It wasn't a metre as some of your fans are suggesting, hell the gap between the fence and the whitewash probably isn't even a metre.

I think four inches is a fair assessment.

i'm sure he tapped it before he kicked it aswell --- therefore wigan scrum

Two horrendous decisions by the touchjudge.
1st Cas try after half time Goulding and Richards held the player up (Arundell?) then the kick by chase was out on the full by at least a foot.

+1

I couldn't believe it.

I don't know whether he doesn't know the rules or he actually somehow thought it was in the field of play.

Either way, if it's ever shown on television he'll be hiding behind a cushion and so will Stuart Cummins.

If that was out by 4 inches I am well chuffed

1 meter at least, how could he not see that, very strange.

true, but if we'd not bombed so many chances the decisions wouldn't have mattered.

It won't be. Will have been directly underneath where the only camera (Micron) will have been on the gantry so would be amazed if it got picked up. Mr Touch Judge can probably breathe easy.

Would quite like to get the DVD of that game though, one of the most eventful I've been to in years. Especially for Dixon's "worm burner" conversion attempt - worse than Connolly at Central Park!

One of the worst decisions I have seen for a long time and no excuse for the touch-judge to get it wrong. It very clearly bounced well over the line and no Wigan player came near to touching it.
However, remember that these decisions are 'swings and roundabouts' - we got an awful one last week when our player was judged to have gone into touch despite being clearly in the field of play.
Bad decision, but not the only one lately.

We've had many a shocker this year, that no doubt went our way.


I agree with your coach, ultimately you lot were very lucky to get anything from the game. Not a bad result for you lot with other sides slipping up.

Very strange game today, the richards drop, chase kick, mathers howler / subbed then the hero.


P/s pity you lot didn't bring as many as you have generally been bringing this year!

Not good enough from Wigan. Why the eck was Amos playing????. This is starting to feel a bit Noblesk. Pick your established out of form, not interested highly paid overseas star in front of anything you've got in the Academy.

We brought as many as we usually do, we were just all in the cas end away from the rain!

What did Roberts do wrong today?

Absolutely nothing. Had a decent solid game, exactly as the conditions required.
