I think that was just an incorrect call from the referee. I thought he'd lost it already if I'm thinking about the right one, but it's easy to see why he gave what he did.

Atkinson one was a knock on you can tell by his reaction. The replays confirm it the ball looked knocked down and so many hands in there. Hard to tell who touched it . I think the carrier needs to controle the ball in those situations, defenders are going to get hands on the ball to stop it being grounded.
Lockers one looked like Clarke flicks his hand at the ball, it didn't lead to a try though they kicked 2 points off it.

No it didn't it led to a 2 point penalty goal.

Edit; whoops just read the post above mine

Why has nobody mentioned the fact that in the knock on before the Atkins no try, that Gelling picks the ball up in a clearly offside position, but Thicks gives nothing.

Fully aware that we could've had a try, but we also could've had a penalty in front of the posts and an 8-2 lead and the ball back not 30 seconds after the no try 6-6

Yes, we did in 2005 losing to Hull FC in Cardiff and The Bulls at OT. Dreadful memories but you have to go through tough times to enjoy the good ones.
Cheer up everyone, roll on February!!

Wow, I'm seriously impressed by your one-sided bitterness.

No it wasn't you need to learn the rules before you post!

Nope, should have been a try... or a knock on against Sarginson at the very least who intentionally knocked the ball out.

Ok you are one of the small minority who think so.

Gelling was in front of charnley when charnley touched the ball, but when Gelling actually picked up the ball he'd made it back behind charnley so he wasn't offside, something very similar happened in a game against cas earlier in the season and stuart cunningham explained the rule at length, so i've no problem with that one.


In all honesty I though Hicks had a good game, which isn't something I expected when he was first announced.

Which one? Do you want to phone a friend?

I suppose ,after last weeks outcry from fans of another club & the sky commentators, that the Atkins effort would have been well scrutinised as was the Hull try last week against Wigan.
Incidentally,i did notice an unnoticed offside by Wigan, but overall Wigan did the right things to win for the full 80 minutes & in my opinion deserved to win.

As regards the whole play off system, i don't like the idea. Whether they are instructed to do so i don't know, but the rules that matter seem to go out of the window as regards the referees & we can easily finish up with a game that is more brutal than it needs to be & possibly because of that loses much of its skill factor. The rules are supposed to be there to help with providing fast, open games so why spoil the so called showpiece end of the season by tearing up the rule book.

How long have you guys got Sims for..?. Looked a proper show pony last night.

Not sure how we won to be honest, had you as favourites before the game... Hope you get better luck next year..

Lol...no you don't but thanks anyway.
