I don't normally respond to threads like this but am making an exception on this occasion. I have watched the game 3 times now and it was a really good game in terms of viewing but YES the officials did not have their best games. YES - Lee Mossop's pass was forward. It is not uncommon for this to happen as i never expect linesmen to give these. Being a season ticket holder and watching A LOT of rugby league both in UK and Oz there are so many forward passes let go i just accept it. And i would have accepted if Leeds had score from one which they did (marginally but still i feel one was forward - not bothered though, let it go). YES - the ball into touch for the Leuluai try came of Josh and not Burrow so it should not have been Wigan ball. A mistake by the officials. But leading up to (i think) Leeds' second try Carl Ablett didn't play the ball correctly. He put the ball down befre he stood up, rolled it between his legs whilst falling over. If this was interference fair enough penalty Leeds. If not, penalty Wigan for incorrect play the ball. Either way an error was made and the officials missed it/let it go.

Calls went both ways and sometimes that happens. If the shoe was on the other foot, i would accept it. I would be gutted my team lost but i would accept it as there are lots of decisions go on every week for all teams that i think are wrong and there always will be.

Leeds are not a bad team (although Bailey is a complete ar$e!!!) and i think they have some great players and were unlucky not to win on the day. Stats show a very close game with Wigan marginally on top in terms of tackles made, etc.

I must say in my experience yesterday the fans from both teams (and neutrals) were brilliant. Great banter, no trouble (that i saw) and a really enjoyable day out.

Wish football fans would learn something from rugby fans!

Well put. That's how it came across to me.
Davies is always negative, though, and we should not take it too personally. Every time he commentates he emphasises bad defence instead of praising the attack.
The rugby league should complain to the BBC because a great final was made to feel like a damp squib by the aftermatch comments.

SaintsFan is just frightened that a new period of Wigan winning a lot of trophies has started.

Jonathan Davies is just bitter because he lost in the cup final to Wigan (93) and he won hardly anything in domestic RL because of Wigan. A bit like Gary Schofield ( but not quite that bad!)

I prefer Schofield.
