Was he not not the ref who allowed marshall to tap the ball where he wanted to at belle vue 18 months ago which led to winning try. If he was he owes us a few

I can live with him giving against us when warrintedand they may of been can live with the forward pass and the ball steals too esp with it been a new rule my issue is with him not been consistent and pulling leeds and not giving us restarts as they wearnt perfect and messed about in the ruck to ie the topou and prior incident

Oh my word

Have you seen the Wigan squad !!!

I don't think anyone will argue that this is a very weak Wigan squad to what they will put out later in the season

Really don't like this ball steal rule,how is the ball handler to know when other players have dropped off whilst taking the ball in or trying to break out of a tackle.

As far as I'm concerned as soon as 2 players enter the tackle that should be that and no ball steal should be allowed.

We seem to be changing the rules again for the sake of it

Chris Chester mentioned the ball stealing on last nights full 80 minutes. He wanted to know at what point is the tackle completed, considering Tom was on the floor with his free hand touching the ground,

You can get 14 start on Wakefield at even money some places

While no fan of the rule it only seems our coaching staff has an issue adapting to it.

It would be interesting to know at what point are tacklers no longer involved AND when the tackle is deemed complete.

Having said that, Leeds look to have practiced dropping off the tackle to allow a steal and we certainly had not. They made more steals than any other side last week.

However, when there are still other players touching the player, surely they are still involved in the tackle.

Maybe the key is to hold one of the additional tacklers in, so that there are always 2.

Only the ref and Barry McD couldn't see that but to be fair on Barry he is one-eyed in every sense of the word. It was a baffling decision.

This is point ... it’s all down again to interpretation and you will see many different views from different officials as the season goes . I personally don’t like it and couldnt see anything wrong with the rule as it was .

This is where the captains challenge should come into play. This would remove a bit more pressure from the refs.
