Do you have to try to be that stupid? I see he doesn't mention graham kneeling on O'Loughlin's head to get up either.
Talk about a disgraceful coach.

He was penalised for that. The point Royce was making was that Wigan's high shots were not penalised - except for Coley's. But there were a number more than that, as well as two tackles in the air, both of which went unpunished.
Simmons has complained about high shots before. I think it's the only thing he HAS complained about. He's fully justified in making an issue of it.

Bet you do.
Leeds fans used to say to us lot 'we only beat you when it matters' and we couldn't really deny it in the Noble era and if we get to play you again next week (which is far from certain) I get the feeling we'll be able to trot that line out.
Wigan can't play much worse then Sunday gone and even then with the odd decision the game could have gone our way.
I'm more worried about the Catalans game then I am a rematch with Saints tbh.

Totally agree! I'm pretty sure wire will not pick Wigan in club call and if we beat the Dragons, I'd feel very confident going to Widnes and knocking moaning Joyce and her team out.
Roll on 7pm on Sunday!

Erm, remind me again how Morley got his eye injury, I seem to remember it being in the game v Saints in an 'incident' that lead to a St Helens player getting a ban, but I must be wrong as they never commit any fouls.

I think you will find that at least 3 superleague coaches have spoken out about wigans underhand tactics this year.A lot of what they do is certainly against the spirit of the game if not illegal.Maguire is a very good coach in that he has got wigan playing far better than they should be with the players he has,and has got them super fit,but part of me wants him gone because of the tactics they employ and the sneaky way they try and bend some of the rules.For instance The first half when foster was kicking a pen all wigans players walked towards him to deliberately put him off .This is just one of many tactics employed by him and the sooner he returns to oz the better the game will be.

| One of the coaches that did speak about Wigan's brutal tackling was Richard Agar at the press conf after Hull FC's game at the DW.
That was a thug a thon from FC with Wille Manu leading the way and Yeaman not far behind. Joel took a big head shot from Yeaman, got the pen and then managed to get himself sent off. Ganson was woeful. Sending Joel off was the only decision he got right all night!
At the press conf Agar spoke about the brutality of the Wigan tackling!
A truly jaw dropping moment after seeing his team for 80 mins. They'd lost of course.
I'll say one thing for Simmons, he seems to have taken John Monie's advice in that a coach should only complain about the referee when he's won.

| Quote ="SaintsFan"as well as two tackles in the air, both of which went unpunished.'"
Not sure about 2, but there was definitely one where the Saints players whined about their man being "taken out in the air", to which the ref rightly pointed out that the ball had bounced BEFORE the man jumped up while it was on the rebound, which means that the hit is LEGAL.
I quote from the RFL rule-book:
Quote Mid-air tackle 1. (b) It is illegal to tackle an opposing player attempting to field a kick whilst the player is in mid-air. The catcher must have returned to the ground before being tackled. (See Section 15.).'"
Therefore, if you jump to field the kick and are taken out, it is a penalty.
However, if you let the ball bounce, you are no longer "fielding a kick" and a mid-air shot is absolutely fine.
Stop whining and learn the rules.
