Referee should have just penalised Lockers in the first place for in the ruck.

Exactly, and for Lockers to have got back onside, he would have had to move into the line of play first.

Quote Upanunder="Upanunder"He was stood to the right when Randell received the ball at ahb from Kirmo, right in the f00kin way, but that's what he's paid to do, right?. I mean, he could have stayed down and not interfered, but no, he's gonna stand up right there because that's how wakey are set up for the next play. Randell tried to go around the front of him but the play was already fuxxed up by 2 instances of interference, he feigned a pass to Grix, I say feigned because it clearly wasn't designed to be a pinpoint pass, it was designed to sort the 5h1t out one way or the other, and it did. Whether it was or wasn't "cheating" seems besides the point, I know anything short of an 8 point penalty try for wigan will leave you giving it the big boo hoo's but back in the real World, Lockjaw was doing all the 8u1151t, were it not for his interference both in the tackle and at the pob, nobody would have been chucking the ball at him. He spun the wheel against the odds and lost that one, but not the game, eh'" Even google translate couldn’t make head nor tail of this. I’m sure there is a point of view in there somewhere, any chance of an English version? This may help: www.dictionary.com

I think the ref has to be better on this. Either SOL is deemed as interfering and the penalty is given before the hooker picks the ball up or it is deemed that SOL has done enough to put himself in a position where he is not interfering and the hooker is penalised for gamesmanship.



I’d love to know what wa said between Sheens and Ganson over the MM one.



From our point of view at least it wasn’t crucial and didn’t make any difference to the result unlike the MM one.

the fact the wakey player practically burst out laughing when the penalty was given indicates intent. 100% a penalty to wigan, however lockers was malling about a bit too much for me too so I can see why it was given on this occasion.
