The only other alternative is Widnes are serious title contenders, so we all know which is the most likely!

Embarressing, hope that is not the standard of refereeing this season.

Do you think that Joel Tomkins would have tried that on with a certain Mr Simms?

Nothing changes ,if Wigan can't win normally ,then the dark arts start as seen tonight.

Catalans play to the limit ,but Wigan under Apeman are something else.

Both Tomkins and Smith should be going to Red Hall on Tuesday. Farrell's high and late hit in the first half needs looking at and in the second half there wasn't a single tackle made by farrell where he didn't either hold the tackled player down or commit offences at the ptb.
On a more positive note it's a pleasure to see that after a winter of elocution lessons Shaun Wane is now reaping the benefits in his post match interviews.

Yeah probably.

Would've been laid out for his troubles too.

Maybe Child gave a yellow so Smith wouldn't get a better deal in a disciplinary hearing?

Getting a yellow card with 1 minute of the game to go ,is like getting a 6 month ban with 4 months until the season starts...!

I really do think Wigan need action against them. Farrell's actions in total were a disgrace and you just cannot allow what Tomkins & Smith did. In addition I (unusually) agree with Stevo that the Laws regarding events after a try has been scored were shown to be inadequate. At the very least, the non-offending team should re-start with a penalty after such obvious foul play.

We all know he is more likely to do it to Myler (again) or GOB

Im amazed to see people shocked at the way Wigan played... It's not as if Wane is going to change these tactics.. they are the only ones he has.

There was foot twisting going on in the three man tackles too.
I spotted it, but not sure who without watching it again.
I didn't see his number.

It was a tactic that Lockers used on Bridge during the play off semi.
Bridge had to limp off and couldn't return, it was effectively game over at that point although we did give a dig.

Bit early to be writing off the Pies. They were missing a few key players and it was just the first game of the season. Widnes looked more determined than I'd seen them before and Heremiah added a lot to their attack. They deserved at least the draw.

Steve Simms would of battered him!!
