Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

you will by now have realised that it is a very rare ocurrence when I post about a letter in the rugby paper, but today a letter from mr Barlow of cottingham caught my eye.in it he writes that he was enjoying the Wigan v Leeds match on friday but once again Wigan were awarded a try from a blatant forward pass and even the sky commentators acknowledged this.in the game played earlier in the season against Saints Wigan were losing 10-0 near half time and the same thing happened. in both these matches the "tries" from the forward passes made the difference between winning and losing, in the game against H.K.R. a few weeks ago (which Wigan went on to win convincingly)the match was still finely balanced after an hour and Wigan scored from another out rageous forward pass ,in fact the report of that game in the times the pass was described as laughable and that even the Wigan players were giggling,and then he ask's why do Wigan get away with so many forward passes ,
