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.
the six again on the last tackle at 12-10 with ten to go killed rovers there was plenty of them in the game but that one looked dodgy ,rovers were gassed at that point wigan just about shaded it no complaints ,the rucks need more policing for every team
