the ref did as well!

even the most cherry and white tinted speccy wearing wiganer can surely not think that this is true, it was blatantly forward, just look to maguires reaction after it and the sly grin that followed (this made me laugh).

It was a forward pass,after the try the sky coverage showed Maguire and Wane and Maguire can be clearly seen to say forward with a grin on his face

Read it in the papers, as Slaphead is fond of saying (when it's not Wigan).

People clearly havent seen the game against saints where meli equalised of a forward pass at cardiff. As I said on the VT swings and roundabouts.

This was while you were being TOLD on SKY what Hemmings and Stevenson thinks they said, you mean ?

You shouldn't let the 'mass media' think for you.

Just watch again the clip after the try,Maguire says " forward " to Shaun Wane,Wane replies " do you think so ? ",Maguire says "yeah " then nods with a huge grin on his face.The mass media didnt need to tell us what we thought,it was plain for almost everyone to see.

Anyway enough on that,it was a cracking game with some talented young English players on both sides,i think we can all agree on that point

Stevo is bang on, you cannot playthe ball with your head whether it be accidental or intentional. decision knock on, scrum.

See section 10 of the 'rules of the game'

well done Silverwood

Surely the ball hit him in the face. Is that really classed as playing the ball with your head?

He didnt play the ball...so he was incorrect..the ball hit him.

I saw that. Definite chicken wing.

charnleys 1st try was forward... but nowhere near as forward as meli's try at millenium magic

stevo says if he gives this it's a disgrace . what a bleedin clown this guy is

The pass was as forward as Katie Price on her 8th botle of blue WKD.

but What you have now is Eddie and Clarke in a petty battle.

Clarke is pro Wigan and now has his own catch phrase "D'you Know Eddie Wigan are the best team in the competition at...etc etc" and Eddie loves it when he is proved completetly wrong

one example was the "D'you know Eddie Wigan are the best team in the league at scoring from drop outs" When Wigan lost possession on the first or second Tackle and Saints raced up field you could imagine Eddie was flicking the V's at Clarkey while trying to contain himself but gleefully proving clarke wrong with "they wont score from this drop out.."

as a Wire fan its funny, but to be fair i'm not that fussed on any of them. Stevo in particular is a complete joke. The Hull derby commentary team of Bill Arthur, Barrie Mac and Terry O were much better.

and special mention to Brian Carney who is the best of the lot of em.
