All I remember from that game is Leeds being given a shocking try by the video ref.

Not that I’m bitter.

Wigan's first try came from Bowen's fumble which clearly went forwards from Rob Burrow's kick which Farrell then picked up whilst being in an offside position,
Burgess scored on the next play??

McIlorum knocks it back onto Bowen's knee/leg. Faz is offside though yes.

That was a split second call that whereas the McGuire knock on was watched from about 30000 angles in super slow mo and they still got it wrong.

All irrelevant now.

Bit like Tommy Leuluai try in CC final from blatant forward pass.......!

There wasn't even a pass on the play, it was a scoot

Pretty sure he/she is referring to the pass from Mossop for Jeff Lima's try. That was forward, no question.

Its easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the result would have been different if one decision had gone the other way and that would apply to both the Mcguire knock-on and the Mossop forward pass. Some people look at a controversial try/no try after a match and say if you add or take away 6 points from the final scoreline then the result is different. Which is complete nonsense (unless the decision is made in the last minute) as there's no way of knowing how mindsets and tactics would have changed if the decision had gone the other way.

Yes that's the one! Momentum is what I was thinking of. We'd worked so hard to get right back in it, and that killed it for us.....
Wigan seem to have had their fair share of generous calls over the years....

Ha. RFL are a law to themselves. We've had somr massive falls go our way over the years.

2012 playoff vs Wigan. How Hall was not penalised for holding Wigan winger down before Finch mises last minute drop goal, I'll never know!
2013 CC semi vs Wigan. Mcguire blatant knock on before a try to Hardaker I believe.
2009 GF Lee Smith was offside for match winning try.
2011 semi vs Wire, marginal at worst offside by Myler leads to match winning Sinfield pen.
2007 magic weekend vs Bulls at millennium. We were miles offside for last minute winning try after Sinfields pen hits bar. Hanson didn't even check, and would have been ruled out....

To name a few. Plenty of shocking calls against us I could name too though....
