no offence, but it is easy to get a name wrong when you have your head in your hands whilst your own players are throwing the ball about on their own try line!

Sense of humour bypass alert!

Agree about the head in hands bit though

Telling the difference between a black guy and a white guy is about as far as it goes though

Must admit, Turner looked like he had put Whitings boots on instead last night though

I watched it in real time, I was there! And I said from the second he scored it was DM.

He stretched his arm out to score. That stretch is the second movement. He was already tackled, so had no right to make that stretch. It's a completely separate movement. If it was all one movement he'd have landed on his front with the ball by his chest.

In a sliding tackle the tackle is not counted as complete until the slide stops. He stretched out before the slide stops.

[quote="Eastbourne Warrior"]Ball carrying arm does touch the ground however momentum is not stopped and the tackle is not completed.

The obstruction was given because the dummy runner stopped in the defensive line which he is not permitted to do. If he had carried on going forward another 5 yards it would have been fine. Harsh IMO but them's the rules.

PS. Good hard game from you lot last night. [b]Has you not hit the self destruct button for 10 mins in the first half you'd have probably won it. quote]

We are just glad it was only 10, it's normally at least 30mins +.

It's a fine line, as he didn't make contact. Had he managed to make contact and stick his studs in the little scr0te's face than it should be a pen to Hull and player of the month award!!!

It should be an offence to not lead with the knees/feet when approaching Scum, I mean Sam, Tomkins!!

The fact is that, if it was the other way around it WOULDN'T have been given... All night it seemed a case of;

For Wigan: Look for any reason to give it.
For Hull: Look for any reason NOT to give it.

Pretty certain we've had a few of those chalked off for being a double movement, and IMO that was certainly one last night!!
