Both decisions were at 0-0 and pretty much sum Thaler up as a referee. Useless.
I've watched the Sau one back on Wigan TV and there's no way they can give a penalty try for that. The penalty was warranted but I doubt anything will come of it. As for the other incident I was right up the other end but again it certainly didn't seem the sort of situation where you could give a penalty try as it was far from certain to be a try.
That poor ref gave you a 12-6 share of the penalty count by the way. He also over-ruled a correct call from the ingoal judge infront of us (who gave a 20m tap) to give a drop out part way through the second half. That then lead to your second try, so he gave you one back there.
Swings and roundabouts as they say.
