There was a similar incident down the wigan end of the stadium. One of our players tried playing ball with a leeds chump hanging allover him yet the ref gave a penalty to leeds which led to leeds scoring a try. You cant have it both ways

I can't believe any of my fellow Wigan fans are attempting to deal with this issue as if it's real.

We suffer a season of shocking refereeing decisions, including seeing a player suspended for the World Club Challenge on the say-so of a vindictiive opposite number, and a try disallowed in the Challenge Cup semi by the Chairman of the St Helens supporters Club. We have egg-headed prats calling for players to get 12-match bans when they've done nothing wrong, and the chairman of another SL club arranging private meetings with the RFL to "discuss our tactics" ... and then this bunch of pathetic little whingers have the nerve to come on here whimpering about a couple of 50-50 calls in the final.

Treat them with the contempt they deseve. Ignore them and let them stew on here in their own juice until one of the mods gets back from Wembley and locks this thread.

Come on mate. If there was a penalty every time a defender makes contact with a player at the PTB we would have 200 penalties a match. It's only when the defender is forcibly interrupting the PTB that a penalty is given. That was not the case with Carl Abblett. He was trying to get a quick PTB, and fair game to him, succeeded in getting an illegal one because he hadn't stood up. It happens all the time in our game.

Bringing up insignificant things like this to try to prove that the best side lost is clutching at straws. They didn't.

Simple, was it a penalty or not not that it matters you won.

This thread brings a big smile to my face this morning, i feel very proud of our teams achievement thank you very much!

Pure and Simple....

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!!!!!

He couldn't lift the cup and had to get the player next to him to help. He does seem to have problems with his shoulders.
