Just robbed of our 1st try by Halibert I see. Hoffman taken out, Carmont over for the try but penalty to Warrington. Now Warrington have just scored at the other end.

And there's another wiped off.

this isnt a dig...but on Blythe 1st try did you see one of your supporters smack the bloke next to him? he was sat on the front row right in the corner

Bloody hell! No, didn't see that, will have to look out for it when I rewatch.

gave him a right welly!!

1. He misses.
2. It's kids messing around.

The most interesting thing to take away from tonight was that Tomkins went missing after Westwood had a few digs at him. Made 3/4 passes from dummy half and that's it. Good to know how we can keep him quiet next week!!

The other lesson being that you can punch Sam Tomkins 4 times and [ireceive[/i a penalty. You couldn't make it up.

Penalty for holding down (the original indiscretion) and Westwood told not to take the law into his own hands. Refereeing 101.

This.




I thought "Oh, well that will be a pen to us then..." next min I see our players getting back 10

Holding the man down to stop him from punching him in the head...







What is Tomkins supposed to do? Let go so he can whack him?

NEWSFLASH: Not every penalty has to go to Wigan every time.. just so you know. Even when Sam 'can't touch him' Tomkins is involved!

Yeah. Would have made my night at least!

In all seriousness, he was holding Westwood down before Benny threw a few. He's not just going to react for no reason.. he's not called Joel.

How ignorant.


So holding down is a reason to start throwing punches?

It was only after someone restrained Westwood that Tomkins let go.

I never said the punches were deserved. I did say that he wouldn't have started throwing them had he not been held down though. No serious hits landed by Westwood so penalise the first offence. I don't see your problem.

Nevertheless, striking a player is a more serious offence than holding down and should have been punished. Your approach to refereeing would give the green light to players reacting with over the top violence safe in the knowledge that they won't be penalised and will, in fact, still receive the original penalty. Westwood should have gone for 10, even if the penalty had still gone to Warrington for holding down.

Think you'll find a word in the ear sufficed. There was nothing in it really was there. You're only up in arms cause it was on r'Sam.

A word in the ear for punching a player and a penalty for lying on? And with that you've blown your cover. Back under your bridge now, be a good lad.

One causes the other.. that's why the FIRST offence gets penalised. HTH.

Oh and one more thing...

Aw, have they let you stay up late cos it's not a school night? Did you have fun?

That all you've got

Just re-watched this on Sky! Wallop!! One minute sat there, next minute throws a huge punch at the lad two seats away!!

Bit pointless arguing with someone who's already admitted they're on a wind-up. Don't imagine I'd get much but childish baiting, eh.

Was this the incident that led to the funniest moment of the night, when Solomona grabs young Sam by the collar and literally chucks him like a rag doll away from the ensuing fracas??.....The sight of Solomona then telling Tomkins and his gathering team mates to calm down was pure genius....
