What was the punishment to Leeds when they where found doing the same? I cant recall it happening.

Hopefully a points deduction to get us down to 5th in the table

Nothing yet. It only happened a couple of weeks ago. I would imagine that both Hardaker and Wellans will get some kind of warning.

What happened?

What's water gate?

Wellens pouring water all over the ball prior to a Wigan drop out

I've seen plenty examples of clutching at straws but this is a new one. Fantastic stuff.

It was mentioned on Sky and it will probably cop Wellens a telling off from the RFL (as it will Leeds). There is nothing more too it than that.

I am sure if a Wigan player had done it to Saints there would be comments about it regardless of the result.

Prior to saints kicking off, I believe, giving us a wet ball to catch. Doesn't make much sense the other way round...

what i think happened was richards kicked the drop goal then before saints took the kick off wellens poured water over the ball to make it harder to handle and from the very first hit up crosby dropped the ball. blatant cheating from a guy i've lost a lot of respect for, but if thats what they've been reduced to then its sad for them.

Poor on one hand, but damn clever on the other.

Bingo, we wouldn't have a go at Sam for doing it, smart gamesmanship

Quite correct, it was the Fosters talking when I typed it out

He must have been watching Michael Athertons highlight reel on youtube before kick off

Can you imagine the amount of brain explosions on the Saints forum if Tomkins did something like that??? They'd want him sent to the gallows
