yes Meli's try was the 'difference' in the end, but at least it wasn't the match winning try.

| Being at the game, I'm not sure what was said on TV about (what looked to us) a blatant forward pass in the build up to Roby's try - that was the most contentious moment for me.
I don't mind the fact that it was awarded through benefit of the doubt, but from where I was, they should have been pulled back two tackles earlier for an American football style pass.
They showed a few slo-mos on the big screen afterwards, so I presume Eddie and Stevo will have been debating that one?

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

| Never a try. Not blaming the ref but he was poor, his calls were shocking.

| I wouldn't have given it. But if the rules are that you only have to marginally touch/stroke the ball then so be it. But I'm not sure on the rules on that anymore.

| NO try for me, Saints seemed to get more of the 50/50 decsions but thats Sport for you.
A fantasic game one of the best I have seen in years, great advert for the game.
Well done to both teams.
Would love to see that game as a GF.

| 50/50.
Not sure the video evidence shows that he got downward pressure, but you can't say conclusively that he didn't either. Probably should have been BOD.
