good effort from your lot last nite,we had that ref last week and he is poor to say the least,ok for the first 10 mins then forgets the rules and blunders his way along for the next 70,why the rfl think this bloke is decent is beyond me!

Alibert was his normal self, bad for both teams and not biased either way. SGI played to the rules he allowed on the night and Wigan didn't.

What I didn't like was the players in or around the ruck constantly slowing play down, off the tackle but clearly in a position to slow down the ball distribution. This is getting into SL, I seem to remember watching Leeds doing this.

I remain convinced he's actually called Terry Albert and is from Castleford, but retains the name and Mr Crabtree style French accent so he can stay employed

If you don't like this you had better stop watching Wigan mate. they are the masters of it, no other team comes close to their expertise in this area of cheating

Cheats

It's not cheating though is it, it's annoying and frustrating and it pee's off a lot of fans and coaches but 'legally' Wigan are doing nothing wrong. Do i wish the messing about at the ruck was changed and penalised,yes i do but you can't blame Wigan for exploiting this, it's the RFL that need to sort it out. This sounds daft because it annoys me too but i hope Wigan carry on using the tactic, any team that plays within the rules is entitled to do what they need to, to win. No rules broken so carry on as you were.

They are not experts in cheating just experts at playing to the far edges of the rules.
