Quote: MTK2 "He hadnt regained his feet because the wigan player had hold of it, its that simple,the tackle was complete, he trys to stand up and play the ball but cant because the Wigan player has got hold of his foot.'"
Come on mate. If there was a penalty every time a defender makes contact with a player at the PTB we would have 200 penalties a match. It's only when the defender is forcibly interrupting the PTB that a penalty is given. That was not the case with Carl Abblett. He was trying to get a quick PTB, and fair game to him, succeeded in getting an illegal one because he hadn't stood up. It happens all the time in our game.
Bringing up insignificant things like this to try to prove that the best side lost is clutching at straws. They didn't.
