Lets see how they deal with Hock and the "eye gouge" it looked very poor on TV

Neither can I , especially if we get a decent ref who cuts out all the niggly holding down. I think Wigan tried to prosecute there normal game plan but were hammered by the ref ... long may it continue.

Whislt I admire the proficiency with which Wigan can slow the PTB down, refs have to draw the line between "winning the floor/wrestle/collision" and cynical spoling tactics. The penalty against Hoffman when he tried to clamp the players arm in a position so he couldn't get up was a good example of the ref doing this.

spot on , the aussies got that good at it (like Wigan to be fair) that they introduced 2 refs .. maybe we should be doing the same?

Pretty good idea if you ask me. We have one of the quickest teams in the league. Imagine how devastating Tomkins would be if he had quick PTB's to play off?

Rogues would be in tears
