Funnily enough after watching it on sky as well, I'd tend to agree with your original point.

We wuz ROBBED !!!

I wouldnt like you to measure me up for a carpet

I'd be more annoyed at the Arundel try that clearly wasn't grounded!! The Wigan players had a set to defend after the error by the touch judge, it didn't directly lead to Cas scoring points unlike the Arundel try.

It was the same bloke who incorrectly said a Leeds player was in touch last week. Today's was a shocking decision, it wasn't even close. Think he'll be Touch Judging in Super League next week? Of course he will - there is absolutely no accountability for any of the match officials.

Having said that, I don't think that Wigan were robbed. They got the rub of all the 50/50s in the first half and, for once, were on the good side of one of the most frustratingly inconsistent refs in SL. Just watched the Diskin interview at the end of the Bratfut-Sts game. He's spot on about the officials having too much influence in games.

It wasn't a metre as some of your fans are suggesting, hell the gap between the fence and the whitewash probably isn't even a metre.

I think four inches is a fair assessment.

i'm sure he tapped it before he kicked it aswell --- therefore wigan scrum

Two horrendous decisions by the touchjudge.
1st Cas try after half time Goulding and Richards held the player up (Arundell?) then the kick by chase was out on the full by at least a foot.

+1

I couldn't believe it.

I don't know whether he doesn't know the rules or he actually somehow thought it was in the field of play.

Either way, if it's ever shown on television he'll be hiding behind a cushion and so will Stuart Cummins.

If that was out by 4 inches I am well chuffed

1 meter at least, how could he not see that, very strange.

true, but if we'd not bombed so many chances the decisions wouldn't have mattered.

It won't be. Will have been directly underneath where the only camera (Micron) will have been on the gantry so would be amazed if it got picked up. Mr Touch Judge can probably breathe easy.

Would quite like to get the DVD of that game though, one of the most eventful I've been to in years. Especially for Dixon's "worm burner" conversion attempt - worse than Connolly at Central Park!

One of the worst decisions I have seen for a long time and no excuse for the touch-judge to get it wrong. It very clearly bounced well over the line and no Wigan player came near to touching it.
However, remember that these decisions are 'swings and roundabouts' - we got an awful one last week when our player was judged to have gone into touch despite being clearly in the field of play.
Bad decision, but not the only one lately.

We've had many a shocker this year, that no doubt went our way.


I agree with your coach, ultimately you lot were very lucky to get anything from the game. Not a bad result for you lot with other sides slipping up.

Very strange game today, the richards drop, chase kick, mathers howler / subbed then the hero.


P/s pity you lot didn't bring as many as you have generally been bringing this year!

Not good enough from Wigan. Why the eck was Amos playing????. This is starting to feel a bit Noblesk. Pick your established out of form, not interested highly paid overseas star in front of anything you've got in the Academy.

We brought as many as we usually do, we were just all in the cas end away from the rain!

What did Roberts do wrong today?

Absolutely nothing. Had a decent solid game, exactly as the conditions required.

2 wigan fans were baffled as to why Bentham hadn't bothered going to the screen......now THAT is bonkers

He was the touchjudge who wrongly deemed that Thompson was in touch in our last game against Hudds on SKY so he rightly evened it up this week

To be honest it was the one call all game we got!

And Arundel clear as day grounded that ball granted it would be difficult for Wigan fans to see but being stood right infront of it the ball definitely touched terra firma for a split second (even Bentham saw it

)

Yes, yes it was. I saw it with my own eyes! (AS DID BENTHAM



) whether you choose to believe me is up to you.

You are Stevo and I claim my £5.00

Haha, I thought I'd use that phrase just for effect



Apologies, I mean it touched the ground albeit only for a split second!
