What is this about and when...........
This was a classic match played in brilliant sunshine. Wigan made the first score in the 7th minute when hooker Jack Blan went over after a powerful burst. Wigan continued to apply the pressure and in the 19th minute New Zealander Nordgren went half the lenth of the field to make it 6-0. As the first half progressed Billy Stott began to inspire Trinity, he was tackled by the last defender after making an interception before finally scoring following an exchange of passes with winger Ron Rylance. A penalty by Stott brought Trinity to within one point at half time.
A great tackle by Wigan fullback Cunliffe on Wakefield player-coach Jim Croston prevented an early try with Trinity on top but in the 50th minute Wigan winger Stan Jolley pounced on a dropped pass and raced 70 yards to score in the corner. The two sides exchanged blows as both Stott and Nordgren scored their second tries, the latter following a superb break by Cunliffe. With nine minutes to go Croston got through a gap to make it 12-11, Stott missed the vital conversion.. Then with 90 seconds remaining Wigan were penalised for obstruction and Stott sent the difficult kick between the posts to take the lead for the first time. Even then the excitement wasn't over, Wigan were awarded a penalty five yards inside their own half, Nordgren took the kick but it fell short to make it seven misses from seven attempts.
Who was missing and why?
