He wasn't. He was talking about Featherstone and ten men, simply because Wigan lost.

I started the thread to talk about the 9s comp and NOT Wigan getting beaten by a mythical ten men.

You have seen the screenshot that clearly shows Fev had ten players on the field. Now I challenge you to
1) prove to us all that this is false
2) show us all that in the next two to three minutes of the game that there were only nine Fev players on the field..

As usual you will go into hiding/denial mode.

This is not derailment, it's you who made the mythical accusation.

Not true.
When Wigan scored still Fev had ten men on the pitch and they still did when Wigan went for the power play.

You wouldn't question the great Bilko would you?

Taken from the Wigan site.

Fair enough, I've only watched it back once so easily could have missed a man. The referees were sometimes not exactly on the ball either, so it's perfectly possible.

. . . when the game wasn't even being played.

I reckon Saints might have 18 or so players on the pitch for the warm up tonight too.

Listen Rogues, if a defender holds a player down in the tackle and releases just in time that they wont get penalised, then its considered good defence, not breaking the rules.
Just the same, if Fev didn't get penalised, then all they were doing was using the interchange system to it optimum.
We should just appreciate the excellent execution of their team strategy.

That screenshot was at the start of the second half. They had ten players on the field from then until Wigan scored, including the Wigan power play. It was yet again incompetent officiating or blatant cheating whichever suits. Wigan were almost as bad for not noticing it.

Its only cheating if you get caught, so I'd have to go with the other option. Kudos to Fev for indentifying the weakness, I reckon.
