Also, did anyone else see Tomkins water the ball down with the water bottle before their goal-line dropout in the second half, in the hope that we'd knock on? Bet Sky didn't pick that up! Such a role model.

Didn't notice that. I would like a second look at the incident when Currie went through & was possibly tripped by Tomkins.

Yes that should have been a penalty but once again missed by the officials........

Ratchford copped a ban the other week for a "lesser trip" whereas Tomkins positively went out his way to trip/push/shoulder Currie out of the way.

Anyone had a look at the Wigan board about last night's display against us.

They are going into meltdown about their "boring" style of play.

So funny........

Crime of the century

I saw it different. He and Lockers were the better players and around them was the let downs...perhaps making them look lowsey.

I'm fairly sure pitch was sprinkler watered only on our side of the pitch just before kick off too.

ball tampering is a serious offence Imo and thats what it was its no different to playing pool and rubbing chalk off when hand it to opponent not illegal or against the rules just poor sportsmanship which I guess wigan are renowned for

It was almost a good game last night when a bit of rugby broke out from the boring niggle.

Wigan are like the rugby league equivalent of a Jose Mourinho association football team. Any little annoying tactic to gain an advantage they'll take. You won't notice it so much when it's your team (although as a Wire it does annoy me when Chris Hill does all that nonsense) but fans of the opposition do notice it and it's infuriating. Now there are players of all clubs (and Wire got sucked right into that game last night as we were doing it all over the park too) who do this but at Wigan it seems to be the lot of them and the worst two at it weren't even playing last night (Farrell and JTomkins).

The bad thing is whilst the once unwatchable rugby union tries to clean up their play so it's better on the eye; rugby league, with every extra flop, trapped limb, turtling, diving, pulling legs around that our sport does we are getting worse to watch and as a sport we're going backwards in many other ways so do we really need this one as well?

I'm glad the penalty count was so high last night, shows the game for what it was. The ref was good and it just shows you what kind of game it was, as it always seems to be with Wigan. When they have the quality not to play anything like that kind of game

It was the only thing he did of any note in the whole game. Pretty much anonymous for 80 minutes. He's a shadow of his former self since coming from the NRL & injury. The goons can't be happy having one of there marquee spots being used up by a passenger.

Don't worry, a lot of Wigan fans are bored with it and we do notice it - hence why the attendances are appalling. I've stopped getting excited for big games for a year or 2 now because you know you won't see entertaining rugby.

As for wetting the ball, I don't see the issue and wouldn't have any issue if any other team had done it. It's not like he coated it in something you wouldn't normally find on a pitch. Then again, some people believe wetting the pitch beforehand (something they do for latics games too) is cheating too.
