Charnley's Tackle
Charnley's Tackle
No, I'm not talking about the photo on twitter - of course I'm talking about the chase-back and challenge on the ball to stop Shaul scoring a certain try at a crucial point of the game.
Hull score that, and I think it's a completely different game. One that we might not have won.
Can't think of many more important tackles than that one, and it was definitely the most memorable moment of the match for me.

Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured. Rugby League players spend 80 minutes pretending they're not.

Not just the tackle but the way he scooped that ball out also, excellent technique

Re: Charnley's Tackle
Don't know about game changer but Charnley started 10 yards behind and not only caught up but forced the ball free, one of the best tackles i have seen. Also agree lockers did well to shunt him over into Josh's pathmagsrads wrote:Think Lockers needs a shout too he chased Hull player into Josh's path ...

Charnley is class. Lets hope we keep him!

Truly outstanding !! Brilliant defensive play from Charnley
Never say die - its what Wigan is All about
Never expect less (only at the Pound-shop will this happen)

Re: Charnley's Tackle
It was this game's equivalent of Joel's try against Leeds in 2011 for me.
Watched the game back on BBC already and they were suggesting it could have been a knock on by Charnley or even offside when Lockers picked it up. What should have been said is that is one of the biggest moments you'll see at Wembley. Great effort by Josh and Lockers. Wilkin to his credit said even if the refs decided to give Hull a set down there, it wouldn't matter because the way Wigan were defending meant Hull wouldn't score anyway.

Re: Charnley's Tackle
IMHO That tackle alone should have made Josh the Lance Todd winner. Matty's kicking was great, Lockers and Taylor were awesome, but I think if they had scored then it would have been a very different outcome.
