Just interested in couple of rule interpretations from the Wigan Hull game. Good game I thought and though it grieves me to say it the pies deserved the win.Firstly, when Wigan attempted a drop goal which was charged down, there were several Wigan players ahead of the kicker and within ten metres of the hull player that charged it down but they weren't called offside so Wigan got another set of six. How does this fit with the decision in last nights game where Walsh retrieved his own kick but saints were called offside?
Secondly, Washbrook and Sarginson went to catch a high ball. Both players were looking up at the ball not each other. Sarginson jumps, washbrook doesn't jump and doesn't put a hand on him but Sarginson lands on Washbrook and then lands awkwardly on the ground so Washbrook is penalised. What did Washbrook do to concede a penalty and how could he have avoided it?
