What a refreshing change to have a reasonable after-match discussion without idiot trolls ruining it.
Thanks for your hospitality Wigan, another great night, one of my favourite away games of the season as always and a great game in very poor conditions.

Unless I have it wrong, the ball was still in play and until it goes dead its irrelevant when the hooter went.

The hooter went when the tackle was made. At that point the ball is "dead".
That's what all the fuss is about.
At the end of the day we can't change it, but surely at least one of the officials heard it. If that's the case one of the touchjudges should have stood his ground after the try had been scored and informed the referee.
From what I'm being told there is no dispute that the hooter had gone before the ball was played, just that the referee didn't hear it.
As I've just said we (Wigan) have to grin and bear it, but it's a shame it's the main talking point of an excellent and brutal (not dirty) game of Rugby League.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row

Maybe you need a louder hooter! Was driving me mad at the end, kept thinking i'd heard it and I hadn't, it's so high pitched it blends in with the crowd noise.

Incorrect. The referee calls the end with his whistle, don't play to that and you'll be punished.
Granted, the ref should have blown his whistle after the hooter sounded if he deemed the play was dead, but he didn't and there was still one tackle to play out before the end of the half.

spot on there trace, never heard the hooter at the end of either half over the crowd noise in our stand, if it's cost wigan 6 points you'd think the club would get a louder one!
