Quote bren2k="bren2k"The Wigan players stopped the clock - Monsieur Alibert forgot.
Wigan and Leeds are two teams that are guaranteed to push the envelope when it comes to interpretation of the rules; that being the case, the referee needed to be assertive, confident and command the respect of both sides - all attributes that Alibert most definitley does not possess.
This was one of the most inept refereeing displays of the season, and there have been a few to choose from. In my opinion, it went a long way to ruining the game as a spectacle.'"
Thankyou! You talk (unbiased ) sense !
