Gerry,
Thank you for your e mail.
All the field officials and most of the players were unaware of the fact that the siren sounded. Sean O’Loughlin, the Wigan captain, confirmed in a conversation with Richard Silverwood that he too had not heard the siren.
The Match Commissioner is not wired up to the field officials and therefore would not be able to inform them.
Regards,

Very poor response in my opinion, as has been mentioned previously the hooter was heard perfectly at full time so how can there be any difference.
Both Leuluai and Fielden both confirm in the Observer that they heard the hooter at half time.
I see that it's commented in tonights Observer that Mr Cummings says we should get ourselves a new hooter

I live in Germany and I could here the hooter!!
I would have thought that the Ref, being the guy who decides when play starts, finishes etc. should have been very alert, at that stage of the game, to the fact that the hooter was about to go. Doesn't he have 2 watches?
What a load of codswallop!!! Typical Cummings. The man is useless. Go now.
Question: is the first time the Ref has complained about "not hearing the hooter"? If not, it makes a jackass out of both of them.
I agree, the Club should respond.
