Quote: Father Ted "Everyone's getting worked up something Eddie H said, right or wrong.
It's a fact that all teams try to slow down their opponents ptb and when they are in possession get the fastest ptb they can. Nothing has changed there!
BTW has anyone a view of why Bentley was not sin binned for the late tackle on Deacon when the ref gave a penalty? Isn't it in the rules that it is an automatic sin bin for taking out a kicker late?
Seen it in the game more and more that when the kicker is taken out the team get a pen but the offender doesn't get binned.'"
Wigan do this to make sure the opposition can't get a quick play the ball but they want a quick play the ball themselves. If all teams tackled and held like Wigan do then no one would ever get a quick play the ball. The game would become slow and boring. I think that is what we all want to avoid.
I hope every other team make a pact to do this next season and just lets see what the refs do and how the crowds react. It might be good for Wigan but it will become detrimental to our game as we know it if it is allowed to continue. (Hope that makes sence)
