Told you on Tuesday... It's all the ref's fault.


We outplayed and overpowered Cas in all aspects of the game. There are no talking points here i am afraid. We won, we deserved to win but as usual because we are Wigan and jealousy is rife we shouldn't have won because of this or that.

Best team won and best team will win the final and good luck to whoever it may be i say. If Cas had of beaten us today i would probably slate decisions by certain players and the coach and congratulate the opposition but some fans just love to hate Wigan because we are the benchmark of success (although Leeds have had a bloody good go in the last 10 years) i would say that Leeds have achieved more but Grand Final's have only been around for 20 odd years so we can't really count that on past history because we would have won a pon full

Also, suffolk tiger has posted a good message on the cas forum named 'despite everything'.... Somebody who hasn't just come up for the day and judged us but he went to Sam's bar in scholes, that's a tough audition of Wiganers, and still enjoyed his weekend. If you are reading this suffolktiger, fair play to you mon but may i suggest a better drinking hovel next time

Owned.

Not for the first time in his life, I suspect.

Not a try for me but at least it has given the cas lot something to moan about and more ammo for their conspiracy theories

At least the Cas fans had fun in the 2nd half by playing games whilst the game in flow.

I wasn't very clear there. The second paragraph is what I think the rule should be.

As I said on the VT, you'd have to say from the way the ball moves that he did touch this. https://youtu.be/fAwgo_XlbHk

I think that all of us from outside the promised land should stop our foodbank subscription to feed the wigginers

Yeah I can, can you?

Under the rule it was a try because the ref gave a try on field but then there wasn't sufficient evidence to over turn it in the eyes of the VR. However in my view there wasn't sufficient evidence that it was a try. I immediately said no try and having watched it several times I haven't changed my view. If the on-field ref had given no try then there is no way that the VR would have given it. I will still unashamedly take it given that the first Cas try was from a clear forward pass. However I do wonder if the rule needs tweaking. I understand why it was changed but in some cases maybe the ref can call a 'don't know' try and hand it to the VR for a decision one way or the other. I know it is difficult because we would have to guard against the on field ref. Using it too often. Maybe he can only use it once in a game? Or maybe each team's captain can have one challenge call per game which would force a VR decision?

Very good idea

But isn't that why the ref sends it up to the VR in the first place?
