I haven't seen the replay yet but my impression was that the Houghton card was unfortunate as he got hit by Connor himself and had nowhere to go. Washy was stupid, but LMS swinging and missing should have been carded too. Masi was late but so was LMS on Kelly. The inconsistency is my main gripe across the board because other than that I thought Thaler did OK, with the other three refs across the weekend being better.

Should have at least binned the Saints player who swung an arm that hit the Leeds player round the back of the neck and in fact put undue pressure on the neck which resulted in the injury. I thought he missed a couple of crucial forward passes leading up to Saints last try

Refs always seem to offer more penalties to the home team rather like tonight the crowd always scream for penalties and the ref seems to agree!

From were I sat it virtually looked as if every Wigan set had a forward pass.

They also constantly had dummy runners standing in our defensive line and/or actively obstructing defenders. It's something we don't do but should be as it makes defending much more difficult

I don't think hicks was too bad overall yesterday and didn't give many penalties for a change
