Scrum being formed 4 secs left 10 metres from hkr line. Ref raises his arms 2 stop the clock and time keeper sounds the hooter.

A drop goal was nailed on. with Wire put in.

Best game I've seen for ages and I think the win went the right way. Warrington wanted it more when it mattered.

Couple of interesting ref's calls in the game. That one with the timekeeper (ref said: timekeeper kepps time, even though I called time off, if the hooter sounds its game over). Technically correct, but against the spirit... ref should have played the scrum and the next play.

The other one was the kick to in-goal knocked back by a Warry player and then caught on the full by Briers... ref gave 'defusing a bomb - 20m tap', but this must be wrong.. as a player touched the ball, it's NOT caught on the full... if it had been knocked forward it would be a knock-on, or if an in-field kick everyone is played on side, or a drop goal attempt it would be ruled out. As soon as it's touched, its no longer 'on the full'.

i put 2 bets on in the early rounds of the cup,

Wigan
or
Wire to lift the cup

not sure now if it would be a good idea if they played each other in the next round so i have at least 1 team in the final or.........

they don't play against each other and have a possibility of both getting to the final????

yeah, ok, forgot and I'll give you that. But I'm still right about touching a kick from open play. Briers didn't catch it on the full.
