Paranoid much?

That works both ways too. I don't see many (only 1 actually) fans highlighting the calls that went for Salford. The Penalty try being the best example.

Dire game. To be fair to Wigan you'd think it was Salford who'd have had the short turn around.'"
Did Wigan turn up last Sunday?

| Quote Him="Him"Yep.
1 - I haven't seen it again but I thought he grubbered it too, but then that happens in plenty of "low" drop outs, not to mention kicking it from in front of the try line.
2 - It was the strangest attempt at kicking the ball back to a team mate I've seen if that's the case, he didn't make contact with the ball either. Should've been a penalty at least.
3 - No it wasn't. Because it wasn't a run around. It was a pass, followed by an inside return pass, followed by the ball carrier running behind his own player. That's not a run around. For it to be a run around the player "running around" (was it Smith?) needs to be much further "around" the man before he gets the return pass.'"
Correct, it was an attempt at a run around but it wasn't executed properly, when Smith receives the pass he is still a couple of yards to the left of the Wigan player that passed it to him, he then ran, with the ball, around the back of that player. That by the laws of the game is crossing, whether it actually caused an obstruction or not is a different matter. Anyone who thought that was a genuine run around doesn't know what they are talking about.

To be fair the Hauraki one reached 4 pages in under 24 hours. Also this one would still be 4 pages if not for several messages from different Wigan fans solely posting "VT obsessed with Wigan again" bumping up the number.....much like you just did.

To be fair it's not just Wigan. Leeds attract a similar amount of attention on here.

Yup, I started both threads, illustrating the point in my first thread. This thread was motoring along within hours.
Though it's not suprising, [ithis wiggin team[/i is obviously putting the frightners up a few folk as we head into their territory - trophy time of the season.

Yet Stuart Cummings and the video ref (after several reviews) deemed it legal, and while the on-field ref correctly referred it to be checked, he didn't see anything worth penalising.
I wonder, on balance, who might know the laws better.

Think the Sinfield and Hock incidents actually received more and to be fair, a lot on this thread has actually diversed to discussing crossing/obstruction so its really only 3 and bit pages to be fair...
For the record, I wouldn't put out "obsessed" claims, no team is worth obsessing over, no matter how successful they have been or how annoying their support is - and before anyone thinks I'm having a go at Wigan, I'm not, just talking in general

And yet both Stuart Cummings and the Video Ref have got things wrong in the past.
I think Cummings and the VR both jumped to the conclusion it was a run around without looking at that aspect of it enough.
The run around wasn't executed properly and so resulted in obstruction, in my opinion.
In the same way as many pass out the back plays haven't been executed properly this season and led to obstruction too.
If the players get their plays right they generally won't obstruct. But it's a risk you take when you have players without the ball in front of the ball carrier and in the defensive line.
