Disagree they raised the issue of Richards calling for the fourth official when in truth on the replay Ganson was always going for it, once again admitted by the due after the replay but with less of an emphasis that they were in fact wrong., and regardless the call was right. The lad was offside he broke the rules, so not sure what stance you are trying to take?



Claiming Wigan cheated but trying to justify a try was chalked off, that was against the rules.



Don't blame the refs, Richards or anyone else. Blame the left winger for Les Cats for coming up with such a poor idiotic play. Still easier I guess to slag the evil Wigan club.

Take the blinkers off for gods sake

SG was about to award the try until Richards came over whingeing footballer-esque telling SG to refer it.

Agree with Rumour 13's post, which is why most neutrals will be supporting Saints next week.

Whoosh...@JonH

Watch every try scored when the Sky team are there they call for the video ref, every time. Because Eddie states that Richards changes the mind of a St Helens supporting ref against Wigan is laughable. Watch the replay, even Eddie admits he got it wrong.



The fact remains though that the player was offside and it was correctly not allowed so not sure what point you are trying to make. The decision was correct no try offside.



If you think the game swung on those decisions (that and the line ball) you are disillusioned.

So if i have blinkers on, you are claiming it was a try?



I can only assume you attempting to justify a "try" that blatantly broke the laws of the game and was correctly judged no try and yet calling me blinkered is in some way ironic.

There is no whoosh - he's doing it on purpose.



It actually amuses me that Wigan fans refuse to accept that the universal dislike of their style of play by the majority of neutral fans, not to mention the condemnation of many well-respected coaches, is all based on jealousy.



If that's the case, where are the outpourings of hatred when other teams get flogged by Warrington or Saints?

I totally understand why people do not like Wigan, we play a very hard on the edge game and play it well.



I put my hand up the Pia try could well have gone for Les Cats but the offside was clearly offside it did not need to be, it was poor play by the winger but that is not Wigans fault.



I say again i do not see the hysteria when Tomkins and Locky were attacked on the floor to the face on several occasions?



As for the line of Wigan being respected in the glory years, you have very short memories.

Don't forget about some players recieving the boot in the face from Wigan (Coley)

Most of the adult public who watch the games are of the Wigan glory generation, once again I say those who claim Wigan were not slated in this period much more than they are now have very short memories, and much is the residue of that. Hence the glee when Wigan were getting smashed by 70 points not too long ago by most fans.



The fact is the Pia try could have gone either way, I am happy to say it probably should have been a try. Did the result swing on that......no. The offside try was poor play by the Cats winger he did not need to be offside but he was, he put himself in a stupid position for no reason and cost his team a try.How that is Wigans fault I have no idea.



I currently find it very it very interesting to not read the outcry about breaches of the Salary cap by paying players outside of the cap by nearly every club other than Wigan with this image rights situation. Wigan breach the spirit of the cap at the same time as most other clubs are robbing the government and cheating the cap (Hull just settled for over £1million payment half of what they apparently owed) yet Wigan are evil.



Once again though it is clearly me that is blinkered.

Coley kicked out agreed, the lad was hanging onto his leg but it was excessive fair play.



The Cats player put himself in that position by grabbing his leg trying to slow the PTB down though, but I agree could have been a penalty. Potentially either way.



Tomkins and Locky also clearly put their heads in the position on their back to take elbows from the French team.

The reason i cant stand wigan is because they cheat - in every aspect from tompkins and his football style theatrics throwing himself to the ground at every opportunuty, thier belief that they can (and unfortunatly often succeed in) intimidating officials, but most of all THEIR CONTINUED BREACH OF THE SALARY CAP RULE YEAR AFTER YEAR - no ethics at all - cheat to win.
