Shoulder charge

Quote: ShortArse "OK. In a game when the ref was peeping like a british rail guard, the TJs were impressively silent. I cant remember a single forward pass given and lets face it, Micky Mac thinks less than a foot in front in OK and London were equally as bad. The knock on that was given was called by 3,000 Wiganers in the stand before the TJ whispered into his mic.
If the game is going to run as an exercise in pedantry, then lets be consistent and call forward passes as well.
Neither TJ appeared to add any input into the 2 potential shoulder charges or the late hit on Mark Smith.
like I said, lets have it either one way of the other, but for the ref to have a whistle party and the TJs to lose their voices is inconsistent.
Nothing personal
Can't work out what your saying about mickey mac and his foot in front of what?

If you think he waited for the Wigan fans to call it then IMO your wrong.(nothing personal).
He ran immediately to the London side of the park (which indicates to the ref he has seen something) and calls it when asked by hicks after the initial wrong call.

Not sure which forward passes anyone thought were missed today above and beyond the normal debatable short passes for dummy half you get most games.
As I said I thought the opening London try was a 50/50 call which I'd like to see again (initial thought was forward but a close one).

Not going to comment too much on hicks performance mainly due to the fact that their all as bad as each other especially this time of year when Cummings gives his usual stamp down on this that and the other rules!

As someone said in another post I'd rather some fans learn the rules before descending into abject hysteria about a decision. There were loads round me moaning about the restarts today when hicks IMO got them all right.
