Oh, totally. This is all just post-match discussion and what have you. Until the next match comes along with its attendant post-match discussion and what have you.

But I'd like to know whether Thaler has been told off for not sin binning your fullback for his professional foul against Wilkin.

And why did he not sin bin the Saints player for the professional foul following the O'Loughlin break?

Which one was that?

Glad you acknowledge the professional foul, anyway!

The slow PTB is a way of preventing fast, attacking and entertaining rugby - which is why many feel the game has become boring over the past few seasons. We all fell in love with the sport because of its fast, attacking style of play - and I know a lot of people getting disillusioned because of this. Huddersfield did it a lot last season, and they enjoyed their most successful season since Super Leagues inception. Wigan are doing it this year, and currently top the table.

Wigan are not breaking the rules, they are just adapting their style of play to the change in rules. Sure, its very ugly to watch, makes their plays boring, irritates opposition players and fans, but its effective.

We all want the rules changing as to eliminate these tedious slow PTBs, not to eradicate Wigans successful tactics, purely to restore the entertaining rugby which we all originially fell in love with.

I haven't I don't believe Roberts moved. Have you watched the game again?

Iv just watched it back, and Roberts simply stood his ground, didn't move at all.

Correct, and Roberts should never have been sin binned. Pryce dummied the tap twice and then tapped it. Roberts then made the tackle.

I agree with Mugwump that we were on a warning and the next penalty in all probability would have been a binning, but you can't pre judge and bin someone for a non offence.

Correct, I genuinly think Roberts thought he could make the tackle, it certainly wasn't a professional foul, just a misunderstanding.

Re: Wigan Tatics : Sat Apr 03, 2010 5:32 pm  

am i right in thinking that all superleague coaches meet up with cummmings pre season to discuss any changes to the rules of the game,i know it has happened in previous seasons.it brings me to say one thing all coaches know what the rules are and if some coaches are to short sighted not to coach the rules to the max to gain an advantage over the opposition then im sorry but they arent the right person for the job,wheather we like it or not we are in a results based business and im sure a coaches job description is to win as many games as possible within the rules,and if the team cross the line the coach knows what the outcome will be

Yes I have and he moved to his right and moved his shoulder in. It's very clear. Watch again if you feel the need.

And I really do not know which professional foul you are talking about btw. If that is what happened then whoever it was who did it should have been binned. I don't like cheating, whichever side does it.
