After a bit of reflection and watching a replay then Hull did get the rough end of any marginal decisions and the handling of the PTB was terrible. Although I don't like Thaler as a referee the real problem is Wigan and their absolute commitment to cheating on just about every play. It puts the referee under enormous pressure when combined with the constant verbals the likes of Tomkins and the head hunter give out. I am sure that Thaler isn't biased but also that the pressure he's under makes himself want to appear fair and not give a hugely lopsided penalty count which is what Wigan deserve in most games they play. Couple that with the frustration of their opponents when they see what is not getting penalised and they get dragged into the gutter Wigan occupy if they aren't careful and being less skilled at cheating end up being penalised.
Still the good guys won in the end. Hopefully Wigan will come up empty again this season and their only footnote in history will be as cheats that didn't prosper.

Have you watched the video yet? There's a peach of an angle on the slow motion replay that's right in line with the pass and clearly shows it going backward. And I was in line with the pass myself at the game.
No forward passes in that move. None. Zero. Zilch. End of.

Yeh so was I, and I thought it was forward at the game, and watching it over and over again, I still think it was, Michaels stretching forward to catch it, he caught the ball in front of where founa passed it from, tells me it was forward. Anyway who cares haha , just like you been wrong and reading your toss bag responses
