How mature.

Fonua's hands are pointing backwards when he releases the ball, and that's what counts - not where the ball was released and where it was caught. Momentum and all that.

As for the 'facts' jibe - remind me which of us stated that the pass was forward as a fact rather than opinion again?

To be fair though, the pass Thaler called forward when Manfredi went over in the corner wasn't forward.

The main thing that pisses me off is the obvious work that goes in to bending the rules as much as they can from Wigan. They must spend one day a week at it.
The 2 most ridiculous decisions of the game were the penalty on Ellis, when SOL had clearly moved around his leg to play the ball; and The decision that Williams had not knocked in collision when Mini knocked on and went through. The idea that it didn't hit the FC player is ridiculous. But it should be noted that it was Hicks that made the call on the latter.

Having just relived all the excitement again, iplayered it because if I record games we lose!!!!, both Manfredi and Isa's tries were forward passes. Michaels, I wasn't sure about, favouring as ok until the credits came up and showed a complete different angle from the side and the pass was deffo good.
