No, it's the referee's all being Biased towards Wigan and letting them get away with EVERYTHING!

Not forgetting that we OWN the RFL, of course...And get the rules changed to suit us, anytime we want.

This multiple men in the tackle and peel is not quite as simple as it sounds, and you have to be very fit and disciplined to do it or you get burned.

I remeber them looking at Huddersfield doing it last year very affeectively, 4 in to stop the run then 1 peels early, and one as they hit the ground, hold 'em down for a few seconds and hey presto, every ones back in position.

I wonder why Hudds aren't doing it this year? Or at least, not so's we'd notice anyway.

Did you go to Huddersfield?
If not how many times have you seen them this season?

Bradford used to do something similar. They actually tried to stop the player but hold him up until just as the ref was about to or had shouted held before putting the man on the floor.

They had it down to a fine art and gained a good 6/7 seconds at the PTB.

Funny this isn't it? Last year Wigooners were complaining about the poor quality of play i.e. slow PTBs, but as soon as their team does it and does it well it becomes a triumph of their team's collective spirit and RL has suddenly never been as exciting.

And they whine on about people wanting to change the rules solely due to Wigan becoming good again, and how this shows what a humungous club they are, blissfully ignoring all the ranting they did about Roby/Pryce et al scooting from the PTB and how the rules HAD to change to stop this horrible advantage seemingly only Saints could exploit.

Still, I can see why they're getting all giddy, what with the Ten Match Champions trophy in the cabinet.
