After a few minutes of replays, a strive for Wigan was confirmed as there was no compelling proof to overturn the delicate name.
“I can’t see a definitive reposition of that ball back to the line,” the video referee mentioned.
“I’ve got a live call of a try, I have insufficient evidence to overturn the live call. I’m happy with these angles I need, I’ve made my decision.”
Wardle was awarded the attempt to give Wigan the lead with quarter-hour to play, which was prolonged to 16-12 after a Harry Smith conversion.
