I think if Sky had have been showing the game,that would have been a try.BBC coverage is very poor,should spend some of our licence money on more cameras.

So you think the try was disallowed because it was broadcast on the BBC . It wouldn't have made any difference if it was on Sky.

Ellis was miles short of the whitewash .

Ellis had a mike on him and he said on field that he was short and no try. But it's obviously a bent ref and cheating wigan's fault it wasn't given!

Looked a try after Ellis had done exactly what hicks said he could do and propelled the ball forward whilst under possession. I wasn't surprised when it wasn't given though. Not in the slightest.

i thought the v/r might have given benefit of the doubt to ellis.the ball was definately touching the white wash.

I'm not a neutral, I dislike (not hate, it's a strong word) your team to the marrow of my bones, but I'm glad you won tonight, we have clearly not spoken before!

Not easy to speak, I'm banned from your board. Like so many others.

I meant neutral in the sense that you have no affinity to either team.

Thought this was a true 50/50 decision. Had it been sent up as a try it most likely would have been given, but with the initial decision being no try there wasn't sufficient evidence to overturn. Not sure if the VR had access to the super-zoom images as he seemed to struggle throughout the match to get quality angles and footage.

I've certainly seen far worse tries awarded.

I think had he just continued his line and not tried to step tomkins, he'd have scored
