They were both world class passes from O'Loughlin (which ALWAYS get called forward by the opposition fans, ALWAYS. even though they are not. put it this way, if westerman or washbrook had made those passes you lot would be creaming yourselves)

A typical intelligent response. Why did I expect anything else! Even one of your own fans has admitted at least one was.

Well to be honest at the time I didnt think either was, and its impossible to tell from the replays anyway so what do you expect me to say?

I shouted straightaway that he'd bounced the ball over the line and the video pictures prove this.



There was also for me a big doubt over the 2nd try. Did Briscoe get the ball down beofre any part of his body or the the ball touched the white dead in goal line? Tommy certainly claimed it was no try. The problem seemed to be there was a lot of sand around the line and it didn't look very distinct. ganson blew for both tries very quickly - it does make you wonder what use these in goal judges and even touch judges are.



I'm certain if there had been a video ref at least one of the tries would have been disallowed. Having said that, both of Lockers's passes to Charnley were marginally forward ( Steveo/Eddie would have been arguing about the momentum rule!)



It doesn't surprise me that Ganson immediately gave the 2 Hull tries - he seemed desperate to get them some form of result, hence his reluctance to clamp down on the persistent foul play of a couple of Hull players. He even tried to get them a draw at the end. What was the final penalty for? From Ganson's actions it seemed as though there had been some form of obstruction or a Hull player was taken out/pushed off the ball. It must be really hurting this Saints member that they are struggling so much....!



The bottom line is through Ganson's inept handling of a series of incidents a couple of Wigan's better players may miss some vital games. If he'd sinbinned when he should have done, neither Sam nor Joel would have done what they did. Similarites with Huddersfield last year when Fielden ended up being banned for defending himself aginst the blatant foul play of Mason and co.

Fair enough, Westermans was a stone waller aswell.

oh so it definitely was then, seeing as one of our fans admitted it.



you lost, you're not the best team in Hull, good luck trying to make the top 8

Who admitted that one of O'Loughlin's passes for a try was forward?

Try ? more like a slam dunk ... i was at top of the south and saw him drop it.

Indeed. Typical "Mister Magoo" RFL officials.



Most Touchjudges and In Goal Ref's these days are about as much use as a button on a sock.

Momentum rule

I agree: there was definitely a lot of forward momentum on the ball on both those passes to Charnley. Similar to the forward momentum the ball had after Tommy stripped it out of Westerman's hands before he claimed a touch down.

Briscoe's looked ok, but I would love to see how close he was to the line.



Things like this happen in every game. Some go for you, some don't, but Ganson didn't have his best game. If he'd dealt with the poor discipline earlier, we wouldn't have to go to Hudds with another two players out.
