Phil Bentham should be given the freedom of the tewn after the penalty that Leeds should have got but went to Wigan. What a gamebreaker. SAM TOMKINS watch the game and your conduct and then wonder why everyone hates you. you are a house end of.

Well played wigan, best team on the day

agreed...why is it such a mystery to that little pr!ck that he is hated.

Wigan were the better team, they shouldn't have needed the appalling calls from the officials to get them the win.

Can't agree with that. Leeds were the better side from 20mins into the game. Wigan won by default i.e. 2 tries given that should never have been due to the inept officials.

nail on head

Wire will crack one off over these next week

When Jones-Bishop put that kick across when he got the break and it came off McGuire, I got a little confused with the rules. Tomkins originally touched the ball, now, if the ball somehow ended up behind Tomkins - who was running backwards - and came off McGuire, isn't that a knock on? I dunno, maybe the ball didn't actually go 'forwards' and all that happened was Tomkins outran the ball and somehow passed it? Beats me.

Despite all the strange decisions, 2 finger salutes etc etc, it was a cracking game. My congrats go to Wigan, commiserations to Leeds.

Leeds dominated the last 50 minutes and got 3 bad calls.

The only refereeing calls I have a problem with today are the decision that it went out off Burrow, which was frankly bizarre given the view the touch judge had of it and the ref ignoring the attempted spear tackle.

Yes it should have been. Players can live with that, just one of them things. The touch judge call when it came off for Leu Lai's try, even if it did come off Burrows, he didn't play for it. Awful.

In the Semi-Final every time Wigan asked the ref to go the the screen he did. Leeds (correctly) asked the ref to check this decision on the screen and didn't!

Did you not have a problem with the forward pass for Lima's second try?

I think if you achually look at the game with a clear head you'll see leeds wer in the game for 20 minutes and thats being generous.The only surprise is Wigan wern't out of sight in the first half.

Classic Wigan.

Nah, the kind of thing that a referee can be excused for missing. I didn't even notice it until the replay.

It's funny how everyone is getting their knickers in a twist about sam and nothing mentioned about the behaviour of some of the leeds players at the end of the game when the whistle went. Yet again it shows how easily people onle see what they want to.

Must admit I'd turned it off by that point. What did they do?

It's not a 'Tomkins is good, we're all jealous, let's hate on Tomkins' issue and I wish people would stop trying to make out that it is everytime he showers himself in shame.

The classic Leeds thing of when losing, start a fight.

I thought Wigan absolutely dominated the opening 35 minutes with Leeds getting the better of us in the final five. The first twenty of the second half were even stevens IMO, with the final twenty just being edged by Leeds.

But the ability of Wigan to hang in there and grind out results, is there for all to see. Even when on the ropes and looking knackered were able to cling on for victory.

This is after the classic Wigan thing of flopping on a player when he’s tackled. Totally uncalled for.

The conduct post-hooter was poor. Almost always, however bad the calls, the two teams shake hands at the end of the game then one team whoop and holler and the other cry in their beer.

The handbags at full time did neither team, nor a fantastic game, justice.

Wigan are back - success breads jealousy

CLASSIC WIGAN.

It pains me as a Leyther to say it but Wigan were the best team , granted some of the refs decision were bollox and the game got a bit scrappy at times . And as for Sam Tomkins and his gesture , he showed them one more finger than I would have , so I say " Get in there young lad and show them boo boy pillocks you don't give a f@k " .

And as for laying on your talking out your ar$e !! , I watch a lot of the NRL and every tackle they take the full quota allowed , while our teams are tackled and up and playing it in half the time , so watch out how lying on is done legally every time on fleece the Northern folk Bonfire night scam .

It's enough to make you spit in your Lobby praising the pies
