Will it be a post final downer or we'll show'em we're still here?

[Davo5 4,873]

Wigan to edge it.

 Salford won’t be able to cope with the blinding speed of the returning G.Burgess & Clubb

Clubb is pretty quick... Didnt he make a great cover tackle on SKY last(?) season...?

[Futtocks 15,662]

Powell opens the scoring.

[Rupert Prince 1,598]

Well fair doos to Powell with that one. but lucky to have got away with losing a steal.

[Segovia Carpet 154]

Kendall murdering Salford again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[DavidM 10,212]

Said it before but it’s completely and utterly ridiculous that those are tries . Just no way on earth . If the ground ain’t there they drop it . That’s the clearest knock on in history

& The Viddeo ref too

[Phil 4,118]

In what universe was that a try? 

[Moove 942]

Farce of a try

[bamfordsbeans 384]

Officials have decided its a Wigan win.

[bratman 30]

That's a knock on. Good knows what Phil Clarke and video ref are watching.

Always the same when he refs Wigan

[bromleybulldog 452]

Switched off already. Ref (and video ref) gifting this game to Wigan

[Click 763]

Can someone explain how that is a try? I didn't realise you can try and ground the ball with your hands and end up dropping it and grounding with an elbow instead and still be good !

[WSRD 39]

Terrible by the officials up to now.

[johnh1 908]

Jesus wept. Forward pass. Knock on. Try. Just give Wigan the points and stop the game. Disgraceful.

[Futtocks 15,662]

In one interpretation, he maintained contact with the ball. In another, it came out of his control. I wouldn't have given it, but I can understand why it was awarded without really liking it.

But the Ginger Pearl's try just now is indisputable.

Forward pass, forward pass, drop the ball over the line but you're given a try...

What's the f***ing point?

Give Wigan the points and put summat on we can enjoy.

[Phil 4,118]

After being a ref for 20+ years I’m reluctant to criticise but so far we’ve had a blatant knock on given as a try and a couple of missed forward passes.

Bad show 

[Padge 6,411]

You can all rant all you want according to the Laws of the game it is a try.

 

[Rupert Prince 1,598]

The ball rolled round Powell's elbow. To me  thats a knock on. The Brains Trust say technically it was a try because it was over the try line.

[johnh1 908]

And that try also came from a ball steal by Wigan that was given as a knock on. Unheffing believable.
