Quote: The Ghost of '99 "The Monday review session of the referees at Red Hall after the game at the DW agreed that the obstruction try had been incorrectly disallowed. The split was 2-1, Bentham thought it was a try, Silverwood had given no and the second video ref, I think this was Ian Smith, said no try. Ian Smith's call was incorrect and he was dropped as video ref for the subsequent week.
The difference is that Leeds didn't go on about this the following week, they let it go. If the head coach of a club is still complaining about decisions five days later despite his team losing by more than two scores (and it was only that close because Leeds let up in the final 20) then he is failing to focus on the really important matters at hand. So yes I think, to say the least, he is rattled.'"
Mr Wane wants to keep his trap shut (I think that is the correct terminology), what is wrong is you can get a very important game over judged by the video ref which can include errors.
But what makes the sport look amateurish is because a fair percentage of SL matches are not televised, this is why I come back to my statement regarding keeping his trap shut. If the match a few weeks ago at home against Salford had been on TV I am pretty convinced that at least one of the late Wigan tries that won the match would have been chalked off.
