Can anyone remember the last time a ref gave a penalty for a ball carrier leading with the knee? I can't. We really do seem to cop some bizarre calls sometimes.

Finn's in play kicking hasn't been great for ages. Same high bomb that is always far too deep and down the throat of a winger or fullback without any of our players able to challenge for it. It's boring. Wish we'd sometimes try a chip or a kick that finds the floor.

I can't, but that does not render the offence redundant. It's one of the most dangerous plays a big man can make, risking serious head injury to any would-be tackler.

I agree. Certainly. I'm merely pointing out that some of the calls we get are just bizarre and when you see some of them weekly it starts to make you wonder.

I see the wingers and moaners who only appear when we lose are out in force - pathetic as ever.

Wakey warrior, is that you Mopsey sowing trouble as ever?

Changes needed for cas. I'd bring in arundel for Lyne and wood for Finn give rocky a go at 7. Finn caught out a few times in defence last night

I'm a massive Arundel fan an I'm also one of those who used to criticise Lyne years ago because he was pap. But Lyne was good against Warrington and deserves his place in the 13.

Last one I can remember was Stuart Fielden so we're going back a while.

Craig Smith ended the career of John Stankevitch by doing this so it’s hardly a bizarre call

Agree! One of the most bizarre calls I've ever seen, Pauli has an explosive leg drive but leading with the knee!?

I think you have to go back pre Fred Lindop (the best referee imo ever) for a penalty as stupid as that

He didn't lead with the knee though
It was a bad call from Childs

I thought the same to me he was a bit bent over leading with the shoulder if any thing, how could he raise his knees

The wire player looked to go low and get bumped off may have copped a knee but it didn’t look like Pauli was doing anything other than driving it in. I get the need for it but I was a bit puzzled at the game. Not seen a penalty in super league myself for that before in all our years. It’s a bit like the downtown penalty. We got penalised last year for downtown despite no interference in play. The week after on Sky exactly the same and the player downtown got involved in play to eventually score (think was cas or Leeds) but it wasn’t penalised like it rarely is. This isn’t a moan atvrefs or some conspiracy btw . I just find it strange or unlucky.

One thing that worries me is maybe how the officials perceive Wakefield team this season. We have been pinged and destroyed by officials against Wigan and Warrington around the ruck with penalties. That needs to stop.

The one thing I didn’t like at Wire was we made a number of breaks but a number of times ref held up play and wakey lost momentum. A wire player got bumped off Pauli and we got on front foot with an offload and the ref stopped play and ran to the wire player who was having a nice stretch and then run back to the defensive line that was then set. Think this needs to be looked at in more detail around how and when play is stopped.

A guy on Twatter is complaining of Trinity supporters singing IRA songs on Friday night, I wasn't there so couldn't comment, did anyone hear this chant or is he just stirring it?

He's talking rubbish
