is it now RFL policy that one of the teams in every game has to wear the most ghastly coloured kit that is as far removed from their traditional colours as possible?

You didn't get the memo?

[bratman]

Obstruction from Kendall!

[EagleEyePie]

Clear obstruction from the ref  

[Just Browny]

Dave Woods might think that's hilarious but that is shocking refereeing.

[graveyard johnny]

shoulder charge from the ref! hes a better defender than dufty!

[bratman]

Great play from Wigan, but I think that's a bit harsh for that to be given

Not sure why he started running backwards like that. Pretty poor positioning.

He has to be somewhere, he can't disappear.

It's always frustrating when that happens, especially when I think Thewlis probably would have tackled him, but he can't just disappear. He was already trying to get out of French's way, he needs eyes in the back of his head to see Thewlis coming across.

Why, the ref is considered part of the pitch like goal posts.

He changed direction quite significantly. If he continues his run there's no collision.

[Just Browny]

That's offside. 

[Padge]

Good try from Wire.

[EagleEyePie]

Miski not trusting the sliding defence is a bit of a regular occurrence. Good hands from Wire though

So what, he was moving out of the ball carriers way, the player he was watching, Thewlis should be aware of his environment and not take the ref out.

the linesman could have stuck his leg out to trip him  to stop that one though

[JohnM]

Farrell, you're an idiot!  Six again then a try because of you.  DISCIPLINE.

I'm sure he'll be kicking himself at the missed opportunity at HT

Because he was denied an opportunity to make a tackle by the ref being in the way

Irrelevant unfortunately.

This situation would probably come under the age ol' rule of "sh** happens"

[Barry Badrinath]

They didn't drag him over kyle

Surely that's a penalty to Warrington for a second effort to put him over the line?

That's not how the game works, the ref is part of the furniture, if Thewlis had ran into the post would you be complaining that the post got in his way.

Yep he's got to be somewhere.
