95% of the time I'd run it. Wigan lost a couple of games lst year on the back of being negative.

In all honesty the 5% of times I'd go for 2 would be in situations like Wire found themselves in on Friday night. The scores tied up with around 15 minutes to go is a situation calling for the 2 IMO.

I'd have run ours before half time though.

In Tony, we trust.:



If Wigan had run it instead of taking the two, I reckon they would have gone over. I thought it showed their lack of belief and I was relieved.

Games are also lost from penalties
my friend who went to the game with me said "we would have won of we taken the 2". As I mentioned to him and many other since, this is not true. If we kicked the penalty we would have had the ball back, we coudld have then dropped the ball on the kick off and they could of then got a try.

Basically, if we kicked for a penalty and got it then everything after it would have a been a completly different outcome...we could have won / lost / drawn

These close finishes really attract the punter to the game, so why not change the conversion law to give the option to the side scoring a try whether they take time off the clock to do this. I have been to many games where one side is winning by 10 points with 2 mins to go and the game as gone because the clock will be run down. If there are 12 tries in a game, 12 minutes is taken away from the game to watch a bloody kick. On the opposite side of the coin if a side winning by 4 points score a try in 78 minutes then they can allow the clock to run its course, as a reward of scoring a try. What do you think??? I agree in those conditions to get ahead on the scoreboard.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



Wigans decision to take the two was right on half time, so I would say that was the correct decision, and I guess most teams would have done the same.

If we start taking the two constantly then I can see the game turning into union. Boring, with a try almost unheard of.

Didn't Leeds take two against us in the CC final when our backs were against the wall? Not long after it started bombing it down?

I think they did. Was it when Briers was alleged to have obstructed Hall?

TBF the game was already won and Catalans had beat themselves, it was just a way of taking the time to calm things down and guarantee possession.
The difference being they needed to score and convert twice and were not drawing 10-10

I remember that's what the intelligent Joel Tomkins did against Hull the other resulting with a red card, stupid play from a thick player
