Lol @ gelling

[Hvy wg]

Ref should improve too...

[Teessidewire]

The Widnes defence hasn't improved in the close season.

[Hvy wg]

Ohh Farrell

[Ant]

Well good to see Wigan still get a different rule book to everyone else

[chuffer]

Ref should improve too...

Quite...some attention paid to attackers holding on to tacklers arms to play for penalties wouldn't go amiss...

[JonNgog]

How do both referee and touch judge miss that nasty shot from Farrell?

[Hvy wg]

Nasty shot from Farrell : nothing. Nasty shot from Ah Van : oh my god, I must stop the game right now. Lol@ref

[The Daddy]

Correct decision

[JonNgog]

Definition of 'swinging arm' from Ah Van.. yikes

[chuffer]

Red card!!

[Hvy wg]

Red card are you serious?

[The Daddy]

He lined him up, correct call

[Ant]

Never a red card

Absolutely shocking from childs, Widnes, you are being done like a kipper

[shun]

No way a red card!

[JonNgog]

err... what???

[Ant]

Game over

14 v 12

[Just Browny]

Well, I'd be surprised if anyone gets to ref a Wigan game this season, they'll keep this one.

I was going to ask hy Sutton didnt get sent off early on, then realised who he played for.

Shocking.

[The Daddy]

How could it not be a red card? He swung with impact at his head.

[northamptoncougar]

anyone else sick of the new interchance rules already?

[Hvy wg]

It doesn't even look like it's intentional... it's reckless but the arms goes by the chest, no by the throat, it's not meant to destroy someone.

[chuffer]

Lined him up ?? Wtf

[MattSantos]

Terrible decision to send him off.

10 minutes surely would have done.

[shun]

If consistansy is the key then there will be a he'll of a lot of red cards this year! S

[scotchy]

If that is a red card, we are going to see a fair few players going this season.

 

Im not going to defend Ah Van because we should expect better, but, its a pretty common example of contact
