| So many of us can't help thinking the try would have been disallowed if a Wigan player had done exactly the same as McGuire did....! That is the crux of the whole matter.
I find it amazing that apparently the RFL apologised to Wigan and SW after the Headingley game when despite 2 knock-ons by Sinfield both tries were awarded by the VR, Bentham. That there was a case of déjà vu just over a month later with an even more blatant knock-on really sticks in the craw.
Claims that 3 professional referees deemed it not to have been a knock-on and awarded the try do not alter the fact (as already stated) that the vast majority of people with a knowledge of rugby (not just Wigan fans) would have disallowed the try for a blatant knock-on!

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

No, only Wigan fans do that - someone even started YET another thread on Southstander about this board in relation to this thread, without recognising that
1. It's 5 years old.
2. Since it was reopened more Leeds fans have posted on it than Wigan fans.
3. That 53 page James Child thread.

| Blame me - for starting it in 2010 and then starting it again 5 years later!
Everyone is entitled to form his or her own opinion about some of the VR decisions the last 2 months of the season. Some might see there is a common denominator or even several.
I said, though, a couple of pages ago it is time to put it to bed.....!
