We may have been poor in areas regarding kicking, some discipline and execution. But rules are rules the restart must be taking on the 20m centre spot therefore no try. Also you can see on sky that miller's pass is knocked forward by sarginson onto tupou. Therefore a knock on and no try. Sky TV would have ruled these out on a video review and therefore we win the game. On another note Hampshire is absolutely wasted on the wing.

I was not able to attend the game but listened to it on the radio. I got the impression that Brough as the game went on just reverted to type. I note that two of the tries came from kicks other than by Brough. I guess the coach was a little too quick in his Brough gratification after one game. The evidence suggests he just slipped back into his old ways.
I may be wrong but that is how it sounded, and to make matters worse I cannot view the tries on sky because I am not in the UK.

After all the postings on this thread, who's defending bad refs now ? This keeps happening to us, this is NOT imagination ! Even Chester is not happy, but I suppose certain people will defend him, he made us tap on the right cross on the 20, he let wigan off by 6 meters ? Fact, not fiction, wigan were constantly off side by a meter or more, northstanders going mad, fact not fiction !
However, he is not the cause of us losing overall, but he did well compound the issue & result, this is not saints & roundabouts, it's all one way, we don't win matches with dubious calls by the referee.
Onwards & upwards, if they will let us !

a) Two Referees is a must next season (if we have enough Officials)
b) We need a Sky Video Cam/Ref at every match in order to have consistency.

Ah!, but Mr Ganson says that we MUST respect and accept the referees, even when one of our players gets smacked in the face and the penalty is given against us.
Some better attack and good defence from us in the second half, but the Wigans, Saints and Leeds' of this world will always get the rub of the green from referees. Sorry Mr Ganson, but I have little, or no respect for your associates.

Well just had a good look at the trys.

1. First Wigan try looks an obvious double knock on. Blame the ref but also the touch judge.

2. Tap 20 try he was way off the mark. Tangata was clearly pointing that out to ref . However they say play to the whistle and if we had done that we may have made the takle. Having said that it was an howler by the ref in the first instance.

3. BJB try looked a bit dodgy. Video ref may have over ruled that one.

4. Last try, he pushed his own player to the side to score. Forgot the game but in the last two weeks I have seen a try disallowed because the scoring player just brushed his own player with an elbow (was it in the final ?)

Re: Referee for wigan game. : Sun Sep 01, 2019 6:28 pm  

We still had enough time on they're line to score two or three tries extra but we didn't know how to. Next year we do need a shake up of staff

Re: Referee for wigan game. : Sun Sep 01, 2019 6:38 pm  

That last try was a double movement. 100s saw it and officials missed it. Ball carrying arm hit floor and he raised and put it over. 3 x try’s and 18 points. Even taking 4 points for bishop off it’s 14 points swing and a win that could and should have been.

I'd add to that Millers try for us came from a forward pass in the build up from Tanginoa. The refereeing for both sides was shocking.

BUT that is not the reason we lost, we managed that all by ourselves.

Agree with the last two postings, BUT, don't forget our Mr Ganson, you cannot call into question the referee, therefore, he is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, Right, ! Our problem is we Never benefit from such instances !
