I wonder how many players Wane has dropped when the tackled player clamps his leg round the opposing player to make out he is being held down?
Wigan are probably the biggest culprits of that with Bateman the main offender.

1. Ashton Golding
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Kallum Watkins (C)
5. Ryan Hall
6. Joel Moon
7. Richie Myler
8. Adam Cuthbertson
9. Matt Parcell
10. Brad Singleton
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
12. Carl Ablett
13. Stevie Ward
14. Brad Dwyer
15. Brett Delaney
16. Anthony Mullally
22. Ash Handley
27. Cameron Smith
28. Mikolaj Oledzki
30. Josh Walters.
Depending on how fit Cuthbertson is it should be Walters and either Smith or Oledzki who miss out I reckon.
No Keinhorst, Walker, Ferres or Sutcliffe along with Peteru and Garbutt .

Spot on. Any form of deliberate obstruction is cheating and should be penalised even if not near the ball carrier, then perhaps it will stop being coached.

Shaun Wane riding his high horse all the way to saint steve to wail about having a try chalked off and throwing out hollow hypocritical sound bites out to the local rag, must have a big game coming up.

Judging by that.

Golding; Briscoe Watkins Handley Hall; Moon Myler; Mullally Parcell Singleton; Ablett Ward; JJB. Dwyer Delaney Cuthbertson Oledzki/Smith/Walters

Agreed.

Also agree with the comment further above that the obstruction rule has been overcomplicated by the authorities. Instead of sticking to their guns a few years ago they allowed the rule to be bent by attacking sides who insisted on sending runners into the line. Attacking teams have got slightly better at making the obstruction look less obvious but it’s still there.

In the end a player in front of the ball is offside. It should be entirely on that offside players shoulders to not interfere in any way whatsoever with the defensive line. That shouldn’t only include contact with the defence, it should also include causing a defender to deviate their run in any way at all. Defenders shouldn’t have to be stepping around offside attackers.

If an attacker is offside and is in the way of a defender then penalise him. Then like you say teams will coach differently and refine and improve their attack to be properly creative not just chucking blockers into the defensive line and sending someone quick through the gap it’s created.

What if a defender misreads the attack and tackles a dummy runner should the try stand or be disallowed?

Very poor performance imo. Tried to shut up shop too early and invited wigan back into it. 2 points thrown away.

Shut up shop? We never opened it!

Horrendous officials, horrendous game management.

Like to praise Ablett who did do much dirty work.

There for the taking and we blew it. Too many bombed chances.

This isn’t an excuse for losing the game as we did that to ourselves. But it’s so frustrating watching the Wigan players diving around after being tackled trying to win the penalty. Ryan Sutton is the worst for it.

Both teams looked tired. 4th game in 14 days and tonight was a good advertisement for scrapping the double header Easter weekend. Play that 2/3 weeks either side of Easter and it's a much better game.

8-0 up & then sticking to a 1 man drive came back to bite us big time. The bench rotation was questionable at best & once again dumb penalties prove costly.

8-8. Struggling to complete sets while Wigan are gaining 80m a time .... and someone decided a short kick off was a good idea ... literally guaranteeing they would be in drop goal range.

Incredible stupidity.
