Quote: Judder Man "Think it was last season against Wigan, player Wilkin completed a tackle but got hurt with a blood head injury, Micky Mac acting half took the PTB via his shins into Wilkins face. Ref gave a penalty to Wigan for interference instead of stopping play for the head injury or a blood injury ruling, remember Wilkin getting up off the floor and giving the ref a death stare.
Also, Touch judges get a bit more involved in non-televised games, when its a Sky game they know they have to be 100% correct or they could be undermined by the video ref or the constant replay to find something that "did't happen".'"
In the Grand Final McIlorum deliberately passed the ball at a Leeds player on his knees at the side of him and got a penalty.
There has to be a balance in these things. If we want quick play the balls sometimes we have to accept that the defenders are going to be strewn about the place at times.
I understand what Bren2k means and agree on large part, just that there has to be a balance between the 2 as the play the ball is so massively important these days that you've got to give the defence some leeway too.
