St.Helens have been the best team in SL this season and they did not need the referee’s help tonight to win this game; unfortunately they got it it. Eamon McMannus will not be lodging any complaints after this game.

I don’t think Eamon McMannus will be complaining about this referee!

Excellent!

Wigan Warriors were formed in 1872 as Wigan Football Club, became a limited company in 1921 and traded under that name. So as we have Hull FC should we also have had Wigan FC? Ironically if you Google Wigan Football Club you are given info about Wigan Athletic.

The last two weeks have obviously been extremely disappointing from a Wigan point of view. However, when you consider where they were just a few weeks into the season and fans were looking at the bottom of the table rather than the top, to have finished one win away from the GF can hardly be considered failure. In the last two games they have been beaten by better teams and in addition have looked more like the team that struggled early on in the season. All credit goes to the Salford players and their coach, Ian Watson, for what they have achieved this season; Watson must surely be voted Coach of the Season. Just a comment about the Salford support last night which was outstanding apart from an obscene chant that was totally unnecessary and does not fit with our claim to be a “family game”. I hope you all enjoy next week; St.Helens will rightfully be favourites but as we well know upsets do happen.

Changed your statement then? You don’t sound like a reliable witness.

Something could have happened before or later but not when the try was scored.

He never went near Hastings’ eyes in that incident.

I am a video editor and you can claim your prize!

What happened? Did anybody see it?

This is the play the ball before Inu’s offload. Please explain how Isa is 7 metres offside.

He’s a very, very special player.

St.Helens forward Marty Lees will miss the rest of the season as a result of a perforated bowel suffered against Leeds last month (reported on BBC website). Let’s hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

I have indeed found redemption!

Ok here goes. “You know what? The ref made an error and we capitalised on it.” It may surprise some people that Wigan have actually lost games because the referee made an error. That’s what happens so get on with it. I don’t think Wigan have made it to second place solely through refereeing errors and the same applies to Wakefield being in the position they are in.
