Sun 4th May: SLMW: Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves KO 15:15 (Sky)

I think that's worth a challenge. I don't he was in touch until the Wigan llayer pushed the ball onto the sideline, and by that point the tackle was surely complete.

Surely that's a penalty to Warrington for a second effort to put him over the line? 

It was worth a challenge, but only if we had a warrington player as the camera man.

Those were my thoughts exactly.

There's no way we would have known that,  he stopped short,  roddy would have just assumed he was out

Need to see that potential obstruction again

[Just Browny]

Challenge against Wigan? Why bother.

[Barry Badrinath]

Obstruction on leyland

[Just Browny]

Nsemba takes out one and then studs another.

Well Nsemba has clearly obstructed Oli there

Exactly.

Kind of embarrassing for the referee to give that as a try on field to be honest. 

One of the clearest you'll see

True. In a tangle of bodies like that even the players involved would be unlikely to know.

That's not how the game works, the ref is part of the furniture, if Thewlis had ran into the post would you be complaining that the post got in his way.

Really?

(e) when play is irregularly affected by the ball or the player carrying the ball coming into contact with the Referee, a Touch Judge, or with any person not taking part in the match or with any object which should not normally be on the playing field

(f) when any irregularity, not provided for in these Laws, occurs and one team unjustifiably gains an advantage

[Damien]

I think that's the right call to disallow  If Ratchford did the same as Leyland for the 1st try that would have been disallowed too.

[Click]

I think Ellis can't complain at that, he has to wrap his arms.

The ball carrier didn't contact the referee, the defender did

[Just Browny]

Kendall apologising to Ellis now.

[Barry Badrinath]

Soft penalty, how often do you see a marker knock the arm like that

Quite often, and it's usually a penalty to be fair 

Silly play by Oli

[graveyard johnny]

the ref is getting far too many mentions in this match thread - thats gonna make JD angry and like david banner said "please dont make me angry, you wont like me when im angry"

[Barry Badrinath]
