If Child's preseason performance against the Wire anything to go by, I predict 7 sin binnings. 4 for us, 3 for Wigan. The man is a top class bell

Down to the directives they have been issued with. Its up to the players to learn the rules

I guess we have been learning as I think IIRC we had 3 in the bin at Wire, 1 in bin at St's then none in the bin at Castleford. I just found it strange that we had people put in the bin but none of the other sides had anyone in the bin. Can we be really that different in whatever we are doing or is something so simple?

I know Mellor got binned for holding down at Wire after they had made a clear break but there were a handful of games last year in which a Widnes player made a break and was held down with no-one sin-binned for a professional foul. I think Wilkin at St's also got away with a direct punch to head of Widnes player too.

If the ref fair to both sides that's fine by me but to be more picky on one teams infringements than another on purpose or subconsciously is when it IRK me!

Talk about the three stooges!!!!
Watch out for nasty Widnes players reefing the ball from O'Loughlin's grasp!!!!

It's always the same every team picks on SO don't they, you think the officials would catch on and have a think!!! Hummmmmm maybe SO is dropping or releasing the ball on purpose to get a penalty?

Nah it was stripped! PEN!
