Where's all this supposed pro-Wigan refereeing performance coming from?

Any dubious or even hint of a penalty in Barrow's favour was given through out the afternoon. In fact I'm sure you'll see complaints from Wigan supporters for harsh decisions, particulary in later stages of the game.

I couldn't see the forward pass as it was at the other end of the ground, but Pryce's try was a perfect try. He caught the ball, juggled with it, regathered it and grounded it perfectly. Also, Sam Tomkins had another try chalked off for 'obstruction' which was absolutely baffling.

Either way, the refereeing performance didn't have an effect on the overall out come and it's ashame if Barrow supporters are about to come on here start whinging about the referee as they came across as a sound bunch today.

im not whinging,
as i said, its better than i expected,
your try where you two on 1 ripped it of bell wasnt a try though,
but good luck wigan , im at the jjb on thursday,
good luck

i duno about where you was stood but myself and people were very worried at 24-20 to wigan and when they got that try disallowed i think it could have been curtains to our season and now saints have won i cant see them not making it 4 in a row now we have lost the bulls, leeds and who would have thought salford would go to hull fc and turn them over.

No mate. He dropped it behind the line whilst facing myself and the rest of the supporters.

Unfortunately neither can I

okay mate, didnt get the best of view,
but okay

isnt crossing a penalty anymore?
as he restarted it with a scrum twice

Definatly nowt wrong with Barrows disallowed try, was a cracking pass that was flat at worst, but never mind, think its fair to say everyone had a good day. Bring on Whitehaven on Friday now!

Well it was not enough bending of the back www.wiganwarriors.com/news_full.asp?newsid=4662

Well played Barrow never give up and I just wish we had the same spirit as your lads had today

It wasn't disallowed for a forward pass as such.
The Barrow player knocked the ball forward onto another Barrow player so it was technically a knock on.

But yes we all enjoyed ourselves.

How did Mossop go?
Did he play prop or 2nd row?
Ready to take the step up yet?

He seemed to play prop - went steady, but not the answer to Wigan's forward problems just yet.

When was it last WWF? At least 6 years ago?

somebody needs to tell Noble.......WWF is world wildlife fund.....unless he was touching on eggs in a roundabout way

yes, we make up for skill with effort

Looking round craven park today looks like you could have got at least 2000 more people in side the ground.Its as shame barrow didnt give thier spectaters a half price voucher for the next game if 500 people took the offer up they would ern an extra £3500 approx in this day and age you got to speculate to acculmalate.

ino, that would of been a great idea, think will get 200 returning any way, and all the football (afc ) fans will come along as thier goin down this year,
and exits are the main problem

How good was the half-time entertainment.

Thanks Rogues for clearing this up. It happened just in front of me, I was stood next to two elderly barrow fans who were absolutely gutted. I lipread the liner saying knock on and I couldn't get my own head around it as the ball hadn't hit the deck. It was like a fumble between a couple of players, none of which looked like they had gone forward. But it was facing me, so couldn't really see.

Does anyone remember what was mentioned before the match about the Barrow Chairman, I thought that the number 22 was brought out and introduced as the barrow chairman. Once I read the programme I realised that this wasn't the case, but am baffled as to what the announcer actually said.

Yeah Behind the sticks at the end Wigan defended first half you could have easily got another 1,000 in, loads of room, but the sideline stand was packed and there was no way to dictate where each person had to stand with it being an open ground like Central Park was. Shame. It would have crushed in the corners. The corner at the end I was, was pretty jammed.
