Think it was in the last seconds. Hull vs Saints in the 2001 playoffs. Tommy Martyn's head was in touch (it had paint on it FFS!) and the ref said nothing. Game carried on, two or three tackles later Stankovich (I think) goes over for the winning try.

Andy Goodway for Wigan against Saints in the 1990 cup semi-final at Old Trafford.
If Loughlin had converted the first half tries we'd have been well clear at HT instead of just 12-6,but as it was it was 14-14 with 2 minutes to go and then Hanley made a midfield break and threw an outrageous forward pass inside to Goodway(missed by Mr R.Whitfield) who galloped away under the posts for the clincher.
It was right in the middle of Wigan's dominant period of RL and to beat them you had to be at your 100% best to get near them so to get so close and lose was gut-wrenching to say the least.
To cap the day off a happy Wiganer mooned our dejected coach party on the way out of the coach park!
