That's ok, then we're all happy!

One thing that cheered me up no end was the fact that I know of someone from W***n who put £2k yes two thousand on Wigan to win last night.

Is it someone who posts on RLFANS?

But he (Roby) obviously is one of the best players in the league, hence the mos award

That was nearly as big a joke as Sculthorpe winning it the second year running.

Best British player of his era, by a country mile. He should have won it 5 on the trot, even the seasons he was injured.

Roby will be my favourite for MOS this year. The best hooker in this country by a mile, and one of the world class players in SL.
He would make it in Australia, as well, no problem. He'd be a massive success proving himself to be one of the worlds best players!!
Thankfully, though he as comitted himself to the Saints for the next few years.

but a mistakes a mistake. the third try was clearly forward by about three yards but it was missed. we all saw that too.

I haven't read all of this thread so this may have been dealt with already. However, if you watch the replay of that try you'll see that although the ball does go forward Lomax carries on running after throwing the pass and is in front of Meli when he catches it so momentum rule applies.

The momentum rule doesn't actually exist. It's the direction it leaves the hands they are supposed to use.

It was a close one but probably slightly forward.

Does no one think it perhaps took a touch from goulding's hand to deflect it forward? I only watched it once but thought it may've.

That's what I thought, the ball also seem to change rotation in flight.

However, my missus disagreed despite us both watching the same replays so it's one of those borderline decisions that people will disagree on. If he did touch it, it was a slight one.
