Westerman's Try?

Quote: pondmonster "Charnley’s first try was a definite forward pass IMO. 2nd one was borderline. Westerman had the ball stripped over the line by Tommy. The 2nd Hull try was inconclusive. I watched Boots n All The Tries last night and watched them all of them in slow motion. O’loughlin was about half a yard behind the 10 yard line and Charley caught it about a yard in front. Whether the momentum rule comes into I don’t know (but I don’t really buy that c**p).

Ganson had a poor game, which was a surprise for me as I had thought he had improved recently. 1 try each given that were incorrect. We were lucky when he decided to penalise Hull for holding down, being in the way at the ruck or whatever it was as they had done that all afternoon and he had not penalised them once for it and then he decides to give us one at a critical time and position. Then he very harshly penalises Lima and gives it in the wrong spot to try to give Hull a shot?

Thems the breaks, we didn’t play well, the ref shouldn’t have come into it but he did. We still had enough to win.

The worst outcome of this match if the fact that the media will pick up on our so called technique again. If only other teams coaches would follow our example and keep their opinions to themselves and let their team do the talking on the pitch.

Quote (not word for word but along the lines of) from Barrie McDermott on the above program “Wigan won the title last year on the back of strong defense”. Didn’t we score the most points and play the best rugby? Yes, defense was/is a major factor, but so is/was attack. I assume most teams try to keep the other team from scoring and score more points than them?

He then went on to discuss our ‘controversial’ tackling technique imported from Melbourne. What are the chances that this will get discussed further on Boots n All this week, or perhaps Nathan Brown will mention it either prior to, or after the game on Friday?

And before anyone posts stating that I’m one of those ‘Everyone against Wigan’ posters, just remember that I’m stating facts. (Proven by the fact that I can admit the forward pass.)

Rant over.'"

Finally a good honest, well done sir.

I dont see what everyones problem is with Wigans tactics, if they break the rules they will get punished, nothing to stop other teams doing the same (which I think we did on Sunday)
