The big issue here is the commentary team, they have a very important role to play as they can massively influence opinion. Fans and lazy journalists follow that agenda (the only logical conclusion is it was an agenda) resulting in this faux outrage which takes away from the fantastic performance from Wigan.

I’m sure after a long career playing Wilkin must know the rules of the game. Yes, it was a forward pass but it doesn’t take too many brain cells to work out they were offside first, he even acknowledged they were clearly offside yet still continued to whinge about it.

We see the ‘shepherds’ every week. Every team does it, they are rarely given unless it is outrageously obvious. This is consistent with what we see see week in week out and will only change with a shift in the interpretation of the rules.

The worst one from the commentary was the decision to completely ignore the clear red card offence by Hiku. Davies got very excited about the possibility of Thompson walking after the most innocuous late tackle that shouldn’t of even been a penalty and the chances of a Wigan player walking after Opacic had a cheap shot on Keighran, incidentally Keighran’s yellow was a joke.

Really poor from the BBC

If someone throws a punch and makes poor contact, do they escape punishment? Of course not.

However, we're discussing this with someone who is using the disciplinary panel as some arbiter of what actually happened

The MRP aren't fit for purpose and never have been. I'm sure you'd be saying the same if that assault had been on one of your players.

Now go away and stop making a fool of yourself. If you can't see contact in the clip I've posted I doubt even Specsavers can help you.

Put it to bed now. We’ll start turning into the Kr fan b*tching about the ref

Annoying for Walters. Was thinking about a Farrell rest this week to get a full 80 out of Walters.

Hill and Coops to get a game though.

I take heart from nonsensical decisions like these.

It means they're cakking themselves again.
