What was the pen count last night? Watching it back and KR got an away with a lot in the ruck and were standing offside on a few plays.
I think it was 5 -2 to them, of course. I had to count the penalties on S uper League match centre.
Smith giving an offside after they'd knocked on is a disgrace and clearly playing to the home crowd.
Lets face it, a ref can give an offside against the defending team, pretty much at anytime in the game and for me it needs to be a blatant offside to be awarded.
That happens all the time in games though. We got one or two decisions like that too. I re-watched the game last night, and, as so often, I didn't see too much to complain about with the ref's performance on a second viewing. I thought the obstruction in mid-field which handed Wigan possession ("You ran behind your own player" No he didn't) was pretty harsh.
