I have had this feeling since LEEDS won the grand final against us that was due to a knock on not given against Leeds and it leading to the match winning try.The video ref again got it wrong and said the ball hit his leg and the ball went forwards,this was a biased decision he had lost control of the ball when tackled thus a obvious knock on. since then I have always had this feeling that the powers in the league do their best to make it as difficult as possible for us to win. The challenge cup game was the same another poor video ref decision, the match was very close and I think had we got the try awarded we would have gone on to win.There was a few poor decisions like when Hull had us under the cosh early in the second half Micky mac knocked the hull players arm and caused him to knock on but bent Bentham gave the knock on to them and even with wigan players asking to go to the video ref he would not. I am losing my respect for rugby league and believe we only win when we are really on top when we are in a close game you can bet 50 50 calls will go against usFawdoffshed wrote:Of course I'm biased, but does anyone else get the feeling nobody in the higher echelons of the RL actually wants Wigan to win anything?
No, there were 2 of you!!First Try Tickle wrote:I know I'm on my own on this but I actually think the video ref got the Clubb decision right.
On the day and on the way home I was 100% it was a try but after watching again and again decided against.
Both Hull players have their hands on the ball, this is allowed as they are trying to stop him grounding it. If they was in the field of play, the ref would have shouted held and Clubb would have been released to play the ball.
However Clubb tried to roll over and ground the ball and this is what made the ball come out. I don't think either player pulled at it and this is how Child's saw it. Also Bentham had given No try so he had to over rule his decision. I could only be 50/50 so would go no try.
I know even Radford said it was a try, and all the Hull fans after the game did, but that's easy when you've won and cup is in your hands.
Now the semi final video decision from Thaler was totally wrong. He couldn't over rule, but then did. I seriously think he was told to by Sky to keep Salford in it and that's why its rigged in some ways.
I watched the replay on the screen at Wembley and there was one clear angle which showed a Hull player pushing the ball upwards out of Clubb's grip in a two-man tackle. I turned to my wife and said "Penalty Try." That angle was then never shown again!TrueBlueWarrior wrote:No, there were 2 of you!!First Try Tickle wrote:I know I'm on my own on this but I actually think the video ref got the Clubb decision right.

I think that sums it up perfectly. The officials in our game are poor at best.Southern Softy wrote:Just to clarify - I don't think SL is rigged but I do think certain referees are not competent to run a match (or watch one, come to that.)
Good spot shed lad and a nice way to warn him about the giant chip!Fawdoffshed wrote:SS. Just be careful. You'll be tarred with the paranoia brush if you keep posting things like that.
