Quins 18 Wigan 24 - Report Now on Site : Sun Mar 01, 2009 11:29 pm  

Think I've surpassed myself for rambling this week but I'm giving opinion on a variety of subjects from Nobby maybe finally realising he's given the likes of Mathers to many chances, to video refs being garbage. Took our luck with that late intercept no doubt but a massive win for us (providing we win again against Bradford). Link: http://wigan.rlfans.com/news.php?readmore=651

Very good well balanced summery think the only bit that was missed was the Bailey double movement the was not given to the video ref but then again i only noticed that when i watched the recording yesterday. Again great post well done.

Excellent report, as always.

I think the Bailey double-movement was more than made up for by the Quins try-that-never-was. That's one of the most glaring examples of bad video-reffing that I think I've ever seen. How he couldn't see that was a knock-on is beyond me.

Also, I'm glad you stuck it to the Muppet Show for their ridiculous take on the seocnd Quins knock-on. No way in the memory of man was that a try, and why Stevo was trying to claim it was is totally bewildering.

Stevo (The Hood) has needed glasses for at least 4 years

The thing that will stand out for me was Fielden in the first half. Made a half break and batted off three (maybe even four) defenders and offered the ball at least four times. Not ONE Wigan player supported him. They all just stood there.

Time and time again Fielden takes stick on here, and when he finally does his job correctly it's the lazy barstewards behind him not doing theirs. Really annoyed me. (as anyone who spoke to me after would have found out )
