The pass was at least 2 yards forward. Can see from the grass line on the pitch. But I've seen em given.

Even Daryl Powell said it was forward.

Deary me, clearly a forward pass.

I'd be spewing if it was a forward pass against us...not because it wasn't forward, but because of how many of those are not given (I would say 95%). They used to call it the momentum rule if I remember correctly. Union VR have it right as they're allowed to judge on forward passes, unlike ours. Would have been given a no try in Union too on review.

Believe it or not there are posters ont he Wire forum stating that it ISNT a forward pass

Apparently because Mata'utia finishes in front of where the ball is caught. No mention of the number of steps he took to get there, where the ball was thrown from and caught or the angle it came out of his hands. To be fair if he'd carried on running for another 30 mins he could have stood on a housing estate in Platt Bridge and the pass would have been miles backwards!

Not quite sure they've understood the momentum rule over in Warrington.

It was forward but iv seen worse not given, the actual route it travels doesn’t mean too much with momentum but it comes forward out of his hands imo.

Should have gone to Specsavers.

It was forward but I’ve seen them given and had it been, it would’ve been a travesty. After watching the game back, I’d hadn’t realised how dominant we were throughout. I think that sinking feeling you get with 12 men tricked me in to thinking we’d not been reasonably comfortable all day.

Yeah it looks better on replay, doesn't it? What was clear was that we were a team with a plan after the red card, and Wire had no composure and no plan.
