On this form they’ll be hanging on to make the five.

But they could win the Cup next week, so lets wait a bit.

Warrington have been superb for a big chunk of the season, but if you're going to have a wobble, this is a pretty bad time of year for it.

It's pretty much been the last 2 months now.

Warrington are awful, and yet apparently they, along with Saints are miles ahead of everyone else?

TBF that got quietly dropped some time ago.

Apart from Bolton

Wire look as disinterested as 'Ull have in some of their  hammerings, could finish likewise, ideal prep, for Wembley!

I’d love for it to be a titanic encounter as I’ll be there next week but can’t see it

[Man of Kent]

Smithies would clothes-line his own granny to stop her going past him. Typical Wigan player 

[Just Browny]

me, some effort.

[Griff9of13]

With a couple of lost possessions in their own half Wigan are trying their best to let wire back into the game.

[dkw]

That's a ridiculous decision, that's blatantly a try. 

[andyscoot]

I'd feel hard done to if that wasn't given to Wigan. Bad luck Patton.

[Dave T]

I'm ok with that one. His arm made a 2nd play, even though he was still moving. He needed to keep his arm still is my understanding.

Was surprised Cummings thought it was ok.

[Just Browny]

There's a guy on the Wire RLFans site who hates Patton and refuses to see it even if he does something good. Hadn't occurred to me it was Thaler.

[Man of Kent]

Harsh but felt Patton promotes the ball there 

[M j M]

Just listen to the reasoning. "The problem we've got is the on field call"; the decision is clear, a try should be given. The on field call should have absolutely no bearing. When will we get rid of this stupid, stupid, deeply flawed system.

[DavidM]

That’s a stone cold try , his momentum took him over . He’d have had to cut his arm off for it not to go over the line

I suppose because Brown is still a massive injury risk and wasnt passed fit at deadline day.

Brown hasn't played and been fit for over 8 months.

More likely that if you play Brown the dispensation wire got at the start of the season would be null and void. Being a top 25 player it would mean most of his wages would be counted on the cap.

I agree. I think there was more of a case for the first one tbh.

The amount of times I've seen that given against Hull tells me that isn't the rule.

Which is fine as we didnt sign anyone else, until we opted for Smith.

Can anyone tell me the difference between that no try for a double movement and the one given in the last second for Saints against Salford to win them the game?

As you allude to, Patton just needed to let physics do its stuff and it would have been a try

I think ultimately it is hard to argue that there wasnt a 2nd movement with the ball carrying arm.

In the first one I think there is a case that he still maintained contact with the ball.

[Man of Kent]

20-0 Wigan. Hardaker penny. 53 gone

One was carried out by Saints. Clue is in your post.
