Hilight of the match - just said to my lad "we wont catch him" when Josh appears from nowhere. Also credit to Green for his chase too.

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.
There were a couple. As well as the one near the line, there was on on about the 30m that was just as good.cpwigan wrote:Fantastic effort. Likewise Thornley very early made a great tackle.
You couldn't get a clearer example of a knock on though if you tried, for once having useless officials worked in our favour,Kaii wrote:Not just the tackle but the way he scooped that ball out also, excellent technique
Its clear side on even front on but all the officials are behind it so there is no chance at normal speed they could have known Charnley knocked it out. From their angles it looked like a drop by the Hull player.ian.birchall wrote:You couldn't get a clearer example of a knock on though if you tried, for once having useless officials worked in our favour,Kaii wrote:Not just the tackle but the way he scooped that ball out also, excellent technique
It is not so clear cut Ian. On the face of it the ball went forward but several experts always state you cannot knock the ball on when facing your own try line, you even get players when they field a long kick turn towards their own try line.ian.birchall wrote:You couldn't get a clearer example of a knock on though if you tried, for once having useless officials worked in our favour,Kaii wrote:Not just the tackle but the way he scooped that ball out also, excellent technique
Maybe that was Wane's plan all week. Using players to specifically target Hull's key men. If so it worked. And it made a change from Sam being on the receiving end all the time even though he still got more than his fair share of cheap shots!Panchitta Marra wrote:The tackle that creased Ellis which took him out of the majority of the game was a match winner too.
was it not lockers making that tackle and winning the battle against Ellis.
