Wigan's 3rd try - obstruction? : Sun Apr 24, 2011 6:50 pm  

having watched the match back over again, when Charnley scores his second try to make it 16-10 Joel Tomkins appears to block Foster in back play. Foster probably wouldn't have stopped Charnley anyway but the try should have least been handed to Alibert.

Im not complaining I think the try was fine and it was hard for Joel to pull out, I don't think we were hard done by either, the calls evened itself out in the end

The only try i have issue with is the one from the forward pass all the others were fine.

Unfortunately, that try meant that they won.

Will you let it go for gawds sake.

Meli scored off a forward pass at Cardiff which gave you a chance to win the game.

Its called swings and roundabouts - some go for you some against.

So now we've had the " assault " on wheeler by hoffman.

The forward pass for the Wigan try.

You don't have to come on the Saints board so it's got nothing to do with you.

Actually, they teeter on the edge of obstruction a lot. I thought I was imagining it but if you watch the replay, their dummy runners hang around in the defensive line, slowing it down. It's subtle and devious and no doubt illegal. I hope Paul Cullen has spotted it and discusses it on Boots'n'All, then everyone will be aware of it.
