It's on, you have to choose Challenge cup forum.

I can't see it either, just options to watch second-rate bands at Glastonbury.

Couldn't find the option anywhere on Freeview.

As bad as him sending Solomona's up as a try despite him clearly losing the ball. Thankfully the cameras caught him in touch anyway.

And Hicks did not once mention he had lost the ball!

It's a terrible rule that I've been very critical of but let's face it, anyone saying there was conclusive proof that he missed it isn't being very honest. There was no replay that showed a gap between hand and ball and nothing to completely rule out the possibility of finger brushing ball. I'd say it was less likely that he did than he didn't, but the rules require conclusive proof. Those same rules apply to every team.

The only way it could have gone differently is if Hicks had discarded the rules and overturned the try without conclusive proof.

I could see his hand all the time and didn't see any part of it touch the ball though!
However, the problem is the system.
Thankfully it was irrelevant, the game was already over as a contest by then.

Well played Wigan, the first half performance was excellent.

The “No Try” V.R. decision is the perfect example of why they need to change that rule.

The commentary seemed a little “Sky Like” at times with Nobby taking on the Stevo role, especially at the end when he was adamant Campbell referred it upstairs as a “No Try” – No he didn’t!

The rule is a farce. Thankfully we've got one back by the looks of it tonight but it doesn't make up for the one that was given in the Grand Final.

It should be scrapped asap.

What did everyone think of the Sam Tomkins try?
