There has been a whole new wave of time wasting creeping in over the last season.
Players feigning injury, especially from drop outs, defensive scrums and penalties.
Sides have always wasted some time from these stoppages in play but, it's reached epidemic proportions this season and most sides are culpable, with players dropping to ground with a mystery injury, only to jump back to their feet when they feel that their side is "ready to go".
As for Tomkins knees, definitely deliberate and his look of fear after he connected, showed, not remorse for an accidental collision but, fear of being sent off and costing his side victory.
Just another of Wigans trademark plays. mind you, Charnleys looked deliberate later on as well
